#1 is #19 without the cheese and had been my go to for decades but lately i am all about the pastrami french dip. i don’t miss the rye and the jus complements rather than overpowers the way mustard or dressing would. so good.
yeah, no

Not quite as bad as Annie Hall… but almost.

almost…lol.
besides the fact that pastrami on rye doesn’t actually NEED anything else except for a schmer of mustard, I’m not a fan of coleslaw at all. I just don’t like the combo of bitter cabbage and a ton of mayo

Yeah I like coleslaw but am on the fence about it on a sandwich.

the only crunchy/“coleslaw”-type item I like on a sandwich are the veggies that come on banh mi (and are dressing an actual banh mi or bahn mi-style sandwich). I think the pickling/acidity works better than mayo to cut the fatty richness of the meat and the veggies just taste better/brighter.

I love good coleslaw but it’s not one of the things Langer’s puts any extra effort into. Probably $12 a gallon from Sysco.

Yes and it doesn’t get soggy which is my problem with slaw on sandwiches.

I am not a coleslaw fan.
BUT…. as I have become more “seasoned”, I do like slaw on pulled pork sandwiches and I like it on Langers pastrami sandwich. Though i prefer it with just a little mustard, I get one sandwich each way and have half of each.

Love their potato salad with a dollop of Russian dressing on the side.

lol. that sounds like it would be on the sweeeeet side.
I doctor/improve my potato salad with mustard and kosher dills (no matter where I get it from–and this also works great at Philippes w/ their spicy mustard).

That would be potato salad with an equal volume of mayo.

FTC Confession: I don’t like anyone’s potato salad but my own… and my cousin Lori’s, who gave me the recipe.

It’s funny this is sacrilege, given the amount of Russian dressing slathered on reubens. But there are prob some alte kakkers who think reubens are beyond the pale.

Good point!
I do understand why mayo with pastrami is gross to some, as it’s already pretty fatty and probably doesn’t need it (I wouldn’t know 
) but I have an addiction to mayo and vegenaise and will put it on almost anything.
