The City That Never Sleeps

The City that Never Sleeps......let's be honest it did in 2020 for a hot minute.....but usually it's the city that never sleeps and let me just tell you they come around this eating adventure a few times! 

NEW YORK is a place I want to visit as an adult so I can eat my way through it. I know that New York and Chicago have a thing about their pizzas.....this is not that kind of post! The first thing we ordered from New York was one of the BEST sandwiches I HAVE EVER HAD! I want to go there just to have them make it for me. 

Katz's Delicatessen  makes an AMAZING Reuben. Before I get to that let's do a little background on them. They have been around since 1888....It started with two brothers, and then they were bought out as they brought people on. On the Lower East side they are a staple and on Friday nights everyone would turn out for some franks and beans (what they are known for). During WWII all of the owner's sons (three of them) were serving in the war. They would send food to them with the saying "Send a Salami to Your Boy in the Army". This is just a snap of their business early on...but what a way to start. To read their whole story, you can find it here. 

Now onto the food! When you order everything comes packed in dry ice. EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED....meats, bread, mustard, sauerkraut, and pickles. 

In the picture you have, bread, mustard, special sauce, sauerkraut, swiss cheese, roast beef, pastrami, corned beef, whole pickles, quartered pickles, and black and white cookies. We just wanted to try ALL THE THINGS! I ain't mad about it. This fed Josh and I for days. We made different sandwiches each day.




This was our first sandwich....simple BUT delicious. As the week went on we got a little more creative. My favorite way to eat it was...bread, mustard, cheese, meat, cheese, special sauce, bread....then toasted in a pan so the cheese becomes good and melted. 



Katz's Delicatessen will not disappoint your taste buds. It was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had....I know I said it twice, but it was really good. I bet it's even better when they make it. One day I will make it there and enjoy every bite of it.

We did receive an email months later saying thank you for ordering because they survived the hardest parts of the pandemic from online orders. 

Until we eat again......

The pandemic hit and we were like well why not do more for breakfast! We use to do whatever to get out of the door to school and work. Whatever was easiest! Then we were all home and had the time to try and make new things so that's what we did. Here are some things we tried during our time at home......some were a hit....some were a miss....some we have made into our monthly rotation.  First up is Shirred Eggs.....when the hubby first mentioned these I had never heard of them or even had them, but I was willing to try. We actually made them this morning, They are very simple and have a great taste. You put the meat (ham, sausage, leftover ground meat, whatever) in the bottom of the (today we had ham steak in it). Then you top it with 2 eggs, salt, pepper, cheese and the most important ingredient of the whole dish....BUTTER!!!! Eat with a side of toast to soap up all the buttery goodness.  Another new one was Okonomiyaki! Can you say it??? This was delicious and I was a little worr

 Who can name the band that sang that song??? It's only one of my childhood favorite bands!!! I'll tell you at the end of this...if you last that long. Georgia is on the agenda for today. We now live in Georgia and the food has been something that I find lacking......HOWEVER I have found some things that I do enjoy! Peaches for one is something that does not disappoint.....something else that doesn't is PECAN PIE!!!!  I love a good pecan pie....anytime of the year. I make my grandma's recipe whenever I can. I also make her pecan tarts and they just make my heart happy. We ordered from Savannah Candy Kitchen . Like I said I just love a good pecan pie!  This pie was delicious and I HIGHLY recommend that you get it. If you love pecan pie as much as I do...you should just go ahead and order it. You can get it from Savannah Candy Kitchen website or you can get it here too! Just depends on how many pies you want.  Also Georgia Peaches are juicy and delicious! We got these fr

 BBQ is a way of life....when it's done right it is delicious. Joe's Kansas City BBQ knows how to do it. As it states on their site ...."In Kansas City, where barbecue is a way of life, it is understood that smoke has mystical properties. Smoke has the power to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. It can transform the least desirable cuts of meat into the most delectable. It can even transform a neighborhood corner gas station into one of the most popular restaurants on the planet."  Their story is a one that should inspire those who want to follow a passion. This is a husband and wife team (Jeff and Joy) who bought a smoker and entered BBQ contest and winning many of them. A list of all their trophies can be found here . They went into business with a man named Joe Don Davidson, who found and owned Oklahoma Joe's Smoker Company in Stillwater, Oklahoma. The three of them opened the first Oklahoma Joe's in 1996. In 1997 Joe sold his smoker business an
