Best jewish deli in Dallas?

[Veggo]

Month two and I'm doing great with classic mexican, cheese shops, sushi leads. Now I need a shmaltzy chicken liver and good, slightly fatty pastrami on seeded rye. Talk to me!

[twinwillow]

Others may differ but, take it from a yid from NYC, Deli-News!
South/east corner Preston Road at Campbell Road.

Your cred is already good with me - and it just went up a couple more notches! A fun web site they have, definitely on my list for a #4 triple decker and my Sunday sudoku! Thanks, twin.

And, the best "Nova" in Dallas, too!

[Veggo]

That will be Saturday.

There are things I like at both but I will definitely take the chopped liver and pastrami at Gio's Cafe and NY Deli at Preston and 635 over the ones served at Deli News.

Respectfully, I totally disagree with you about the dry, tasteless pastrami served at Gio's. It was the worst I ever ate. Although, I have heard good things about their matzoh ball soup and chicken liver.
Btw, if Veggo likes poppy seed Danish, he'll love the ones they sell at Deli-News. As well as all their NY style baked offerings.
The OP needs to try both places and thus find what works best for him at each of these two delis.

Now you are making it tough for me, as a protestant-danish-mexican jew! But such wonderful options, oy vey iz mir...

[twinwillow]

Eat the same thing at both deli's and see for yourself which deli serves it, "your way". Then you'll know where to go for what.
I'm most anxious to see your reports.

I had my fix of pastrami and chopped liver on rye this noon, at Deli News. Wonderful ingredients - pastrami was moist, correct lean-fat content, above room temp, almost a sweet taste. Good chicken liver w/ soft shmaltz, on fresh rye. Great $10 sandwich, but it cost $14. Small diameter bread.

I am accustomed to having to make a Hobson's choice after finishing the first half of this sandwich at great American jewish deli's, as to whether to attack the second half, or doggy-bag it. In many restos, half is plenty, so the bag is an easy call. I brought a small cooler with ice in anticipation of take-home, but candidly the delicious sandwich was diminutive relative to it's counterparts elsewhere.

So I scarfed down the second half, and bought the nova salmon you recommended so I had something for the cooler.

Second mission is a work in progress.

How does it compare to Cantner's?

[Veggo]

That's a new one for my list, with Gio's and NY Deli. Which is your favorite? I'm plotting my breakfast with Deli News nova at the moment.

Nu? So how was the Nova?

[Veggo]

The nova is excellent, and I have enough for several more days. I did another cheese run at Sigels yesterday also, but I can't quite figure out a good pairing with the nova for a happy hour appetizer. Ideas other than cream cheese?

[twinwillow]

@Scagnetti: LOL! NOTHING compares to Cantor's! We used to live nearby in West Hollywood back in the mid-sixties. And because we thought the Nate N' Al's crowd was too "snotty", we'd go to Canter's. The food was real "hamisha". We especially loved the 3:00 AM crowd back then. What a hoot LA was back in the mid-sixties!

I spent 8 years in Denver, where the New York Deli News has a pastrami & chopped liver on rye for 11 bucks that you would not want to drop on your foot! For my one year in Manhattan I was of course spoiled by the genuine articles there.

I had the pastrami at Gio's and thought it was great. Moist and tender, not rubbery, and not too fatty.
