The grease should've been dripping down the side of my hand when I picked it up. Plus it wasn't thin-sliced, so if you took a bite, you'd end up with half the meat being yanked out from between the bread.

The knishes were okay. Not great, but okay.
Sorry but who grills pastrami?

It should be boiled with appropriate spices which will render out most of the fat.

After finished cooking let it rest and then slice very thin on slicing machine.

It tends to be kind of a fatty meat but dripping down the side of your hand is not a good thing.

Toojays had good burgers and chicken breasts, do not care for their style of knishes prefer a flatter square one such as Gabilla supplies but unfortunately will not ship here here and knishes at Publix is hit and miss and rather expensive (double what we paid in NJ).
