"The slicer refers to this spin on the classic pastrami as the David Special, and according to him, it's something the staff at Katz's likes to make when they're hungry, but don't want to eat a sandwich. The sandwiches at Katz's are notoriously large, so this makes a lot of sense."
"To make the David Special at Katz's, order a pastrami sandwich with mustard. The bread doesn't matter so much - although ordering white bread is the fastest way to mess up a Jewish deli sandwich, so rye is certainly the better choice. Then, order a knish on the side."
"Once your order is up, simply slice your knish in half and smear some mustard inside. Then, add a healthy helping of the pastrami between the knish, and there you have it: The David Special. Although it requires a bit of food surgery, based on the comments under Katz's Instagram post, it seems as though customers are already eager to try it."
Katz's Deli, New York City's oldest deli and a must-visit destination, is renowned for its pastrami, which requires nearly a month to prepare. A meat slicer at the establishment shared an alternative way to enjoy this signature item called the David Special, featuring pastrami on a knish with mustard. This creation is an unofficial staff favorite made when employees want a satisfying meal without the bulk of Katz's notoriously large sandwiches. While not officially on the menu, customers can recreate it by ordering a pastrami sandwich with mustard on rye bread and a side of the deli's square knishes, then assembling them together. The combination has generated customer interest on social media.
