Dude. I live in California so I guess I'm a tourist when I get back to the east coast. In any case, it may be run down, popular, and over-priced, but that doesn't change the fact that IMO it is the best pastrami on the planet. It's also a unique NYC experience.Sorry - That place is such a crappy tourist trap.
The best sandwich I get in the city is the grilled skirt steak from Num Pang on W 12th. That lamb sandwich needs investigating though, where's it from?Of course I have other suggestions or it would have been rude to complain. If you talking sandwich there is a Greek place around the corner that has a the most amazing lamb sandwich. I have a Greek friend and he even has to go by that place that sandwich:
Soft ciabatta bread, a savory tomato aioli combined with a little bit of bite from some arugula and the tenderest lamb.
Then around the corner there are two other places. One has a spicy meat ball sandwich that is really good and the other place has a jerk chicken sandwich which is great but they do not come close to the lamb one.

Last time I drove through San Diego, I saw a place called DZ Akins along I-8 eastbound. Stopped in and my heart almost stopped from the awesome smell. Had the Corned Beef sandwich. Pastrami was pretty damn good too.

Cheeze powder?I know it sounds crazy, but it's not an outrageous heat. It's hot for sure, but taken in small amounts, it's very good. The first batch was 1 small pepper and 1 cup of water, the second batch was 2 small peppers and a 1/2 cup of water. So awesome. It's an unusual heat that really stays on your tongue. It creeps up on you, then stays with you for about a half hour afterwards. I was sitting on the couch sweating with a smile on my face.
I haven't gotten crazy with it, yet.
<edit> it could be that the smaller peppers are less angry, too.

I love the nacho cheese powder, it's like crack, only nachoier.Cheeze powder?
For **** sakes man, what is wrong with a block of reg'l'ler cheese?
You do know that cheese is preserved milk. Powdering it is like pickling beef jerkey.
