Togo’s: Pastrami Sandwich

Pastrami might be the perfect cut/curing of meat to ever wind up on this planet.  That’s why I was so excited when my best friend back home Kevin (my neighbor) texted me a picture of a pastrami sandwich he was having at that very moment.    This site is sorely missing a pastrami sandwich and Kevin’s the man to add one.  He was at Togo’s.  Togo’s is a sandwich chain that’s on the east and west coasts, but seems lost in the middle.  They’re on par with, say, a Quizno’s.  Not as pricey though.  Here’s what they advertise their pastrami sandwich as:

Damnit that looks good.  It’s prepared in a different way than my favorite pastrami sandwich…This is more traditional.  Traditional is great by my standards.  This looks like a hell of a good sandwich.  LOTS of pastrami, and lots of everything else.  I would eat that sandwich immediately.  But we know how advertising works.  We’ve seen it time and time again on this very site.  So it’s okay to be skeptical of the real outcome…

No skepticism needed.  Way to go, Togo’s.  Obviously my neighbor got it on a different type of bread.  Truth be told, that’s the bread I’d get it on too.  However, look at how well this sandwich is built and take a look at how much meat it’s loaded up with!  It’s crazy.

When I asked my neighbor for thoughts on it he says in person it looks even better than it does on the menu board.  That’s something I really appreciate.  It’s awesome when you get the product and are surprised by how it looks even BETTER than you’re hopes were.  He also wanted to make sure I noted that the bread was ‘soft and scrumptious’ (which is a weird word coming from him…Thus making the sandwich sound even MORE impressive) and that the amount of pastrami on the sandwich was plentiful.

When I asked him how many stars it deserved out of five, he said six.  But I can’t do that, so…
