Many thanks to our friends at !
When we're feeling New Yorkish, we head for this long-time deli on the south side, which features such delights as the Rachel (corned beef and turkey, melted Swiss, coleslaw on rye) and the Rebecca (pastrami, cream cheese, and smoked turkey with Russian dressing on egg bread). We accompany it with an imported beer or the featured wineby the glass, and we always save room for a slice of the to-die-for Key lime pie. Beer & wine. $
Decisions, decisions... How to choose between the Rachel (a mound of corned beef and turkey, melted Swiss, coleslaw, and Russian dressing on rye) and the Rebecca (layers of pastrami, cream cheese, and smoked turkey with Russian dressing on egg bread)? The solution for many patrons of this longtime Southside deli is to divide them between you and a friend. Just save room for the to-die-for chocolate meringue pie. Beer & wine. Open Mon-Sat 9-3. Closed Sun. Cash or checks only. $
True, it's not your all-American hot dog, but we think the hot pastrami sandwich at Carshon's is an equally patriotic way to celebrate the Fourth. Followed by a slice of chocolate meringue pie, it's a perfect all-season lunch.
With the perils of winter behind us, made bearable by flu shots and the curative powers of the chicken soup served at this perennial fave, we declare it open season on their hot pastrami sandwich. Paired with a California chardonnay and followed by a slice of chocolate meringue pie, it's a perfect all-weather lunch.
Far removed from the world of messy chicken wings and burgers, this old-time deli continues to build the superb, two-fister hot pastrami on rye that has attracted crowds for decades. Paired with a chilled beer, it's all a body could want.

A nip in the air threatened an onslaught of the sniffles, which sent us scurrying to our favorite neighborhood deli for a bowl of chicken noodle soup. A hot pastrami sandwich and a cold imported beer (for medicinal purposes only, of course) warded off any other ailments.

New energy-saving light bulbs brighten the turn-of-the-century look of our favorite neighborhood deli. No change though in the Ruthie, a third of a pound of hot pastrami topped with sauerkraut and melted Swiss on rye. A cold Shiner Bock was the perfect accompaniment.

Our friend's chopped liver on grilled egg bread solicited almost as many raves as his slice of chocolate meringue pie.
When you're in the mood for a comforting bowl of chicken noodle soup and a delicious hot pastrami sandwich, this is the only place to go. Period. Sure, Fort Worth's favorite deli offers much more, but old habits are hard to change. Nice selection of imported beers and wine by the glass.

Desperate for a hot pastrami fix, we headed for our favorite deli, only to be distracted by a new offering: a create-your-own plate lunch. Pick three-lox, potato salad, slaw, chicken liver, cheeses, fresh fruit-and enjoy. It will be hard, but save room for one of the outstanding chocolate desserts.

Atkins dieters can visit this venerable neighborhood deli for either the corned beef or the pastrami with melted Swiss. And if they're feeling naughty, have some chocolate pudding cake to boot.

Atkins-dieters can visit this venerable neighborhood deli and latch on with impunity to either the corned beef or the pastrami with melted Swiss. If you're out of the diet's strict induction phase, a cold imported pilsner is the perfect accompaniment. And if you want to be naughty, try an exceptional dessert like homemade meringue pie or some chocolate pudding cake.
Not requiring the curative powers of the chicken noodle soup, we opted for the Ruthie-corned beef, coleslaw, turkey, and Russian dressing on rye. A glass of the day's featured Chardonnay paired nicely, but the combination left no room for the chocolate meringue pie.
After 75 years of practice, the popular South Side deli has mastered the art of sandwich making. We recommend the Reuben, with one-third of a pound of corned beef, or the Rachel, with layers of turkey, corned beef, melted Swiss, and coleslaw drizzled with Russian dressing on whole wheat.

A bit under the weather, we sought out the magical, curative powers of the chicken noodle soup served at this neighborhood deli. For good measure we backed it up with a sandwich of hot pastrami, thinly sliced and piled high on rye and sided with an imported German beer.

We completed the treatment with a not-too-modest slice of Carshon's killer chocolate meringue pie.
To satisfy a hot pastrami craving, we headed to our favorite deli, where they pile it so high between the slices of rye that you can hardly manage a bite. Indulge yourself with a slice of the heavenly chocolate pie topped smile-high with meringue. Extensive list of domestic and imported beers.

It is certainly enough for lunch, but indulge yourself with a slice of the heavenly chocolate pie topped smile-high with meringue. Extensive list of domestic and imported beers.
Some folks depend upon flu shots. We prefer the magical homemade chicken soup at this popular southside Kosher-style deli. If you feel like branching out beyond lox and cream cheese, try the pastrami, corned beef, or pickled herring. Don't miss out on the homemade pies and cheesecakes. Of course, a glass of wine or imported beer always makes for a good dose of medicine too.

Since the early fifties, southsiders have relied on this neighbourhood deli to quell their hot-pastrami flashes and provide magical homemade chicken-noodle soup to cure their summer-cold sniffles. Just to be safe, you might want to have both and wash it all down with one of the two dozen imported beers. World-class chocolate meringue pie awaits unquenchable appetites.
What's all the fuss with these new bagel shops? This south side kosher-style deli has been serving bagels with lox and cream cheese since the fifties; recently it's consented to doll them up with, say, salami, poached eggs and melted Swiss. Sorry, no passion fruit, pumpkin or barberry bagel flavors available.

We were a tad early (9:30 a.m.) for our favorite hot pastrami sandwich at this ever-popular, kosher-style deli, so instead we succumbed to a platter of eggs scrambled with corn beef and onions, a "MacBagel" (two poached eggs atop melted Swiss and salami on a toasted bagel) and bottomless cups of coffee.
In Zagat's America's Best Meal Deals, this south side deli ranked among the top six delis in America for value, something Cowtowners have known more than 70 years. We recommend an up-close-and-personal encounter with one of Carshon's hot pastrami sandwiches.

A case of sniffles caused us to forgo our usual hot pastrami on rye in favor of the restorative chicken noodle soup; we felt better immediately, and a glass of Cabernet further prompted a positive attitude.

Post-holiday sniffles caused us to forgo our usual hot pastrami on rye in favor of the restorative chicken noodle soup; we felt better immediately, and a glass of Cabernet further prompted a positive attitude. Next time we'll return to stauncher deli fare and a piece of the scrumptious chocolate meringue pie.
The substantial breakfast at the city's favorite deli can carry you right through lunch. Take, for example, eggs tastily scrambled with onion and corned beef, then sided with tomato slice, a lettuce leaf and a bagel with cream cheese. Pair this with a bottomless cup of cup of coffee, and you're set for the day.

Jewish mothers could take a chicken-noodle-soup lesson from this cozy neighbourhood deli. For customers not in need of hot restorative, there is a mind-boggling array of traditional deli lunches and sandwiches.

Savvy south-siders gravitate to this neighborhood deli around midday, and—with such attractions as homemade chili, chicken noodle soup or any number of sandwiches—it's no wonder. Hot meats or cold cuts come heaped on rye, pumpernickel, whole wheat, egg bread or bagels; wash your sandwich down with wine or an imported or domestic beer. Save room for chocolate meringue or Key lime pie.
The lush chocolate meringue pie at this popular south side kosher-style deli is enough reason to show up. We recommend, however, preparing oneself for the pie with a hot pastrami sandwich or corned beef on rye accompanied by one of the two dozen imported beers or a glass of the daily special wine. Other traditional sandwiches and cold or hot plate combinations are available, all sized for the famished.
Whether you are in need of a hot pastrami fix or the curative powers of homemade chicken soup, you won't find a better place for it than this reliable south side deli. Lots of other delicious, kosher-style sandwiches and plate lunches are available, plus wine and two dozen imported beers. Save room for the fabulous chocolate meringue pie (if they have any left).
One-third pound of corned beef and turkey covered with melted Swiss, coleslaw and Russian dressing on grilled rye, AKA the Rachel, is a typical creation at this south side neighbourhood deli. When paired with one of the two dozen beers available, then finished off with a slice of "Betty's Internationally Famous" chocolate meringue pie, it will leave you more than ready for a nap. Other kosher-style foods are available to eat there or take out.
Ah, pastrami! Cholesterol-free it isn't, but our physiology nevertheless occasionally demands one of the world-class Reuben sandwiches that they build at this kosher-style deli: a third pound of peppery meat crowned with melted Swiss and sauerkraut on grilled rye. It's fabulous wit beer (Saint Puali Girl, Texas Bluebonnet, and Pecan Street among the impressive selection). There are other sandwiches and soups to choose from, but save room for chocolate meringue pie.
The hot pastrami at this New York-style deli on Fort Worth's near south side are world-class. Other stellar sandwiches include corned beef, salami, chicken or turkey with tasty additions of melted Swiss, coleslaw or sauerkraut. Chicken noodle soup has appropriate curative powers.
The hot pastrami sandwiches with sauerkraut on rye at this south side neighbourhood deli are so good that we regretted our resolve to come early one Sunday for brunch. Regrets floated away, however, when our order of eggs scrambled with corned beef and sautéed onions arrive, with a steaming cup of hot coffee. Our friend's "McBagel" (fried eggs with salami on toasted bagel halves smothered with melted Swiss) was equally delicious. A side order of toast, cream cheese and jelly seemed superfluous but was too good to pass up. Next time: the chili omelet.
