NYC Food Fight | Why Don't We Eat More Pastrami?

Welcome back to Food Fights for episode #4. This time we're in the heart of the East Village in NYC to look at two historic local delicacies: a pastrami sandwich from Katz's Deli and a smorgasbord of pierogies from Veselka. Big thanks to Large for helping us set up the contest. I don't know if I trust anyone's opinion as much as I do with his takes on food. Bonafide expert. 

Also big thanks to Cons and WSD for being complete natural meatheads. These guys didn't hesitate to take it personally the second we got into the taxi and long before the cameras started rolling. And as luck would have it, there will be a 2nd video out next week from Tompkins Square Park. Turns out these two couldn't leave without settling the food debate with a "who can throw this deflated football the farthest" contest. Two sore rotator cuffs later and you can imagine how that one ends up. Stay tuned for that.

Finally, this week is personally notable because it's the first video I've made for Barstool on my own. I want to do more videos but that means being able to know what the fuck is going on. So I've been doing the YouTube tutorials and chipping away at a bush league skillset. The goal is to be competent enough to make stuff in real-time independently. Who knows if I end up getting there but this is a big first step for me and I wanted to share that. More video content inbound.
