Scamorza from DiPalo in New York - I go through 2-3 balls a week

The Best Jewish Delis: What's Your Favorite?

Schwartz in Montreal has no competition. It is smoked meat, which is different from pastrami, but hard to describe it. You taste the beef and the spices much more. As an ex-Montrealer and a current New Yorker, I still go up to Montreal whenever I can. The rye bread is also fantastic, slightly crispy outside that I never had here in New York. Also btw, Montreal has the best bagels in the world - chewy and not doughy like the ones here - two places: St Viateur Bagel (La Maison de Bagel) and Fairmont close and second best (i know I digress)...Went to Rascals in Miami - absolutely horrible! No loss.

I have to disagree about Artie's. I've only eaten there once and the fries, hot dogs, and pastrami were all mediocre. It's nice to know the place is up on the UWS if necessary, but I'm definitely not putting it in the same category as Ben's Best, Sarge's, or Katz's. \

Okay, I'll admit that I've never shopped there, but this would be a good reason to start!

That'd have to be brie. Baked. Bliss.
I've admired the Zingerman's catalogue for years, but I've never gotten anything from them....but I'd really love to!

I'd have to say horseradish cheddar (though I'm also a big fan of brie and muenster).
