A Professional Eat Off At Katz's Deli Anyone?

Born on the Lower East Side in 1888, with its famous old signs such as "Send a salami to your boy in the army" and the window display of thank-you letters from former U.S. presidents, Katz's Deli has repeatedly earned the moniker of most authentic New York deli.

You'll find people from all walks of life here enjoying enormous sandwiches, hot dogs, sauerkraut, and all sorts of crowd-pleasing favorites. Jane and Michael Stern praise Katz's in "Road Food" as the quinessential New York experience, which continually wows tourists and real New Yorkers alike.

I like the quaint old school ticket system, which you get punched depending on what you order.

Call me a light eater, but I only made it half way through the delicious roast beef sandwich, sour pickle,and fries. I bet Bill Clinton probably wolfed down two of those.
