According to Sax, &#8220;Los Angeles is the example to the rest of the nation of how a deli can ultimately stay relevant.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>New Yorker foodies, were, of course outraged.

Native New Yorker Nora Ephron, who went on record in the pages of The New Yorker that Langer&#8217;s serves the best pastrami in America, finally did a side-by-side taste-off between Langer&#8217;s and Katz&#8217;s, the iconic New York deli to quiet East Coast sore losers.
