Guy Fieri Eats “World’s BEST” Pastrami Sandwich in Boston _ Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives _ Food Network

The Art of Sandwich Craft: A Masterclass with Boston's Best

Our culinary journey begins with the creation of a mouthwatering chipotle honey mustard, a perfect blend of spicy and sweet. We start by adding a generous amount of mustard to our mix, followed by a drizzle of honey, brown sugar, and a sprinkle of brown chipotle pepper. The result is a tangy and aromatic condiment that will elevate any sandwich to new heights.

As we move on to assemble the star of our show, the sandwich itself, we're joined by a team of experts who share their passion for creating the perfect combination of flavors and textures. Fresh cabbage, shredded carrots, granulated sugar, white vinegar, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and whole Cy seed parsley all find their way into the mix, along with a dollop of mayonnaise. The end result is a symphony of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds.

The sandwich itself takes center stage, featuring a generous slice of pastrami, perfectly seasoned with sugar rubs that add depth and complexity to each bite. The chipotle honey mustard plays the perfect supporting role, adding a spicy kick that complements the richness of the meat without overpowering it. As we take our first bites, the crunch of the Italian roll gives way to a fluffy interior, providing the perfect textural contrast to the tender pastrami.

But what truly sets this sandwich apart is its connection to the past. The team behind this culinary masterpiece has a deep understanding of traditional techniques and recipes that have been passed down through generations.
