Kimchi Pastrami Melt
October 6th, 2009
The heart of this special is caramelizing the pastrami and kimchi together to develop a deep flavor and then press it on the grill with some cheese. We then top it with 1st picked persimmons and arugula and a small dash of sesame mayo for this tasty melt.


To cleanse the palate we also pair this sandwich with our traditional Korean spicy pickle.

This looks amazing! Somehow I have a feeling, just by looking at it that it will develop a cult following just as the Pinapple Chicken Torta did! Persimmons…nice! Well I will be off to Alfie to try it out tonight…I’ll give ya a review afterwards!

This sammie was everything it looks to be and more! A classic deli pastrami with a little Kogi twist. I like how you didn’t try to reinvent the wheel and just put a fresh touch on an american favorite. Kimchi was a perfect addition to the Pastrami and not overpowering. the persimmons and arugula were fresh and tasty….this one could defintly give the The Hat or Johnnies a run for their money!

I had it on Friday and it was sooo good. Best Pastrami ever.
My one recommendation would be to use a crustier bread. Something to stand up to the very juicy pastrami. My sandwich was a bit waterlogged.
