"I can't answer a 'favorite food' question without putting a pastrami sandwich from Katz's Deli first. The best Katz's memory of all was probably a night out with my sister years ago where we were both all dressed up for some random party... and, on our way to whatever lounge, we were kind-of like, f**k it, we don't even like these people, we just want to go to Katz's... and we had the BEST TIME EVER.
