Best naked pastrami sandwich
The Hot Pastrami
Its big, its greasy, its hot, and its naked. If you like your pastrami sandwich purist-style--condiment- and vegetable-free--make a pilgrimage to The Hot Pastrami, where theyve served it up the same way for 30 years. The hole-in-the-walls namesake dish consists of juicy hot pastrami on a French roll, period. Pickles, peppers and chips are served on the side. If you try to defile the standard by asking for lettuce, tomato or onion, expect the server to, at a minimum, indignantly roll his or her eyes. We prefer to put it on the side, explained Missy, whos worked as a waitress at the landmark for five years. The antithesis to have it your way fast-food campaigns and a throwback to the days of no substitutions menus, The Hot Pastrami relies on taste and not on gratuitous customer accommodation.

The Hot Pastrami RIP (Sacramento)
Went by the Hot Pastrami (on Auburn Blvd near Watt)for a lunch sandwitch and was sorry to learn they are closed. They had a great Pastrami sandwitch, draft beer, pickle and chips for about 5 bucks. I'll miss it. -RIP-
Though he is a bit off on the price.

** "I live a couple of miles from here,"my lunch pal Mike was saying as we stood in front of the Hot Pastrami diner, eying the sign that read, "Cash only."
"It's great to do some yard work on a summer day, then come here for a pastrami sandwich and a pitcher of beer,"he sighed.
Ah, it's the little pleasures in life that help see us

That's it for the pastrami
Colorful Auburn Boulevard sandwich joint serves up its last
Published on July 16, 2005, Page B2, Article 2 of 175 found, 847 words.
** The pastrami sandwiches at the Hot Pastrami on Auburn Boulevard were indeed hot, a Bee investigation has found.
Hot from the horseradish of unusual power, which, on occasion, proved too tough for weak-bellied customers to hold down.
Hot from the sweltering old building, which sometimes led the cook to sweat salt streaks onto his shirt.
And hot from the spicy sass of the swearing, smoking hostess, Janet Morgan
The salt thing was very true, wearing dark shirts in summer was very bad if I didn't want it showing.

Hot Pastrami kept patrons happy for decades; other sites can wow you now
Published on July 29, 2005, Page TK42, Article 3 of 175 found, 823 words.
** The name "Hot Pastrami"sounds like a dance craze from the Roaring Twenties, but it was really a restaurant that stood on Auburn Boulevard for 34 years. The scene there could easily have been the setup for a sitcom, sort of "Cheers"meets "Zoo Parade."
The HP closed on July 16, leaving fond memories among its loyal clientele of being verbally abused and generally disrespected by the owners.
Abused yes, disrespected no. They gave as good as they got.

P.S. I really think you should reopen The Hot Pastrami under the name of Son of Hot Pastrami. Seriously.
And my arteries clogged just glancing at those.
