For the record, I have been to the Carnegie Deli in NYC a couple of 
times. I tried to re-create that sandwich (having had it at Old Ebbitt) 
and boy, was that a mistake! Ask for cheese and you get an entire slab of 
12 or 15 slices, on top of the five-inch stack of pastrami. Great for 
show, perhaps, but not exactly edible. On my second visit, I stuck with 
breakfast stuff.

I'm not giving the place a thumbs-down based on this experience, mind you 
-- I'm sure I could have done quite well with a different order.
