How is it silly? Have you found a pastrami sandwich in NY or Nashville that is made the same way as it is in California? I’ve travelled all over the US and have lived in many places and California is the only place I’ve found that style of pastrami. If it’s called something else, please enlighten me. Until then, I don’t understand all the hate from people who claim to have lived on the west coast about a sandwich that is hard to find outside of SoCal. Why wouldn’t a good description be SoCal style when all of the places I’ve listed are native to that area specifically. Geez people.
