During World War II, Katz’s Deli on the Lower East Side became famous for its slogan, “Send a salami to your boy in the army.” This would be Real Food for soldiers stuck with C-rations. The line was immortalized in the 1952 film At War with the Army, by Jerry Lewis.

I wrote this in May 2018, and I've been sitting on it for ages now. It's very much inspired by a specific, real thing. There's a famous deli in New York, Katz's, that has a sign: "Send a salami to your boy in the army!" They've definitely had it for ages. It's on their promotional signs. It's a Thing.
This lead to a question: Has anyone ever tried to send Steve a salami from Katz's?
Then, a better question: What was his reaction when Bucky did?

Katz’s Diner
I will be the first to hold my hand up and admit that the only reason I went to Katz’s Diner is because I am a HUGE When Harry Met Sally fan, it is literally one of the best Rom-Coms in history and I will not let anyone tell me differently and I simply had to eat in the diner that iconic scene was filmed in!
Katz’s was packed from the moment we entered, you have two choices when dinning at Katz’s, you can “self serve” which is when you queue at various numbers, order your food and then find yourself a seat or you can have wait staff, which the hostess told us was a 25 minute wait for a table.
We decided on waiting for the wait staff which, on this occasion was only around 10 minutes.
All the tables in Katz’s are communal, we were sat at a four with a couple who (like us) were clearly tourists, although (unlike us) spoke another language, so as we both got on with our respective conversations our waiter appeared and the only way I can possibly describe him is a human embodiment of a Ronald Dahl character brought to life by Quentin Blake’s illustration.
He seemed about ready to retire, with a friendly face, worn out uniform and the energy of a 30 year old (despite the face of someone more mature).
Where this energy came from I couldn’t tell you, because throughout the meal there were moments where I truly believed he was going to topple over. Unlike almost every other waiter who served us this gentleman stopped, asked us exactly what we wanted and diligently wrote our order down and read it back to us before he left our table. Be warned though, part of the fun of Katz’s is our protagonist of this story will spill your beer and the odd chip but that’s part of the fun!
There’s an energy in Katz’s that can’t be found anywhere else, from the staff that all resemble characters from my childhood books, to the people queuing for their sandwiches at the deli bar, as I write this I can almost hear the whoosh of the meat and cheese slicers and the babble of New Yorkers desperate for their sandwich to be made just how they like it!
Everything about Katz’s is simply glorious! The walls tell you a detailed story of the people who worked there and the many guests they’ve fed, a sign tells you just where Harry met Sally and their slogan of “send a salami to your boy in the army!” is plastered everywhere. You can even purchase various Katz’s T-shirts to memorialise the event.
Overall Katz’s has a vibrant, colourful atmosphere topped off perfectly with delicious food and cheery staff, if you have the time to go (and the patience to queue) you will thoroughly enjoy your meal.
What I ate:
Pastrami sandwich
Fries
Katz’s is famous for its pastrami, they make it themselves in store so you really must have a pastrami sandwich when you go there in fact, in my eyes, the only acceptable reasons not to have pastrami are:
1. you’re allergic to pastrami
2. You’re a vegetarian
3. You’re a vegan (darling, perhaps Katz’s is not the place for you)
Now if, sorry, when you order your pastrami sandwich you can add a range of things to it, onion, cheese, coleslaw, mayonnaise (the menu suggests mayo “at your peril”).
Now given how large these sandwiches are, my guest and I decided to split one, she also, kindly allowed me to add cheese and onion to the mix, while she ordered us a side of fries which just hit the spot. The fries or (as we say in London) chips, were thick and chunky (exactly the sort of chips you’d expect at your local fish and chip shop) yet fluffy and light inside. Each meal comes with complimentary pickles, which brought a smile to my face a spring to the step of my rumbling belly.
But really the crown jewel was the sandwich, now, I had never had pastrami before Katz’s but this sandwich was the work of a god, it was crafted to perfection, melting in your mouth! Your taste buds engulfed by the delicious meaty, peppery taste of heaven.
(Seriously my best sexual experience had nothing on this sandwich.)
Both my guest and I agreed that the cheese and onion was a great addition, marvelling at the glory of this sandwich, but, alas, as soon a we had tasted this slice of heaven it was gone.
The sandwiches may be large and in charge, but don’t let the size intimidate you, despite its mighty girth, this perfect example of a sandwich did not cause me to feel overstuffed, bloated or sick. Both my guest and I left Katz’s in a warm haze, shrouded in an afterglow that only the finest foodgasim can give you.
(My guest later told me she did not like pastrami, however deeply enjoyed the sandwich we had shared and that, her views had slightly changed on pastrami as a whole.)

Katz's Deli to offer a taste of a its famous menu _ by mail
Katz's Delicatessen has been urging customers to "send a salami to your boy in the Army" for generations. Now, the New York City restaurant, where everyone's favorite scene from When Harry Met Sally was shot, is expanding its shipping capacity so it can send perishable delicacies like pastrami and corned beef around the globe.The plan to offer a taste of authentic, old New York by mail is part of an ongoing effort by Katz's young owner to modernize a business that hasn't changed much since it was founded on Manhattan's Lower East Side in 1888. "I can't necessarily replicate the entire experience for you, wherever you are at home," said Jake Dell, 29.
South America has a strong passion for cured meats. The UK and Australia have been clawing out to us and just craving this food. But it's difficult and navigating those customs waters has been an eye-opening experience.
World War II and the business still ships salami
"Each time I'm in New York I have to visit at least once," said Yaakov Sabbagh, of Jerusalem.Would he order the food from home?" "If it comes to Israel, yes, definitely," he said.
Customers leaving the restaurant said they'd be in favor of global expansion.
