Pastrami Origami

The Word Behind the Dish

Why Pastrami?

Pastrami — from the Yiddish pastrame, borrowed from Romanian pastramă. Cured, spiced, smoked beef — the heart of the NYC Jewish deli. Brought to America by Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe in the late 1800s.

The word itself is a journey — Romania to Eastern Europe to Ellis Island to Katz's Deli on Houston Street.

Origami is the Japanese art of folding paper into shapes. We fold pastrami the same way — with intention, with precision, with respect for the craft.

Two cultures. One plate. Forty-eight hours of smoke.
