In Pursuit of Pastrami: Discovering the 7 Rye Wonders of the World  

Hey, DudeFoodie fans! Today, I’m taking you on a flavor journey to Feldman’s Deli, a little New York-style Jewish Deli gem hidden in the quaint neighborhood of Sugar House, near Parley’s Canyon. Ready to dive into a world where deli dreams come true? Let’s roll!

The Dish on the Dishes: Not Just a Deli, It’s a Delight!

  • The Sloppy Joe – Not Your Mom’s everyday Joe: Feldman’s Sloppy Joe is a behemoth of flavor, towering with a ½ lb of house-made shaved corned beef and pastrami, separated by a strategic third slice of bread. Thousand Island dressing and coleslaw (which, trust me, even the most steadfast coleslaw skeptics will adore) crown this masterpiece, all nestled within slices of the most extraordinary house-made Jewish rye you’ve ever tasted.

This Jewish deli rye boasts a subtle, earthy warmth, complemented by a hint of caraway that dances on your taste buds. It’s not just a carrier for the sandwich fillings; it’s an essential character in this flavorful narrative. Made from scratch, with a crust that sings a little crunch and a heart that’s tender and chewy, it’s the kind of bread that makes you understand why the simplest ingredients, when handled with care and expertise, can create something truly magical.

  • The East Side Sloppy Joe – The Uptown Cousin: it’s a celebration of juicy turkey paired flawlessly with rich roast beef. It’s an inviting departure from the norm, elegantly dressed in a lavish coat of Thousand Island and a coleslaw tiara, all cradled within the heavenly embrace of Feldman’s famous rye. This Sloppy Joe went to college uptown – it’s got style, pizzazz, and a juicy turkey heart that beats with flavorful flair. Get ready to be charmed by its uptown feel and down-to-earth deliciousness!
  • The Rachel – Sloppy’s Chic Sibling If you’re in the mood for something that won’t challenge your jaw’s reach, The Rachel is your go-to. It’s like a Sloppy Joe that went to finishing school – same great taste, but a bit more… manageable.
  • Fantasy Fries Let’s talk fries. These are the golden, crispy, perfectly seasoned wonders that all other fries aspire to be. They’re a top contender for Utah’s best and trust me, your mouth will thank you.

DudeFoodie’s Experience: A Symphony of Sandwiches and More!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (10/10)

Feldman’s isn’t just top of my recommendations list; it’s a sandwich epiphany waiting to happen. The Sloppy Joe? A masterpiece of meat. The Rachel? A delightful dance of flavors. And those fries? Let’s just say I’ve had dreams about them. My recent visit with my wife introduced me to their matzo ball soup – and, folks, it was a revelation. I’m a tough critic with soggy foods, but this soup changed the game. Oh, and a special shoutout to their fry sauce with a hint of pickle relish – it’s like a sweet little kiss in every bite.
