"A South Side icon and one of the city's oldest Jewish delis that celebrated its 80th birthday with a party attended by Gov. J.B. Pritzker. To mark the milestone the deli unveiled a new pastrami sandwich called the 80, which uses smoked brisket; the longtime owner, Dan Raskin, notes that although the cure is the same, the original pastrami—made from beef navel and oven-cooked—has a distinct flavor from the new smoked-brisket version." - Naomi Waxman
