Milton Parker, Pastrami King of the Carnegie Deli, Dies

Save the Deli reported yesterday that Carnegie Deli owner Milton Parker died on Friday. He was 90-years-old. His business card once read “Milton Parker, CPM (Corned beef and pastrami maven).” The restaurant is known for making the biggest pastrami sandwich imaginable; in December, the Serious Eats Lab Team conducted a study that revealed a single Carnegie Deli sandwich could be used to make 5 normal sandwiches.

The initial news of the legendary 2nd Avenue Deli’s reincarnation led us to stockpile Lipitor as visions of pastrami, chopped liver and gribenes danced through our heads. And when we feasted our eyes on the sneak preview of this fresser’s paradise, we could hardly wait to go and devour more of the menu.
