I've not eaten the pastrami at Chompie's, but I asked because other
things I've ordered there were rather good. I usually order a hot
brisket sandwich or brisket dinner(not corned). I have eaten their
corned beef which is passable, but not great. Of all the things I miss
in AZ, good deli's are near the top of the list.
