Wexler’s Deli was a popular Jewish Style Deli from California. Chef Wexler formally worked at Craft by Tom Colicchio and L’ATELIER de Joel Robuchon. The late restaurant critic Johnathan Gold wrote that Wexler’s O.G. Pastrami Sandwich was superb. Now all the Wexler Locations are gone and only a small Wexler’s Food Court Location remains. I read that Wexler’s is one of the few delis in anywhere that cures and smoked and also hand cut their own pastrami and lox. The tiny little Las Vegas location in the Proper Eats Food Hall also cures, smokes, and hand slices their own pastrami and lox and might also be the only deli in Las Vegas that does so.

We ordered our usual. We split a lox on an everything bagel and also split the OG Pastrami.

The lox and cream cheese has capers under the lox. It’s sliced masterfully thin and might be the finest lox sandwich that you can get in Vegas.

Today the pastrami is maybe a more generous serving than usual but also is more fatty. It’s masterfully tender but I think it is also flavored slightly different. It has more bark than the last couple times, maybe more fat, and is a brighter color. (I suspect a heavier amount of curing salt..) HOWEVER it is still one of the very best pastrami sandwiches anywhere.

Prior pastrami sandwiches did differ slightly.

Above was my first Wexler’s Pastrami Sandwich

They all were masterfully tender and delicious. The Lox and Cream Cheese must be the very best one in Vegas.

Worth a Fork!
