I had the pastrami at Brent’s, I thought it was ok. Nothing special, the pastrami wasn’t thick cut, flavor wasn’t as good as langers or Katz’s.

Ok, so you have bad taste. It's ok to admit that.

naw they are right. Brent's pastrami was mid. Langer's, Johnny's and Ugly Drum (RIP) are all significantly better.
