At Ben's Kosher Delicatessen, avocado toast with pastrami combines toasted bread spread with avocado and topped with slices of deli pastrami, bringing together brunch and classic Jewish deli elements.[18] The twist of adding pastrami sets this version apart from typical vegetarian toasts, offering a smoky, savory counterpoint to the smooth avocado.[18] Eating it gives a layered experience, where the crunch of toast meets the richness of avocado and the chew and seasoning of cured meat, making the dish feel closer to an open-faced sandwich.[18][21] Photos and write-ups note that the dish plays into the restaurant’s strength in deli meats while still nodding to modern brunch trends.[18]
