Would you pay $27 right now if you could have this exact sandwich fresh from this place tonight for dinner? I think I would.

Depends. Is it cat or dog?
Just go to Ohio where apparently, those types of sandwiches are free.
Katz' is worth every penny and it costs more than $27
Haven't seen that much roast beef and cheese since last night at OP's mom's house.
I've eaten at Katz's Deli before. It was really good. So yeah, I'd certainly eat that sandwich.
IMO, it's not over priced. The full sandwich is more than enough for 2 if you're ordering anything else.
Last time I was there we ordered the pastrami, a half turkey, mazo ball soup and a hot dog. We were a 3 top, and nobody left hungry.
The pickles were outstanding as well.

To paraphrase Samuel L. Jackson, that sandwich may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'll never know because I ain't eating it.
$27. For one sandwich. Sheesh, if I had to I could eat for a week on $27.

Yes, and there’s at least $15-20 worth of pastrami on there.
That would feed two people. So $13.5 each for that seems worth it.
Well if I HAD to I could eat a box of dried spaghetti and a little butter every day, but that isn't exactly a long-term sustainable plan if you have any health goals, unless you have access to a robust and productive garden, and meat/fish you harvested yourself from hunting/fishing.
It's mostly the experience at that point, more than the price. Obviously if you're on a fixed income you should probably avoid it, but if you can afford it, take the plunge. There will always be more money and you can't take it all with you.

I never cease to be amazed at Iowans being so cheap they deny themselves the occasional treat on general fiscal principle.
I've often admitted here, I'm the poorest bastard on this board. But even in my best money years, rarely spent a lot of money on single meals. Just not my style is all. And besides, my restaurant years I ate very very well. I've had my "day in the sun" when it comes to great food and eating out.
As I've aged...just not that much of a priority any more.

I'm not judging, just always amazed. My wealthy FIL was this way about the weirdest things.
I'll never forget him absolutely SCREAMING at me to jump up and recover a $10 bait bucket that the wind was blowing off his dock at his Marco Island home before it blew away. As I'm running past the $75,000 boat moored next to the dock, the absurdity of the situation struck me.
"I just BOUGHT THAT!" he said when I returned.
LOL
ive had that sandwich many times, id pay more than $27 for it right now although i still say manny's deli is better.
None on it. That’s Russian dressing.

Yep. I noticed that also. The bread did not move as the knife glided thru it.
My (no pics) wife and I went there a few years ago before I went vegan. We skipped the sandwich and ordered a tray full of the pastrami. It was legit.
Katz's deli. Thought I would add this to the discussion, which I think you all will appreciate.
$27 seems like a steal TBH. There is 4× more meat on there than any $15 sandwich at 90% of restaurants. I couldn't eat more than half that thing, probably less than half.
I don't think so, Manny's is always too dry imo. The potato pancake at Manny's is impossible to beat though.
