But when it comes to finding the best sandwich shops in America, a new study claims that one joint from the Empire State is worthy of national recognition.

Why New York Has One of America's Best Delis

For those craving a Reuben, BLT, Buffalo chicken sandwich, or just a good grilled cheese are in luck.

A report of the nation's finest sandwich shops was just released and one New York establishment made the cut. It was also named the best sandwich shop in the state.

Chowhound released its annual findings and honored Katz's Delicatessen, a traditional New York City sandwich shop that's been serving food since 1888. Those who've grabbed a bite there rave about the pastrami on rye, which remains its most popular dish.

The restaurant even earned approval from Anthony Bourdain, whose stamp of approval was among the most highly sought after honors in the food industry.

While its lines may be long, it's best to show up very hungry at the counter because Katz's is also known for stuffing their sandwiches to the gills. Having big, hearty portions is among the most important qualities of a good deli - and Katz's seemingly delivers every time.

Do you agree Katz's Deli is not only the best in New York, but in all of America?
