After finishing an interview, I had lunch alone near Seoul National University Entrance. The place I went to was Daily Fix Seoul National University Entrance. I paired my first-ever pastrami sandwich with chili cheese fries and beer. There was plenty of meat, but what I especially loved was the combination of the chewy top and bottom buns with ranch sauce. Even with the sides, it was a seriously satisfying solo meal.

To give you the conclusion first: I completely fell for pastrami on my very first try.

Inside, yellow seating is set against wooden walls and tables. The colors are so bold that I kept taking photos even before the food arrived.

I came to a handmade-burger place, but my main choice that day was the pastrami sandwich. Since it was my first time trying pastrami, I was curious what it would be like. Pastrami is smoked meat seasoned with spices, said to have roots in the meat-cooking traditions of southeastern Europe, including Romania. It became established in the United States through the food culture of Eastern European Jewish immigrants and is known as a classic deli item.

*A pastrami sandwich with plenty of meat visible between the bread*

Even while taking photos, I thought the actual portion looked pretty huge. The meat peeking out from between the bread had a real presence from the start. Once I picked it up with one hand, I knew this was not going to be a light lunch.

*The sandwich thickness is even clearer when held in hand*

## Chewy bread and ranch sauce I remembered as much as the meat

Both the top and bottom were wonderfully chewy when I bit in. I expected the meat to be the star, but as I ate, I kept noticing the bread too.

*White sauce added between the bread and meat*

With the ranch sauce added, the combination was so good. I liked it more when the bread and meat came together in one bite than when they felt separate. If I had to name just two things I fell for that day, they would be the chewy bread and the ranch sauce.

*A cross-section showing the layered fillings*

Seeing the cross-section made it clear why it felt so substantial. Thin layers of meat fill the space between the bread. If pastrami tastes this good on a first try, I think I will naturally seek it out again. Before eating, I thought I should try another burger next time, but while eating, I started thinking I might order this sandwich again. It was the kind of deliciousness that already had me wondering about my next order.

## Chili cheese fries with beans: a side that means business

![Fries generously covered with cheese and chili](https://img.superchart.com/images/snu-pastrami-sandwich-dailyfix/snu-pastrami-sandwich-dailyfix-16-ybmq7-966.webp)
*Fries topped generously with cheese and chili*

The chili cheese fries were a side dish in name only. There was a generous layer of cheese and chili over the fries, and next to the main, it filled the whole table. Together with the sandwich, it was a very generous combination for one person.

*A close-up showing beans in the chili*

What I especially liked was that the chili contained beans. It did not feel like fries with just a little cheese and sauce on top; it felt like getting a generous serving of chili itself. By my standards, I was thinking, “This is the real deal, isn’t it?”

*A bite of fries with chili and cheese*

Whenever I picked up a fry, I made sure to get some chili and cheese with it. Alternating bites of sandwich and fries, every item on the table played its part. This was a side I liked for both the portion and the flavor.

## Why I even finished the carrots I do not usually eat

*Celery, carrots, and the accompanying sauce*

I also ordered veggie sticks. They came with celery and carrots, which were nice to have alongside the meat and fries. That day, I really enjoyed the vegetables too.

The carrots were especially surprising. I do not usually eat carrots much, but here I finished every last one. I do not know whether it was the sauce or the carrots themselves, but they suited my taste so well that day. The celery was good too, and since I cleared the carrots as well, this meal satisfied me right down to the vegetables. If I had ordered only the sandwich and fries, I would have missed this little pleasure.

## Interview-mode shirt, brief break-mode lunch

I was wearing a shirt that day because I had just come from an interview. Drinking beer at lunch dressed like that somehow made me think of those daytime-beer scenes in comics. It felt like briefly living on a different schedule from an office worker’s lunchtime, maybe? Looking only at my shirt, I seemed like I should still be nervous, but I had a Budweiser in my hand. I put thoughts of the interview down for a moment and focused on the sandwich in front of me.

*A sandwich in one hand, beer in the other*

In the end, I drank two bottles of Budweiser. The food was so plentiful that I found myself eating slowly and having it alongside the meal. Lunch after the interview turned into a more satisfying meal than I expected.

## A place that makes me want to return for another burger

*The end of a meal with the sandwich, fries, and vegetables all finished*

The empty plates seem to tell the story of the day on their own. I finished everything: the pastrami sandwich, chili cheese fries, and even carrots I do not normally eat. If you want a hearty sandwich while eating alone near Seoul National University Entrance, use my order combination as a reference. Still, the amount was considerable for one person, so choose your sides according to your usual appetite. I want to come back and try another burger next time. If my first visit was this good, I cannot help being curious about the other menu items.
