Smoked meat
A typical Schwartz dish is a smoked meat sandwich served on wheat bread with yellow mustard. Meat is served with fat content; lean, medium, medium-fat or fat. Medium and medium-fat is the most popular. According to journalist Bill Brownstein, Schwartz's classic food includes medium-fat sandwiches, French fries, half-sour pickles, coleslaw, red pepper, and black cherry soda.
A smoked meat fan argues whether Schwartz's or Bens (another local deli) has the best smoked meat sandwich. The thin thin slices of meat were piled high between the whole wheat bread, while Schwartz offered a thickly cut bacon plate. Bens has a long-trusted and widely-trusted advertising slogan that claims that the restaurant has created bacon, but this has been denied by cultural historians.
Montreal steak spice
Schwartz is also credited with creating Montreal steak flavor or spice steak of Montreal when Morris "The Shadow" Sherman, a broilerman who worked at Schwartz in the 1940s and 50s, start adding deli smoked spice pickled meat to ribs and liver steak yourself. It was so popular that it was copied by delis and other Montreal steakhouses.
