“I’ll have what she’s having.” Even if you haven’t seen When Harry Met Sally, there are two things synonymous with the movie that you might not even realize: this iconic quote (which has remained in our lexicon for more than 30 years since it premiered) and Katz’s Deli.
Located on the Lower East Side, Katz’s Deli is renowned for its thick deli sandwiches and a line that often wraps around the block. It’s one of the must-visit spots for anyone traveling to or living in NYC.
However, if you live in Chicago, you might be able to get your hands on Meg Ryan’s famous pastrami sandwich, for one day only.
Katz’s Delicatessen, the famous New York City restaurant, is coming to Chicago in collaboration with Windy City Smokeout, Chicago’s country music and BBQ festival, taking place in July.
Bub City will be hosting a pop-up with Katz’s Deli, where Chicagoans can enjoy the legendary Katz’s Pastrami Sandwich, along with pickles, steak frites, and their choice of Dr. Brown’s Soda, while enjoying live country music performances at Bub City throughout the day.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to win passes to Windy City Smokeout when they attend the pop-up. The collaboration between Windy City Smokeout and Katz’s Deli is sponsored by Consumers Packing Company, a family-owned and operated steak-cutting company based in the Chicagoland area since 1957.

The Katz’s Deli Chicago pop-up will take place on Wednesday, July 9, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event will be held at Bub City, located at 435 N. Clark Street.
