Here is everything you need to know about the exciting food news.
First-Ever Pastrami and Corned Beef Combo Pack
Carnegie Deli is launching its first-ever Pastrami and Corned Beef Combo Pack exclusively in stores at select Costco locations across the northeast, just in time for the corned beef-centric holiday. It includes pre-sliced corned beef, cured and simmered until juicy and tender, and the deli's signature New York Pastrami, brined, seasoned, and smoked using a secret family recipe.

Founded in New York City in 1937
If you aren't familiar with Carnegie Deli, it was founded in New York City in 1937 and is a cultural icon, favored by celebrities, and featured in many movies about the Big Apple. As for the reference to Woody Allen, it was one of the actor's go-to spots when he was struggling early on in his career. There is even a pastrami and corned beef sandwich named after him. "I used to eat at the Carnegie long before I became a comedian because the food was delicious, and in those days, I had no fear of eating corned beef, pastrami or any other things that now I feel would destroy my life," he told The Post about the Big Apple landmark, which served up its last meal in 2016. "It was a great place to sit around and talk with other comedy writers," Allen said.
Don't Forget These 'Secret Steals'
Savvy Costco shoppers know the warehouse chain offers great bulk deals, but some products stand out as secret steals that provide exceptional value. Members rave about the Normandy-Style Vegetable Blend, Quaker Oats Old Fashioned Oatmeal, and Kirkland Signature Organic Quinoa as budget-friendly pantry staples.
