Yeah, the Times had a photo, too. We'd probably think of it as
griddle-fried ham or Canadian Bacon on a roll.

They did mention using "streaky bacon". Isn't that "American" bacon?

the UK, but it probably isn't the monstrosity you routinely get at
Katz's Deli. I'm not sure where, in the meat-to-bread ratio, a bacon
butty falls. >>>

Why are you calling this a "monstrosity"? I thought there was only  
two Katz' delis. The original one here in Austin and one his son  
opened up in Houston. They've never sounded like a chain, although  
they do talk a lot about their food being New York style. Is there a  
NY Katz's deli the one here is based on?

And I like the Katz' deli corned beef sandwich, although I like their  
Rueben even better.
