A substantial sandwich, consistent with a pastrami or corned beef on rye, is centered on a white, round ceramic plate. The sandwich is constructed with two slices of plain white bread, the top slice exhibiting a small, yellow mustard smear. The interior is densely packed with a thick, irregular stack of thinly sliced, reddish-pink meat. Multiple pieces of meat display dark, charred, and crusty edges, indicating a smoked preparation. A green object, likely a pickle spear, is partially visible on the plate to the right of the sandwich. The plate rests on a white, crinkled paper liner, which covers a light-colored wooden table surface. The background is blurred, showing the interior of a restaurant or delicatessen with dark wooden chairs featuring horizontal slats and additional table surfaces. This scene is characteristic of Katz's Delicatessen, located in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York City, United States.
