    @southeast, I hear you about the prices, but in the local stores in this area, higher-end deli meats tend to sell for closer to $27-28/lb already, and that is mass-produced and not smoked. I don't know about Seamless, but I doubt it, at least not at first. They are a pretty small operation and I don't think they have the manpower quite yet.

    @dl - I think I am going to have to disagree with you on the price of deli meats.  Fresh cut pastrami/cornedbeef brisket cold cuts go for about for 17-18/lb in House of Glatt, Empire Kosher, and The Marketplace.  I am not sure which other stores you may be thinking of.  Pre-packaged are even cheaper.  

    Izzy definitely deserves a premium, but I feel that more than double is a little excessive.  With that being said, I will still enjoy his meats; albeit, not often as I would have liked.

    I'm hoping they get seamless as soon as possible.  I will mention it on my first visit.

    Just went to The Marketplace's website (notably, one of the more expensive places to shop in CH)...

    So I had the chance to go twice over the last week or so.  Sooo good!!!  Highly recommended, particularly if you don't mind jostling a bit for your food as the place is quite small and packed.  Once you get a seat, you should be fine though.

    I had the chance to chat with Izzy.  He was not expecting this type of demand and is thinking of ways to expand.

    You can still get reservations for Thursday (http://izzyssmokehouse.com/products/thursday-july-16-reservation?variant=3582711428).  I'm not sure, but you may be able to just drop in to pick up something to go; I would email to confirm.  

    I haven't confirmed, but I think they will be closed for about a week and a half starting Friday.
