Pastrami worth 2,000 pounds spoiled due to power outage at Bay Area restaurant.
A power outage caused by Tuesday's storm in Berkeley has forced Delirama, a popular sandwich shop, to discard 2,000 pounds of brisket used to make its famous pastrami sandwiches. The loss may cost the shop up to $100,000 in revenue. The shop is launching a GoFundMe page to help pay for the wasted pastrami and buy a commercial generator to keep the refrigerator online during any future outages. Delirama may not be able to remain open in the longer term, co-owner Cash Caris said.
