High on Rye: Chicago’s First Cannabis-Infused Mustard for National Pastrami Day

High on Rye documents Ivy Hall’s collaboration with Steingold’s Deli to create Chicago’s first cannabis-infused mustard, developed for a classic pastrami sandwich.

Ivy Hall Dispensary has partnered with Chicago institution Steingold’s Deli to introduce High on Rye, a limited-edition pastrami sandwich featuring Ivy Hall x Steingold’s Cannabis-Infused Mustard. Created to celebrate National Pastrami Day, the collaboration marks the debut of Chicago’s first cannabis-infused mustard.

The one-day offering will be available on January 14, 2026, exclusively at Ivy Lounge Consumption Tent at Ivy Hall Logan Square (3115 W. Armitage Ave., Chicago, IL 60647). The infused mustard contains 5 milligrams of cannabis per serving and will be available to adults 21 and over, beginning at 12:00 p.m., while supplies last.

“Chicago has a deep love for its food traditions, and pastrami is one of those classics,” said Jonny Boucher, Director of Marketing at Ivy Hall. “Partnering with Steingold’s allows us to celebrate that heritage while creating something unexpected that still respects what makes the sandwich great.”

Developed in collaboration with Steingold’s culinary team, the cannabis-infused mustard was designed to complement the flavors of a traditional pastrami sandwich without overpowering them. The result is a familiar deli profile paired with a measured, balanced infusion.

“Steingold’s is about honoring tradition while having fun with food,” said Aaron Steingold, Founder of Steingold’s Deli. “This collaboration allowed us to experiment creatively while staying true to what makes a great pastrami sandwich.”

What to Expect at High on Rye

The High on Rye activation brings together food, cannabis, and local culture through a one-day experience featuring:

  • A limited-edition Ivy Hall x Steingold’s High on Rye pastrami sandwich with cannabis-infused mustard
  • A side of Chicago-made Local Style Chips
  • Complimentary refreshments from Dark Matter Coffee
  • An on-site Ivy Hall consumption lounge
  • Product showcases and a live vinyl DJ set

The first 100 customers will receive a High on Rye Pastrami Kit, which includes a Steingold’s sandwich and Local Style Chips voucher, a sample of the infused mustard, and Ivy Hall merchandise, while supplies last.

High on Rye builds on Ivy Hall’s previous culinary collaborations, including its Pi Day pizza partnership with Paulie Gee’s, and reflects the company’s continued focus on celebrating Chicago’s food culture through local partnerships.
