I can not comment on other places but several places in Ogden ~30
miles North of Salt Lake had pastrami burgers when I was a wee lad
(born 1964, the girls serving were on roller skates too, last and only
place I ever saw that when it was not a gimmick).

I believe the place was called "basil's blue onion" but I was maybe 10
when they closed and all they had was burgers, shakes, fries.

The high school hang out "Warrens" (http://bit.ly/3SxGSg) claimed to
have invented both blue bacon burgers and pastrami burgers.

I suspect highly that publicity in a smaller town got a bit ahead of
reality but I am too lazy to search to see if the claims are true or
not
