Deli Man

Every story needs a brave and trustworthy guide, and Deli Mans is the effusive and charming Ziggy Gruber, a third-generation delicatessen man – his uncle and great-uncle owned Bergers in the diamond district, and the Woodrow Deli on Long Island. His grandfather owned the famous Rialto Delicatessen on Broadway, and Ziggy was stuffing cabbages atop of a crate when he was eight. Now he is owner and maven (as well as a Yiddish-speaking French trained chef) of one of the countrys top delis, Kenny and Ziggys in Houston yes, TexasShalom yall. Of course the story of deli isnt Ziggys alone. Deli Man has visited meccas like the Carnegie, Katzs, 2nd Avenue Deli, Nate n Al, and Canters, as well as interviewed some of the great connoisseurs of deli, including Jerry Stiller, Alan Dershowitz, Freddie Klein, Dennis Howard, Jay Parker (Bens Best), Fyvush Finkel, and Larry King. – ComingSoon.net
