À propos de ce film

Jewish culture reflects the heart of a vital ethnic history. As that culture continues to shift and adapt alongside mainstream America, delicatessen food – as its name suggests – remains a beloved communal delicacy. In Houston, Texas, third-generation deli man Ziggy Gruber has built arguably the finest delicatessen restaurant in the U.S. His story – augmented by the stories of iconic delis such as Katz’s, 2nd Avenue Deli, Nate ‘n Al, Carnegie, and the Stage – embodies a tradition indelibly linked to its savory, nostalgic foods.

Notes et avis

Very well done - and I don't mean the brisket. A terrific documentary of the history and current state of the Jewish deli. Focusing on the current generation of men and women who continue the tradition, this film covers everything you ever wanted to know about the deli - and more.

Excellent Doc! Makes me huuuuuungy!!!!!!

Love the history and stories of the delicatessen...
