Deli Man. The history of delicatessens in the United States
Erik Greenberg Anjou’s film explores Jewish culture as it reflects the heart of a vital ethnic history.
In Houston, Texas, third-generation deli man Ziggy Gruber has built arguably the finest delicatessen restaurant in the U.S, Kenny & Ziggy’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 savoury, nostalgic foods.
