In this book about deli's food, history, and characters, its greatest triumphs, spectacular failures, and ultimately its very future, David Sax goes deep into the world of the Jewish delicatessen. From New York to Chicago, Florida, L.A., Montreal, Toronto, Paris, and beyond, Sax strives to answer the question: Can the Jewish deli thrive, and if so, how? Funny, poignant, and impeccably written, " Save the Deli" is the story of one man's search to save a defining element of a culture--and the sandwiches--he loves.
