Deli Man
Every story needs a brave and trustworthy guide, and Deli Man�s is the effusive and charming Ziggy Gruber, a third-generation delicatessen man – his uncle and great-uncle owned Berger�s 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 country�s top delis, Kenny and Ziggy�s in Houston � yes, Texas�Shalom y�all. Of course the story of deli isn�t Ziggy�s alone. Deli Man has visited meccas like the Carnegie, Katz�s, 2nd Avenue Deli, Nate �n Al, and Canter�s, as well as interviewed some of the great connoisseurs of deli, including Jerry Stiller, Alan Dershowitz, Freddie Klein, Dennis Howard, Jay Parker (Ben�s Best), Fyvush Finkel, and Larry King. – ComingSoon.net
