Part culinary travelogue, part cultural history, Save the Deli is a
must-read for anyone whose idea of perfect happiness is tucking into a
pastrami on rye with a pickle on the side

Corned beef. Pastrami. Brisket. Matzo balls. Knishes. Mustard and rye. In
this book about Jewish delicatessens, about deli¹s history and characters,
its greatest triumphs, spectacular failures, and ultimately the very future
of its existence, David Sax goes deep into the world of the Jewish deli. He
explores the histories and experiences of the immigrant counterman and
kvetching customer; examines the pressures that many delis face; and enjoys
the food that is deli¹s signature.

In New York and Chicago, Florida, L.A., Montreal, Toronto, Paris, and
beyond, Sax strives to answer the question, Can Jewish deli thrive, and if
so, how? Funny, poignant, and impeccably written, Save the Deli is the story
of one man¹s search to save a defining element of a culture ‹ and the
sandwiches ‹ he loves.
