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 deli’s 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 deli’s 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 man’s search to save a defining element of a culture ― and the sandwiches ― he loves.

Hard Cover. Condizione: Very Good+. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good+. First Edition. 314 pp, 8 1/2" H. B&w photographs. Signed on title page (signature only). "Sax investigates everything deli - its history, its diaspora, its next generation. He tells us about the food itself - how it's made, who makes it best, and where to go for particular dishes. Along the way, he meets with a host of deli owners and patrons - from immigrant countermen to kvetching customers - to explore their histories and experiences and the challenges delis face. Untimately, there is hope: in Montreal and Toronto, New York and Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, Paris and beyond, Sax finds deli newly and lovingly made, traditions maintained, and in New York's 2nd Ave Deli, an institution resurrected. So grab a smoked meat sandwich and sit down for a great read. (This) is an energetic cultural history of Jewish food, a vibrant travelogue, and a rallying cry for a new generation of food lovers. A very small bump at the top of the spine. Dust jacket has light wrinkling at the top of the spine. Signed by Author. Codice articolo 31396
