Editorial Review:
Whether it's a pastrami on rye or a bagel with a schmear, America's Great Delis, by Sheryll Bellman, explores the history and recipes of the country's most beloved delis. From New York's Lower East Side to Detroit and all points west, the delicatessen remains a quintessential part of the American landscape. In New York, as in much of America, lunch is synonymous with deli. Perfected in the early twentieth century by Eastern European Jewish immigrants, the deli, short for delicatessen, quickly won our hearts — and stomachs!
From Barney Greengrass "The Sturgeon King" to Katz's Deli, with their beloved slogan "Send a Salami to Your Boy in the Army," and the renowned Carnegie Deli, celebrity hotspot for generations, America's Great Delis is the authoritative answer to all your noshing needs.
Vintage photographs, menus, and signs complement the mouth-watering recipes made famous in delis across the country. Matzo ball soup, classic coleslaw, and cheesecake are just a few of the classic made-to-order tastes included for deli aficionados everywhere.
Features: •More than one hundred nostalgic deli photographs, historical food and deli details, and a guide to "deli speak." •Recipes including Ben's Kosher Noodle Kugel, Zingerman's Hamentaschen, Ratner's Potato Pancakes, Nate `n Al's Corned Beef Hash, and many more. •Famous delis such as 2nd Avenue Deli, Ratner's, and The Stage Deli in New York, and Canter's and Langers in Los Angeles, among others across the country.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A bad tourist guide of a little new york
The author tries to show some knowledge of the delis in New York focusing in only certain aspects that for the majority of the people are not important.
The book gives less information than any serious (Zagat) tourist guide of the Big Apple.
Rating:  - History, travelogue, and cookbook all rolled into one
This book is a combination history, travelogue, and cookbook all rolled into one.
From a history standpoint Ms. Bellman goes back to describe how many of the classic deli foods were invented. In 1610, for instance, bagels were created in Krakow, Poland and given as gifts to women after childbirth.
As a travelogue, whe has visited and describes a few dozen deli's from around the country. As you would expect, New York gets the most coverage. After all NYC has the most deli's. ... Read More

America's Great Delis takes a fond look at these hallowed halls of dining pleasure in a book that is part tribute, part history, and part cookbook and all a pleasure to read.
Author Sheryll Bellman begins the book by taking a look at the history of deli food including ... Read More
