Foodie Movie Alert: Deliman

In 2015, foodies should keep an eye out for the documentary called Deliman.  As the movie’s description summarizes, “Jewish culture reflects the heart of a vital ethnic history. As that culture continues to shift and adapt alongside mainstream America, delicatessen food- as its name suggests- remains a beloved communal delicacy. In Houston, Texas, third-generation deli man Ziggy Gruber has built arguably the finest delicatessen restaurant in the U.S. His story- augmented by the stories of iconic delis such as Katz’s 2nd Avenue Deli, Nate n’ Al, Carnegie, and The Stage- embodies a tradition indelibly linked to its savory, nostalgic foods.”
