### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    GOOD MATERIAL...POOR PRINTING
  

*by H***G on Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2023*

This is a wonderful book content wise...Well written and good pictures....BUT This apparently is a "printed on demand" book and the paper is not semi glossy and the pictures are dull and poor contrast with no crisp blacks and type also lower contrast...I sent it back....The printing technique doesn't do the book justice.

*by T***I on Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2016*

This book went from wonderfully engaging to dragging slightly to a powerful close, and it was especially poignant in timing as Carnegie Deli announced their closing as I was mid book. I really enjoyed as Sax traced the Jewish diaspora within America through its delis before returning to its roots in Western and finally Eastern Europe. The deli as somewhat of a gentrification marker in the American midwest was interesting and unexpected to this reader.I found that Sax's writing brought the food to life and made the dishes he sampled as much of characters as the deli men he interviewed. I'm not a big deli eater, but I had a craving for noodle kugel, challah, lox and more.I think the only reason the Canadian deli traditions didn't interest me as much as I'm not that interested in their food scenes. I had a stronger tie to other cities and I think that's why I enjoyed them more. If I didn't know the deli, I often knew the neighborhood. In the case of Stage and Carnegie, I walked past them daily en route to and from work. In addition to the iconic Carnegie, closing at the end of 2016, Jimmy and Drew's in Boulder has also closed since his research trip. Delis truly are dying off. Made me even more grateful for the rebirth of the 2nd Avenue deli and I'm glad both NYC locations are still thriving to this day.Poland, and the literal death of Jewish culinary traditions in the holocaust was a perfect ending to the original research. How many recipes and deli men had died off in that, the world's largest Jewish cemetery. I wonder where the delis would be today with those six million alive. I can only hope that the resurgence in some midwest cities, as well as Ben's and Katz's here, will keep the tradition alive for another generation.
