"With whimsy and a comic-style approach, the book touches on the history of Jewish delis; explores iconic items such as "The Smoked Meat Sandwich," "The Reuben Sandwich," and "Chopped Liver"; and interviews the owners of some of the best-known establishments around...It's impossible to leaf through this book without developing some major cravings, too."

"This book is 256 pages of joy, replete with Alaskan king salmon wear-ing crowns and an adorable car-toon parve rugelach cozi-ly sand-wiched between its bud-dies, a milk jug in Crocs and a chick-en drum-stick with plaid socks...This won-der-ful book will sure-ly appeal to any-one who is hun-gry to learn more about the his-to-ry of Ashke-nazi com-fort food."
