Beloved culinary and cultural institutions, Jewish delis are treasure troves of extraordinary flavors—rich, buttery, briny, sweet, fatty, salty, smoky… In The Jewish Deli, comic artist and deli enthusiast Ben Nadler takes readers on a delightfully entertaining exploration of the history and culture of these iconic foods and the places that serve them over the counter.
A feast for the eyes, this accessible and informative nonfiction graphic novel shares stories of tradition and innovation, celebrates beloved menu staples, explores flavor profiles and food preparation, offers ordering tips, and highlights both legendary and up-and-coming delis. Each chapter guides readers through the details and delights of key food categories—meat, fish, bagels and bread, schmears, soups and sides, sweets, and drinks—all beautifully illustrated and each more tempting than the last.
