I have an article about pastrami and David Sax’s book Save The Deli up at jew-ish.com today. The beginning is:
You know the old joke about Jewish holidays, how most of them follow the narrative, “They tried to kill us; they failed; let’s eat!” But I’m no longer sure which pillar of Jewish tradition this better describes: The holidays? Or…the deli?
Call the comment tongue-in-cheek –– or pastrami-in-cheek, whatever your taste dictates –– but the rebirth of the Jewish deli is no chopped liver. And, in fact, taste is central to the deli’s revival, according to journalist and author David Sax. He sees Jewish delicatessens not as museums, but places that are preserving both Jewish flavor and culture.

Seattle Local Food 
I just found your site from a link on Thestranger.com. I am the Assistant General Manager at Goldbergs’ Famous Deli in Bellevue working on promoting our restaurant, as we are now under new management.
Imagine my surprise when I went to your site and immediately saw an article on pastrami and Save The Deli!
We are going to be submitting some material to Save The Deli in the next couple of weeks ourselves.
In the meantime, I would like your readers to know that the Seattle area does indeed have an authentic East Coast style deli! We are located at 3924 Factoria Blvd SE (In the Factoria Square Mall) in Bellevue. We have AMAZING corned beef and pastrami, and in fact were reviewed last year as one of the top Reubens in the area.
We offer breakfast all day, have a full bar, and can cater any event you desire! All of our products are shipped in from the East Coast, so what we have to offer is the REAL DEAL!
I truly love your blog.. Pleasant colors & theme.
Did you make this web site yourself? Please reply back as
I’m trying to create my very own website and would love to know where you got this from or what the theme is named. Kudos!
