Preserving Jewish Culture in HTX, One Meal at a Time

Ziggy Gruber doesn’t just run one of the nation’s best delicatessens. He’s preserving Jewish history one meal at a time. Native Houstonians know Kenny and Ziggy’s as a hot spot for gathering with family and friends over a sandwich and/or a piece of one of their legendary cheesecakes. But did you know that delicatessens are nearly extinct? During this episode, Ziggy and Freddy dive into all things delis. They talk about his journey through the food business, the challenges of running a deli, the decision to open in Houston, and his passion for preserving traditional Jewish dishes with people from all walks of life. This conversation takes many twists and turns and the end result is a podcast episode that’ll have you ready for a trip to Kenny and Ziggy’s on Post Oak.
