Here is a delicatessen of the highest order, where quality is the defining factor above all else. Forget comparisons saying “Great for Texas” or “Great for the South”, this is one of the best in the country and I implore any of you who might be in Houston for any manner of Rodeo, Tycoon convention, or otherwise to pay Mr. Ziggy Gruber a visit. Priceless.

Foodies generally acknowledge that one of the last authentic New York delicatessens in the world is located at 2327 Post Oak Blvd. Ziggy Gruber, owner/chef of Kenny & Ziggy’s New York Delicatessen, recently spoke with Eating Our Words about how a third-generation deli man wound up living in the Lone Star State and loving it.
