The documentary narrates the rich history of the New York Delicatessen, a tradition that has its roots in Germany before making its way to the United States with German immigrants. As a large wave of Jewish immigration followed, these delicate establishments transformed to align with Jewish dietary laws, leading to the emergence of the Kosher Deli. At its zenith, New York City boasted over a thousand Kosher delis, a vibrant testament to the cultural melting pot. However, in contemporary times, this culinary heritage has tragically dwindled to less than a dozen surviving delis.
