In the video "Deep Cuts" from 1 Minute Meal, watch as Dell discusses the importance of tradition and nostalgia as he talks about his meat-cutters, many of whom have been with Katz's Deli for generations and garnered loyal customer followings.
Jake Dell, co-owner and manager at Katz's Delicatessen, shares his memories and his respect for the "cutters" -- the people who prepare Katz's world-famous sandwiches and share a special relationship with customers from behind the deli counter.
