At the very edge of New York City you’ll find Liebman’s Deli, the last Jewish deli in the Bronx. Open since 1953, Liebman’s has been serving classic Jewish American staples like matzo ball soup, chopped liver, knishes and, most notably, a classic pastrami sandwich that’s become famous across the five boroughs.
Follow along as we meet Yuval Dekel, who took over the deli in 2002 at the age of 26 after the death of his father. Yuval has worked to preserve the techniques and recipes that have kept Liebman’s Deli an institution for Jewish American food in New York. The pastrami sandwich, Yuval’s best-seller at Liebman’s, is all about two fundamentals: simplicity and tradition.
