79 min Watch NowDocumentary
A celebration of a great Jewish-American tradition. Beginning as places for Jews from Central and Eastern Europe to eat and meet, they expanded across America and eventually attracted as many non-Jews as Jews. Today, the number of Jewish Delis has shrunk dramatically and many of the survivors have adapted to changing times, sometimes in ways their forebears might not recognize.

After years as a struggling actor, Daniel was cast to play a part in Conan O'Brien's "human-centipede-menorah."
