There’s something truly special about traditional Jewish delis, whether you have experienced one in person or are simply aware due to their prevalence in television programs and movies. And now the history of these culinary institutions is on full display thanks to a new traveling exhibit, “‘I’ll Have What She’s Having’: The Jewish Deli,” that was recently highlighted in a New York Times article found here.
The exhibit is at the Skirball Cultural Center through September 18, 2022. It will then be at the New-York Historical Society from November 11, 2022 through April 2, 2023; the Holocaust Museum Houston from May 4, 2023 through Aug. 13, 2023; and the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center in Skokie, Ill., from Oct. 22, 2023 through April 14, 2024.
In the meantime, here are a few of our deli-inspired recipes to help get you in the mood for this tasty traveling show!
