I love a good Jewish Deli. Being from the South, though, and growing up around Atlanta, I've been handicapped my whole life in finding one. At least a half dozen times, I've gotten excited when a new place would open and advertise as being an "Authentic Jewish Deli." But when I would go in to eat, I would discover that none of them had my favorite deli sandwich, chopped liver and onion. When asked about it, the response would always be something like, "Oh, we don't serve that here, no one would buy it." Well excuse me, Andrew Jackson. Are you kidding me? It's the greatest deli sandwich of all time, and if you don't have it, then quit calling yourself a genuine deil.
