HOUSTON — Now through August at the Holocaust Museum Houston, “I’ll Have What She’s Having," an exhibit showcasing the historical importance of the Jewish deli, explores not only the cuisine but how delis became a focal point in American culture through the efforts of thousands of Jewish immigrants, including here in Texas.
“Everyone was running out the shtetl for their lives during the pogroms, but when they came here they had peace and an abundance of food,” Gruber said. In the 1930s, there were more than 5,000 delis in New York City alone. Now there are roughly 105 left in the entire country, including maybe the most famous in this state: Kenny & Ziggy’s.

The talking points came in memos drafted by the Republican’s staffers as part of their initial attempt to pass a gun control proposal in April. Lee has previously praised the NRA’s help on other legislation. He has since faced its opposition on his proposal to keep guns away from people who pose a threat to themselves or others.
