From knishes to kishke to kasha, Kenny & Ziggy's serves both the full gamut of Old World, Eastern European Jewish comfort food, as well as a wide range of diner classics. As the movie Deli Man documented, Ziggy Gruber's Galleria-area restaurant isn't just good for Houston — it's among the best delis in the country. First-timers should start with classics like a pastrami on rye or a bagel and lox. Just save room for a massive slice of cheesecake.
