Kenny & Zuke's Delicatessen Description:
There's only one place in Portland where deli food can rival the Big Apple's: Kenny & Zuke's. This downtown joint is named for its owner-operators, two longtime local food purveyors. It's a New York-style, Jewish delicatessen operating under easy Portland rules where food is carefully made in-house, from the pickles to the coleslaw to the bialy, to the rye bread. The first-rate pastrami is cured five days, smoked ten hours, steamed for three, then hand-sliced and lovingly tucked into the pastrami Reuben. There are beer and wine selections, as well as an array of soft drinks---or opt for a classic egg cream. Kids can order happily from their own menu. The large dining area features huge windows and civilized seating. There is no Big Apple surliness here, only a friendly waitstaff wearing charming "Body by Pastrami" T-shirts. Northwest Portland claims a deli annex, Kenny & Zuke's SandwichWorks.
