Save the Deli goes to the White House
Dear America,
For too long you have struggled in your effort to save the deli. But now, thanks to my friend Sara Kuzmarov, and others, we have a fighting chance. You see, last month I mailed off three advance copies of Save the Deli to the White House. There are several serious deli lovers on the President’s staff who have the power to bring change to DC’s stagnant deli culture. They can inject hope and a new tomorrow to our struggling delis. Bailouts, rescue packages, cured meat reform…all of it is possible.
Am I serious? You betcha. Save the Deli is in the White House, and who knows…perhaps Obama will see it on a desk, crack it open, and do his part. One can only hope.
For the sake of America.

Smart move, maybe you’ll receive a quote back from the President. If you recall, Obama, stopped in to the legendary, ‘Manny’s Deli’ of Chicago last november, owner, Ken Raskin offered Obama a discount but Obama insisted on paying the full price for three corned beef sandwiches, three potato pancakes and two slices of cherry pie to go.
Asked what he ordered, Obama answered, “We got the corned beef.
And on the campaign trail, congressman Wexler and Obama made a lunch stop at Deli-Den in South Florida.
Great book cover, makes me hungry, best of luck.

Maybe deli-inspired language will find its way into the president’s speeches. E.g., “the Bush Administration has left us in a pickle.” Or, “the GOP’s rhetoric reveals a rancid tongue.”
Or maybe, “laissez-faire economics has hit the American family right in the kishkahs.”
