   David - enjoyed the article in the Times today. I am from Atlanta, Georgia and during my last couple of years of high school (1978-1980) worked as a “counter boy” at the famous “Snack N’Shop” delicatessen on the Northside of town. Kosher style. It was owned by a brother and sister — Saul Feldman and Fran Landau; the business had been started by their Russian immigrant mother, and the recipes were hers. They ran it with their spouses (Renee Franco Feldman and Dave Landau) and kids. It was very popular; closed in about 1998 (I think — I haven’t lived in Atlanta since the early 1990s) because they lost their lease. Saul Feldman was the front man — seating all the customers, schmoozing with everyone. Sadly he died a couple of years ago. They made their own chopped liver, potato salad, cole slaw, devilled eggs and matzo ball soup, but, at least by my era, weren’t curing their own meats. It was a real institution. If you were interested to research it, you should be able to track down the surviving owners whom I mentioned above. Also their children all live in the Atlanta area too. I could probably give you more information to help you track them down if you are interested.

   By the way Atlanta had had another Jewish deli which I think disappeared by the 1980s, Harry Barron’s. It was a bit “fancier.”

   All that’s left now is Goldbergs, which is owned by a South African Jewish family. I have to say a poor successor to its predecessors in the business in Atlanta!
