About
David Sax is a deli fanatic, whose yearning for the salted, cured meats traces back to friday nights at Yitz’s in Toronto. Further back he can trace deli lineage to his father’s childhood in Montreal, and his grandfather’s childhood in Romania.
By trade David is a journalist, writing for publications such as Conde Nast Traveler, Rolling Stone, GQ, the New Republic and Toronto Life. His website www.davidsax.ca has all his articles, past and present.
Currently David is writing a book on the decline of the Jewish delicatessen, to be published in 2008 by McLelland and Stewart. Over the course of the next year he’ll tour the world, interviewing deli owners and famous deli lovers (like Ed Koch, Ruth Reichel and Kinky Friedman), try his hand cutting sandwiches at Katz’s, and voyage to the heart of deli country, whether New York, LA, Montreal, or Romania.
