Food: 100 Years in the Kosher Delicatessen Trade
Produced by L. John Harris and Bill Chayes
Directed by Bill Chayes
Based on material from The Deli Book by L. John Harris
A Deli Project Production in association with the Judah L. Magnes Museum
When standing at the Deli counter, do you wonder what makes a good pastrami
sandwich kosher? Our film offers a tell all, behind the scenes look at the
Biblically based kosher meat manufacturing process. The film focuses on the
immigrant Oscherwitz family, manufacturers of Kosher deli products since the
1880's.
Through interviews, archival photos and film, the Oscherwitz story is told,
along with a step-by-step examination of the koshering process. On location
at the company plant with a side trip to a classic deli, the film captures
the mouth-watering flavors and heart warming memories of the Jewish
delicatessen.
Divine Food has been broadcast on 18 PBS affiliate stations, has appeared
with great success in 20 film festivals across the country. It is used in
many Jewish schools to describe the Kosher manufacturing process and as an
inspirational story of a successful immigrant family. In addition it has
been shown countless times across the country in Jewish institutions and
homes followed by an inevitably successful deli lunch!
