Michael G. Kramer: Ode to Langer’s Deli

We received a wonderful piece of correspondence recently from Friend of Langer’s Michael G. Kramer; if this isn’t deli-inspired poetry, nothing is:

I wrote this in response to a forwarded email bemoaning the fate of the deli in general from New York:

As of this moment in history there is but one Deli. Langer’s of Los Angeles has become a sacred destination of deli and pastrami enthusiasts the world over since it is now regarded as the home of the finest Pastrami Sandwich in the history of all interplanetary species.

New Yorkers cry now to realise that the crown of the perfect deli experience has drifted west to the despicable capitol of the trivial life………Los Angeles……But….. surrounding this temple of immeasurable perfection – LANGERS – shall arise a new community, worthy of its existence. The Hub of the Universe, The Deli of G-d’s choice is here, spreading hope for the future of the people who face the Wide Pacific Shore.

– Michael G. Kramer

Absolutely wonderful.
