Jewish delis are a great American tradition. Beginning as places for Jews from Central and Eastern Europe to eat and meet, they expanded across the American landscape and eventually attracted as many non-Jews as Jews. Baltimore is home to a number of famous (and delicious) delis, featured in this engaging and informative show on Maryland Public Television.
Co-host is Marcellus “Bassman” Shepard, a newcomer to that station but well-known for his work as an actor, DJ and voiceover talent. Marcellus came to the studio recently to update his actor headshots. He was a dream to work with, and that voice! Unforgettable.
