Description of Pictures: Save the Deli: In Search of Perfect Pastrami, Crusty Rye, and the Heart of Jewish Delicatessen
As a life-long deli obsessive, David Sax was understandably alarmed by the state of Jewish delicatessen -- a cuisine that once sat at the very center of Jewish life had become endangered by assimilation, homogenization, and health food trends. And so Sax set out on a journey across the U.S. and around the world in search of authentic delicatessen. As chronicled in his new book Save the Deli, Sax investigates everything deli -- how it's made, who makes it best, and where to go for particular dishes.
Sax will speak about how Jewish people view deli cuisine in relation to their health, weight, and bodies. Come uncover if it is still possible to save the deli. Join this rallying cry for a new generation of food lovers, and sample some classic deli fare while you’re at it.

2009 photos: Equipment this year: I was using mostly the Fuji S100fs. I've also got a Nikon D90 and a newer Fuji -- the S200EHX -- both of which are nice but I still prefer the flexibility of the Fuji.
Trips this year: (1) quick jaunt to Niagara Falls, (2) quick jaunt to New York City, (3) the Civil War Preservation Trust annual conference in Gettysburg, (4) out west for the San Diego Comic-Con and various places, and (5) the Civil War Preservation Trust Grand Review in Springfield IL .
Ego strokes: I had a picture of a Lincoln-Obama cupcake sculpture published in Civil War Times and WUSA-9, the local CBS affiliate, ran a quick piece on me. A picture that I took at the annual Abraham Lincoln Symposium appeared in the National Archives' "Prologue" magazine.
Photos taken this year: 417,000 (over 1.5 million since I went digital back in 2002).
User page views this year: 22,700 (almost identical to last year -- definitely not an ego stroke!).
