Some of New York’s most iconic dishes are rooted in classic Jewish deli cuisine – pastrami on rye, bagels and lox, matzo ball soup, and much more. But for Elyssa Heller, founder of Edith’s sandwich shop in Brooklyn, Jewish food has a much broader definition – one that is influenced by the Jewish diaspora. From Portuguese chicken sausage, to a lamb merguez sandwich from the Maghreb region of North Africa – Edith’s menu explores the global flavors and cultural experience of Jewish cuisine.
