Kenny & Zuke's Deli - Portland, OR

Kenny & Zuke's Delicatessen (1038 SW Stark St.) is a relatively new restaurant on the edge of the Pearl District in downtown Portland. This has a bright and cheery deli corner location in what was a dark, seedy bar (no, I hadn't been there - just walked by). A nice improvement to the neighborhood in my opinion! The pastrami on rye (above) should not be missed. The sandwich is enormous (less than half is shown above). The menu describes the pastrami: Cured 5 days, Smoked 10 hours, Steamed for 3 & Hand-sliced Just for You. Served with Pickle & Potato Salad, Cole Slaw, or Fries. Other menu options include a variety of sandwiches and breakfast options. Don't forget it is a deli so you also get Latkes, Challah French Toast, Cheese Blintzes, Lox, Bagels, Bialy, Reubens, Matzoh Ball Soup, Hamantashen, and other Jewish favorites.
