One time there were a dozen Jewish delis on the Lower East Side, now there is one - Russ & Daughters. The reason seems to be that no one wanted their kids in the business. The owner said his son practices medicine. "As far as I know I am the only Jewish father who was disappointed that his kid became a doctor. I was thinking sturgeon not surgeon." But the old timers I have watched slicing lox with a razor thin blade were as good as any surgeon. Cut, cut, cut as the old lady told them - now I'll take that one!
