Kenny & Zuke's Delicatessen, Jewish delicatessen in Portland, United States
Kenny & Zuke's Delicatessen is a Jewish-style deli in downtown Portland serving house-made pastrami, fresh bagels, and traditional sandwiches prepared daily. The space also accommodates catering for groups of any size.
The establishment started in 2006 at a farmers market under the name "The Pastrami King" before moving to a permanent downtown location. This evolution from a market vendor to a full restaurant mirrors Portland's growing food scene.
The place honors Jewish delicatessen traditions while sourcing ingredients from the Pacific Northwest region. This blend shapes how the food is prepared and what you find on the menu.
The deli is located downtown and easy to reach, with a dining room for sitting and takeout options available. It works well to plan ahead if visiting with a larger group or arranging catering.
The pastrami is prepared using a slow smoking method done on-site that gives it a distinctive flavor unlike typical mass-produced versions. Each portion is cut by hand to achieve the exact texture and thickness.
