About Jake Dell

Jake Dell is the third generation of his family to run the quintessential New York institution Katz’s Deli.  He officially joined the business in 2009, taking over for his father Alan and grandfather Martin. Though Dell literally grew up at Katz's, he was studying to become a doctor when he took a year off and fell in love with the business. In 2013, Dell published the photographic book Katz’s: Autobiography of a Delicatessen to commemorate the deli’s 125th anniversary.
