Best Delicatessens In DFW

September 23, 2015 / 7:00 AM CDT / CBS Texas

While not quite up to the level of the original New York delicatessens, the DFW area has its fair share that can hold a candle to any across the United States. Of course, a delicatessen is a restaurant serving cold cuts, cheese and more, and is much more than just a restaurant selling sandwiches. While many people only know of a delicatessen by eating at a Jason's Deli or a Subway, the real delicatessens to hit in the DFW area are the locally owned stores that specialize in honoring the name and making delicious things to eat. Here is a look at the best delicatessens in the DFW area.
