I see that the new owners are here, replying to posts. That's a good sign. Because maybe it's as simple as a good thorough cleaning and a new coat of paint and this deli will be restored to its former glory. The place remains as unappetizing as its lackluster food and service. I won't wax nostalgic for the previous iteration of Katz' Deli, with its 3-inch-high corned beef sandwiches, half-sours & dills at the table when you sit down, the NY groove. Instead I'll just say (to the new owners, whom I respect), please clean the place up. Take down the sun-bleached old posters. Repaint. Put up some NY-themed artwork. Up your game. Stack your sandwiches. Debone your whitefish. Bake your own black & whites. Give us a deli we can count on. We really, really need a good deli in Charlotte.
