Katz's Texas Deli

Er, right. Katz's Deli (Austin, TX) has actually been around since 1979. Founder and (still?) owner of the Austin branch (he once sued his son over a Houston location) Marc Katz is indeed from the Big Apple, and by one account he recreated in Austin a "Hebro-Disney version of New York City" in Jewish deli terms. Regardless of provenance or authenticity, the place still does a booming business, especially late at night. And despite Katz's New York nativity, there's no relation to the much older and more storied NYC Katz's Deli. Any Hebro-Disney resemblance is purely coincidental.
