Today, Katie writes, edits, and performs several other tasks for OnlyInYourState and has never been more passionate about a job before. Outside of work, you can likely find her curled up on with a hot cup of coffee, practicing yoga, baking, or exploring the beautiful Lone Star State (in particular, the vast and mystical West Texas desert).
When you’re in a pinch and need a quick lunch before heading back to work, Subway does the job just fine. However, when you’ve got a little more time on your hands and want a truly indulgent deli experience, Kenny & Ziggy’s in Houston is where it’s at. It’s a taste of New York right here in Texas, and your taste buds won’t quite know what to do with themselves.
Since 1999, the food-loving family behind Kenny & Ziggy's has filled the hearts and stomachs of Houstonians. They brought a taste of New York to the Lone Star State, and we just can't get enough of it.
The decor is exactly what you'd expect: salami hanging from the ceiling, portraits of famous stars lining the walls, and families enjoying each others' company. You definitely won't feel like you're in Texas!
As for the food, get ready to spend a good 30 minutes looking over the gigantic menu. It has over 200 items ranging from classic monstrous sandwiches to matzo ball soup and everything in between.
Nearly two whole pages of the menu are dedicated to sandwiches alone. Homemade corned beef, clubs, Reubens, and even beef tongue are just a few of the delicious offerings.
If burgers are more your style, Kenny & Ziggy's has you covered. They're piled just as high as the sandwiches to satisfy even the most Texas-sized appetites out there!
