  • They aren’t related at all. Katz’s Deli in Austin was opened decades ago by Marc Katz, who was a New Yorker, perennial candidate for Austin mayor, and overall sleazeball who was also on TV a lot. He expanded to a second location in Houston in like 2000, and his son, who seems saner, took that one over. Marc Katz declared bankruptcy and closed the Austin location awhile back, but his son’s business has been doing great.

Their sandwiches are fine. The fried pickles and shakes are great. They’re open at 3am when you need them to be.
