[youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__QRE1XYzi4&feature=related 220 178] When Ari Weinzweig (663-9304) and Paul Saginaw (913-0059) opened Zingerman's Delicatessen in an old, brick building in Ann Arbor's Kerrytown District back in 1982, they had two employees, five stools at the counter and no idea this thing would grow so big. Today, Zingerman's shares its name with a family of Ann Arbor area businesses that all build in some way upon the original plan - providing great food in a service-oriented atmosphere that is not only good for customers, but also for employees, the community and the environment. The original deli outgrew the confines of its home at 422 Detroit St., absorbing the house next door and the space between the two buildings, which now provides sunny outdoor seating.  Zingerman's Next Door sells pastries, chocolate and baked goodies, along with coffee roasted by Zingerman's Coffee Company, and when Weinzweig is in, you can often find him at his desk – a table tucked in a sunlit corner near the back door.  Back in the original deli, you can find big, serious sandwiches with names like Mary's Commute, Wayne's Inheritance, and The Ferber Experience.  Zingerman's Bakehouse supplies the handmade bread, and the cheese comes from Zingerman's Creamery, where they also make gelato.  A true foodie mecca, Zingerman's constantly strives to be better, whether that means fresher, more authentic ingredients or better service. Its customers reap the rewards. The Zingerman's empire also includes Zingerman's Roadhouse, home of the best ribs in town, Zingerman's catering and a mail order business. Zing Train is Zingerman's customer service consulting firm, and Bake! a hands-on teaching bakery with classes for adults, kids and families. When I have hosted REALTOR luncheons, I pick up deli trays from Zingerman's and don’t mind if I have leftovers.  My all time favorite is pastrami and their brownies.  My team of Ann Arbor Real Estate Experts love the fresh bread.
