Alby Sherman (ELLIOTT GOULD) is a man with a deli and a dream. He wants to sell his greasy spoon in Brooklyn and buy a swanky eatery in Manhattan. His Uncle Benjamin will lend him the money but on one condition - Alby must dump his non-Jewish girlfriend Elizabeth and marry his decidedly kinky Cousin Cheryl! Alby is faced with an agonising choice - a restaurant or a dish who is definitely not on the menu!
