Though it was beyond the scope of the authors’ research, food seems to run in the Dunie family. St. Louis brothers Harry and Nathan Dunie, who founded Dunie’s downtown deli in 1912, were likely the brothers – or at least the cousins – of Isadore F. Dunie, husband of Ruth Ginsburg Dunie. The authors could not confirm whether Ruth’s recipes were ever served at the legendary deli and restaurant, which closed in 1990.
