Rupert Jee has become Broadway's most popular deli owner through his numerous appearances on Late Show with David Letterman. Owner of the Hello Deli at Broadway and West 53rd Street, adjacent to the Ed Sullivan Theater, Rupert delivered hot soup to cold studio audience members and has adorned the Late Show's Christmas tree with steaming meatballs.  His first appearance with Dave was on September 20, 1993.
