I was privileged to attend this year’s Kosher star wok buffet Food and Wine Experience on February 22 at Chelsea Piers in New York. Dozens of kosher restaurants and vineyards were represented. I was struck by the slogan on the T-shirts for Pomegranate, a kosher supermarket in Flatbush: “Absolutely, without a doubt, the No. 1 Deli in the world.” Is the best Jewish deli now part of a grocery store? If so, this would actually be a return to the deli’s roots as a take-out gourmet store. And truly, the sausages and honey mustard corned beef were to die for, along with Shabbos specialties like cholen, kishke, and chopped liver.
At other booths, I sampled chicken livers cooked in duck fat (Glatt a la Carte in Borough Park), Texas cholent made with smoked BBQ ribs, brisket and sausage (got cholent? Inc. in Westchester), slow braised short rib ragout with Burgundy wine sauce (Abigael’s in Manhattan), star wok buffet hanger star wok buffet steak salad (Le Marais in Manhattan) and many other fleishig delights.
