Friends,
Here is some info on the new Uptown deli via their release:
THE UPTOWN DELI, in Bethesda, a traditional Jewish delicatessen Opening in July. At 7905 Norfolk Ave.
“Give me your hungry,
Your deli deprived masses,
Yearning to be fed.
Send them to me,
I will feed and delight them”
says Deli Maven Howard Wasserman proprietor-impresario of the soon to be opened Uptown Delicatessen at 7905 Norfolk Avenue in Bethesda.
“The Uptown is the “emess” (the real thing) a New York Jewish delicatessen with a legacy of thickly filled Pastrami, brisket, Salami, Corned Beef and combination sandwiches, delicious Matzoh Ball Soup, sour pickles,Salami and Egg Omelets, Onion Bagels, Knishes, Lox, Nova, Onions, Dr. Browns Cream Soda ,Hebrew National frankfurters and authentic NY cheese cake with strawberries – it’s a true- to- tradition medley of taste, smell, and ingredients – like coming home” says Howard.
If they awarded PhD’s in Delicatessen Science Howard Wasserman would earn one. He swept sawdust on the floor of his father’s Baltimore Kosher Butcher shop and worked his way through high school and college working in Jewish Delicatessens. His entire career has been food and he knows the tastes, smells, recipes and the jokes.
The food at the Uptown will be wonderful, the atmosphere traditional with a few new wrinkles.
