WHAT YA' HAVIN'!?

Third Eye · 06-25-2009, 04:33 AM

Well if you're going for nostalgia, I had to vote for Whataburger. Having a ton of family in the D/FW area, we used to visit quite often. No trip was complete without at least one stop by Whataburger.

PS- As far as KC burgers go, Hi-Boy is way better than Winstead's.

Just look at that cross section.

Hmmm, your use of engineering terms to describe food is intriguing.

Usually that is an all day meal.

Al's Italian Beef Sandwich - Chicago?

d'bronx wild bill sandwich for KCMO is AWESOME!!!

The Awesome Reuben from New York Bakery and Delicatessen on 70th and Holmes was legendary, but the health department recently shut them down.

Here's the owners version of the closing: from http://www.savethedeli.com/2009/05/0...ity-is-closed/

Sadly, the New York Bakery and Delicatessen is closed. I heard about it from several Save the Deli readers, and finally from Jim Holzmark and his wife Barbara. Here’s the story:

Two years back, when I was in the deli, Holzmark told me that he was thinking of selling the place. He’d just turned 70, none of his kids wanted to take over, and the hours were backbreaking. He wanted to retire, and he put the deli up for sale. A year later, when none of the offers came through, he simply told me “Cash talk and bullshit walks” and endeavored to soldier on, and with right-hand-man Sonny Taborn at his side, he was making adjustments so that it’d be easier.

Sadly, last March, Sonny had a stroke and has been incapacitated since. Jim tried to work even harder, despite the difficulty, but then got into a fight with the health department. They cited him for various violations and demanded he make $80,000-$100,000 in improvements to bring the sixty plus year old building up to code. Rather than fight, and spend all his money doing so, Holzmark bowed out, depriving KC of its last Jewish deli.

“Sonny’s stroke took the wind out of my sails,” said Holzmark, in a conversation today, “The health department rode me pretty hard, and with that and with Sonny I had to cut out a lot of my wholesale business. So I made the decision to just shutter it. Its a real shame, because Pumpernick’s, the only other Jewish restaurant/deli in town, just closed six weeks ago. That’s it for Jewish food in Kansas City.”

Probably shouldn't put the provolone on the pastrami.

And on rye. Sourdough, wtf?

A bunch of really specific and obscure choices. I'm thinking a poll maybe wasn't the best way to present this information.
