[...] brisket. Needless to say, this is what we focused on. Mile End was featured alongside my beloved Kenny & Zuke’s in Portland in a New York Times article on the new wave of delis that are reviving traditional fare [...]

Our lunch at Kenny and Zuke’s was amazing! The corned beef and salami tasted great in a frittata that I made the next day when Empanada Boy’s oldest sister and her family came over for brunch.

One more thing about Kenny and Zuke’s – the rye bread is fantastic. I haven’t tasted any rye bread so good since Mosler’s bakery closed. When we were kids, we used to beg to go to Mosler’s in old South Portland after religious school on Sunday mornings. In those days we didn’t use seat belts, so eight or ten kids from the neighborhood would be piled into one family’s station wagon. We would sing to the tune of “Matilda” – “I’m hungry, I’m hungry, I’m hungry! Take the money and run to Mosler’s!” We would each get a hot bagel from Mr. Mosler (who seemed very bald and very old to us kids). Our parents would buy more bagels and the most wonderful rye bread… dense, but not too heavy. Thanks to Kenny and Zuke’s for bringing back those memories!

You had me at house-made pickles. I am putting this one on my short list.

Kenny and Zuke’s is fantastic—the star is the Cobb salad. Congratulations on your wedding and “new life together.”

I’m glad you finally made it to Kenny and Zukes, and that it lived up to all the hype. One of the best things about Kenny and Zukes that you didn’t mention though – they’re open late night! This is a perk that is rare in the Portland restaurant scene.

Congrats to ML and EB on a beautiful and fun wedding! xoxo
