Deli King, Lake Success Shopping Center
Rivka and I had passed Deli King on Union Turnpike many times. I had heard some
unsubstantiated lashon hara about Deli King's kashrut. I decided to stop in and
investigate. On the front door there is a kashrut certificate from a Rabbi Lax. Rivka and I
were welcomed by the owner Eric Newman and his mother Linda. I explained that I
didn't doubt the integrity of his establishment's kashrut or the rabbi certifying it but wished
to make my own inspection to clear up any doubts on the part of any member of my
congregation. Eric was very gracious and allowed me access to every part of his
restaurant's food preparation and storage areas for a complete inspection.
Without any hesitation I can report to you that Deli King's kashrut is of the highest
quality. You should also know that the facility is impeccably clean. Rivka and I then had
the great pleasure of trying some of Deli King’s specialties. We sampled their potato
latkes, breaded halibut, "grandma sandwich," corned beef omelet, brisket panini, stuffed
cabbage, and of course, cole slaw, pickles, and potato salad followed up by apple strudel.
Every dish was delicious. The stuffed cabbage was outstanding with a lightly sage-
flavored meat filling and a piquant sweet and sour tomato sauce. The halibut was cooked
perfectly, a bit salty for my taste but still flavorful and tasty. The corned beef omelet was
good standard deli fare. The potato pancakes were light and crispy, the best I've had in a
while. My favorite was the brisket panini, juicy delicious brisket with grilled onions
wrapped in a grilled flat bread. The strudel surpassed anything I've tried recently from
local bakeries. I highly recommend Deli King.
The kashrut is impeccable, the food tasty, and the family that operates Deli King is very
nice. I would be very happy to have them cater events in our congregation.

online edition of the July 10, 2009, issue of the Baltimore Jewish Times for Kenneth
Lasson’s article “Hebrew National & Kosher Politics: What's kosher about answering to a
higher authority?” It confirms everything that I said previously.
