Sadly a decent Delicatessen that I found in Scottsdale has closed their doors. They always served you a tasty fresh pastrami on the right kind of rye bread, Fluffy Matzah balls,

traditional knishes,

tasty latkes sandwiches,

and quality fresh lox. .

The definition of Delicatessen means a shop that sells various foods already cooked or prepared.

I decided I have to move on and find a new delicatessen. I was surprised that the Scottsdale Arizona Area has around a half dozen different delicatessen/bagel kind of places that have good ratings on review sites.

I was attracted to one place that sounded special. They baked their own bagels and offered a nice dog friendly patio and nearly everyone said the food was very good. I thought they were worthy of a Forking Try.

Things looked good as the place was pack with lots of people.

We ordered a variety of things, a Lox Platter, a Pastrami on Rye and a Potato Knish. The food soon arrived and mostly looked Good.

I receive the lox platter and go to spread cream cheese on a bagel slice. THE FORKING CREAM CHEESE had the texture of FORKING Yogurt. It seemed like whipped cream cheese that was FORKING watered DOWN. The Forking cream Cheese tasted watery mildly like cream cheese and had less tang and the wrong texture.  Only a moron would water down cream cheese. WTFork!

The Home Made Bagel lacked chewiness

and possibly maybe wasn’t made with yeast. It had a very odd texture. If I made bagels like this I’m certain not  ONE PERSON ALIVE that would forking tell me to open a shop and sell my own home made forking bagels.

The quality of the lox was questionable and so was the expiration date. It tasted forking fishy and mostly just salty. I couldn’t forking stomach more than three bites.

It was time to try the Potato Knish since I was hungry.

It had a non-traditional puff pastry covering unlike the normal one I had at Miller’s. Parts of the Puff Pastry were gooey and under baked.

Instead of a tasty potato filling this knish was stuffed with what seemed like forking instant potatoes.

So I tried a bite of the Pastrami Sandwich.

The Bread was fluffy and only mildly tasted like rye bread. I don’t know what the Fork they did to the pastrami. It was almost hard and dry but also fatty!  I think instead of braising it until done (maybe two hours more) they forking just deep fried it trying to make it edible. The forking pastrami was sort of like oily pastrami jerky. When you bit it you got snap and the fluffy bread couldn’t hold it together.

Sadly the forking potato salad was lousy too.

It turned out to be an unbalanced, over seasoned, too heavy on the mustard. It was a concoction that only a person without taste buds could stomach. The Potato Salad was Forking was gross. I can only figure it might have been made by someone’s young grandchild or maybe was a batch waiting to go off the the inmates of Sheriff Joe’s Jail.

You usually get filled up at a deli but from this place you might leave hungry.
