The Jewish deli Schmaltzy’s opened today at 928 NW Leary Way.
Jonathan Silverberg is the man behind the new delicatessen — he also owns Napkin Friends food truck.
Schmaltzy’s will have the classic Jewish deli offerings — homemade pastrami and corned beef for example — and will prep latke press sandwiches for the Napkin Friends food truck. The deli will also have grab-n-go options, and a few tables for dining in.
The breakfast menu, available from 8am to 10:30am, includes breakfast sandwiches such as the M.O.T. Sandwich with egg, apple wood smoked bacon, spiced tomato jam, spinach and chevre on a challah bun ($7) and of course, Bagel with Shmear for $3.50, or with lox or smoked trout for an extra $4.
Their lunch menu is fairly expansive, with both cold and hot offerings and the famous latke press sandwiches such as the O.G. with housemade pastrami, mama lil’s peppers, Thousand Island dressing, horseradish cream, arugula and gruyere ($12); and the “Jewbano”, a Jewish-style Cuban with braised pork shoulder, kosher beef bologna, pickles, yellow mustard and swiss ($12).

Their hours will be 8am to 5pm to start, Tuesday to Saturday, and 8am to 2pm on Sundays (closed Mondays).
So disappointed to hear this place is using the old McDonald’s hours for breakfast…thanks for controlling my food! When/why did this become a thing!? 2.5 hours of serving breakfast? Is that even worth it? Open at a real deli time, if your gonna call yourself a deli open at 5:30 a.m. or maybe go the South American route (or McDonald’s) and serve breakfast whenever someone wants to eat that type of food.
