A note on Jewish Penicillin

Hello Mr. Z.

Just a quick note to reiterate our conversation on how tickled I was to make your acquaintance when you were here for your conference. I shared with you how my dear friend, Anne Paul (who lives on 81st and Broadway) shops at your store DAILY. She ordered and had sent to us your miraculous chicken soup when both my husband and I were sick with the flu. All my life I have referred to chicken soup as Jewish Penicillin. Your recipe certainly fits the bill.

I hope to someday visit Anne again and I hope to stop in and say hello to you on your turf.

All my very best,
Clare Gusto Miller

Travel and Food Notes includes Zabar's

Just saw this really nice mention of Zabar's in Meryl Pearlstein's Travel and Food Notes blog. Thanks for the write up!

Although I can pretty much find anything I want in Manhattan, I love the idea of world cuisine being shipped directly to your door.  And, if you live outside of NYC, this is a way to experience the culinary treats of the Big Apple as well.  From Manhattan dessert treats to the finest Alaskan seafood to Spanish wines and oils, you’ll enjoy global treats, just in time for Thanksgiving, too.

Anyone who visits Manhattan knows that Zabar's is a must-visit, one-stop shop for all deli items. And now’s the perfect time to order goodies for Thanksgiving, from main courses like roasted turkeys and sides such as honey roasted yams, to non-Thanksgiving but typical Zabars treats like rugelach, smoked salmon and bagels (for the day after when you’re sick of turkey), or their famous coffee beans. You’ll spend lots of time online perusing their site at www.zabars.com, or call 800-697-6301 for help in selecting the perfect menu.

Zabar's Thanksgiving Menu

Thanksgiving is going to happen in just two weeks?

Thanksgiving, November, winter, holidays, not yet things actively on my mind. Things here on the East coast are still a bit haulted for me in October, pre-storm Sandy, before everything that's happened. But never the less, I just looked at my calendar hanging on the wall (you know the one showing me a full month rather than just the agenda on my phone). Thanksgiving is two weeks away! Just two weeks away. I'm shocked. I mean, I know it comes up quickly after Halloween but, wow.  So I called up my mom to decide what we're planning this year (and to provide her with a distraction from the power outage). 

We each have favorites to make, but we always finish the meal with major components from Zabar's. I know of friends who have their entire Thanksgiving sent to them by Zabar's - (the Complete Thansgiving Dinner for 10 is very tempting) but personally I like to cook certain dishes for Thanksgiving dinner and have others (maybe more difficult to prepare) sent to me from Zabar's. 

Here's a look at the Complete Thanksgiving Dinner for 10. You can order it now and schedule the ship date for Thanksgiving. It includes: Free Range Roast Turkey, Chestnut Stuffing, Homemade Giblet Gravy, Homemade Cranberry Salad, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, String Beans with Almonds, Assorted Dinner Rolls, and a Traditional Apple Bundt Cake. 

Of course if you want to pick and choose your dishes have a look at the soups and starters, side dishes, and main courses and pick your favorites. 

Free Range Roast Turkey (13lb Free Range)

• Chestnut Stuffing (3lbs)

• Homemade Giblet Gravy (1.5qt)

• Homemade Cranberry Salad (2.5lbs)

• Garlic Mashed Potatoes (5lbs)

• String Beans with Almonds (4lbs)

• Assorted Dinner Rolls (12pcs)

• Traditional Apple Bundt Cake (3lbs)

Winter Comfort Foods from Zabar's

Soups, starters, main courses, salads, and side dishes are made fresh at Zabar's and delivered overnight to your door from Zabars.com! And just like that you'll have dinner ready to heat and enjoy, no cooking, no mess and certainly more tasty than anything I could cook up for myself! 

I've been sending Zabar's prepared meals to new parents, friends who just moved in to new apartments, cousins who were craming for finals and midterms, and once in a while I just send a Chicken Soup Tote to someone dear to me who needs a pick-me-up.

The best part of shipping these is that when sent to anyone who lives within Zabar's Home Zone, the shipping is free on orders over $49. I guess lucky for me much of my family lives within 150 miles of the store. (Delivery details on Zabar's Home Zone are at Zabars.com)

 

   

Thanksgiving Dinner from Zabar's

This morning I was stairing at the calendar on my phone, thinking about the date, the days until the end of the year, all the things I'd like to get done before the weather turns too cold to be outside and could you imagine my surprise when I discovered that Thanksgiving is just two weeks away! I am still blown away by this. We've barely begun the planning our dinner, which always happens at my mom's house, and always involves a good deal of preparations ahead of time.

Last year Zabar's introduced the Zabar's Complete Thanksgiving Dinner to standing ovations (ok, probably no one was standing after all that eating, but you get the idea). This year we are offering Zabar's Complete Thanksgiving Dinner for 10, for those of us opposed to cooking but not opposed to entertaining!

The Complete Thanksgiving Holiday Dinner includes:
• Free Range Roast Turkey (13 lb)
• Chestnut Stuffing (3 lbs)
• Homemade Giblet Gravy (1.5 qt)
• Homemade Cranberry Salad (2.5 lbs)
• Garlic Mashed Potatoes (5 lbs)
• String Beans with Almonds (4 lbs)
• Assorted Dinner Rolls (12 pcs)
• Traditional Apple Bundt Cake (3 lbs)

Oh my, this is why Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of the year. You can order at Zabars.com now and schedule your order ship date for a future day, say closer to Thanksgiving.

And if you are shipping to an address within Zabar's Home Zone, shipping is free! Visit Zabars.com for details and to enter your zip code to see if it qualifies.
