This is why SF needs Pearl's Kitchen

Our recent rantings about the challenges of finding schmaltz and kosher meat in San Francisco spark curiosity in my Aunt Julie who lives outside of D.C. in Olney, Maryland. She wondered, are things different on the east coast? Well after a quick stop at her regular old local supermarket, she realized the answer is most definitely yes. It seems that kosher deli food is readily available everywhere you look. And just to rub it in, she took pictures of the deli counter at her local Giant Supermarket.

This is the brand of kosher chicken they sell at Trader  Joe's here. But TJ's definitely doesn't carry Schmaltz.

Kosher corned beef for $7.99/lb. Don't even talk to me about this.

 Noodle Kugel at the supermarket! 

You think Safeway or Whole Foods would ever stock Pearl's Kitchen kugel?

 

Six different types of knishes!

Dill and half sour pickles. 

You can definitely get good dill pickles around here, but a perfect half sour is hard to find. Pearl's Kitchen will be developing a perfect recipe for these come summer when the cukes are in season.

 

Black and White cookies. 

We like to outsource these from our favorite bakery, Sweetface Sweets, if we can persuade her to bake some Jewish deli treats!

So the moral of the story is that you can probably hunt down decent versions of the above items if you spend a lot of time looking and driving to the ends of the earth here in the SF bay area. But nobody is bringing these goodies to your local street corner except Pearl's Kitchen. So come out and grab a taste next time we're serving. Together we can achieve a world where San Franciscan's can find six different types of knishes by just logging onto their twitter account.
