Josh's Delicatessen & Appetizing Opening April 17

"What South Florida is missing is great deli. And I plan to fill that void. We’re taking all of the classics and putting a fresh, new twist on them,” says Joshua Marcus on the deli he is opening in April 17 in the space formerly known as Chow Down Grill. In addition to his award winning matzoh balls made with duck fat and ginger beer, Marcus promises a lot including smoked sable (black cod brined for three hours then hot smoked for four hours, topped with molasses and paprika); pickled mackerel; pastrami salmon; corned beef; Harding salami (a house-made combination of a savory Italian salami and classic kosher hard salami); and tongue. Marcus isn't only filling the void of the dwindling, non existent Miami Beach deli: he's also going to try to suck the stigma out of sorry Florida bagels by making his own. [EaterWire]
