St. Lewis does not have a rectifier butcher’s option.

Closing left a difference in the market. Some pop -ups and restaurants, based in Chicago, are now trying to fill some of the differences.

The famous effort to debut on the opening day at BUSCH Stadium debuted. Section 147’s Cosher Food Stand boasts a new name, STUIE ‘S, but the weekly Past Lami, the chond beef sandwich and the hot dog menu are maintained in the same name as KOHN’s before.

On weekends and holidays, the stuie ‘s is operated by Coney Island Deli.

Stuart RosenBlum, who owns Stuie’s Stand, said that the need for aorematic restaurants and butcher stores is beyond handkerchiefs for sandwiches. It can serve as a cultural and community gathering place for Jewish families, including the idea of ​​moving to this area.

Rosenblum said, “There is a huge hole.” It will be a problem if they do not correct. “

Chicago’s Cosher business, Zelda’s catering, is a St. Louis area that led the order of spells on a refrigerated truck.

Rabbi Jeffrey Abraham at Creve Coeur’s B’Nai Amoona congregation said, “Our scale must be able to support the cosher butcher shop.” There are some options in the most similar cities. “

According to 2024 studies by Brandeis University and the University of Chicago, commissioned by the St. Lewis Jewish Federation, there are about 46,000 Jewish adults and children in the St. Louis. About one -third of the adults have found that they follow some cosher rules, such as cooking and serving only dishes and instruments that do not eat pork and shellfish, without eating pork or shellfish, and cooking and not touching foods.

Co -owner, Scott Lefton, said in the bagels of LeFTY in Chesterfield, which uses the Cosher method for the product, the business is planning more Cosher options in the next few months.

LeFton said, “There is little on the path of the true Kosher product.” “There is a very special thing in keeping the Kosher and keeping the tradition alive. This law goes back to thousands of years.”

Shortly after KOHN’s Kosher Deli closed in July, NATE’s Cosher Delhi acquired the universe by acquiring the universe from the 10405 Old Old Olive Street Road. At that time, the owner, AVI Rosenberg, said he was looking for a permanent space for business.

However, NATE closed in December, and the opening date and location were not disclosed, but promised to open the door again in Clayton. Rosenberg did not respond to the request. Clayton’s planning department said he did not receive a permission for a new Delhi.

In 2013, RosenBlum opened a kon cart at the BUSCH Stadium, and was helped by his friend and former KOHN Cosher Delhi.

RosenBlum remembers finding a limited or clean food option when attending the game at the stadium. He pursued an idea for Cosher certified food options.

He and KOHN have maintained their carts for several years, but KOHN eventually sold his stake and Delhi to the investor group in 2022.

When Delhi closed in July, the owner, YEHUDA KESTENBAUM and Avraham Blum, faced a lawsuit for more than $ 150,000 from the Illinoi food distributor.

RosenBlum purchased Kestenbaum and Blum last year from the ownership of the BUSCH Stadium Stand. He said he changed his brand from KOHN’s S to Stuie’s to keep his legal issues.

RosenBlum said, “I really need to be able to improve and access the Jewish community.” There is a limited access to food. “

LeFTY’s Bagle’s Lefton said that there are many nuances regarding Cosher food preparation. For example, authentic Jews maintain the most stringent version of the Cosher, while some conservative Jews can eat what they are made in the Cosher style, but they do not necessarily have to be certified by VAAD HOEIR of St. Lewis, a regional organization consisting of a rabbi group that provides Cosher authentication.

Reformed Jews usually do not maintain cleansing, but they can follow some guidelines.

As a business, LeFTY’s bagels are not certified by VAAD. But bagels, cream cheese and fish have been certified as Cosher, Lefton said. Bagles keep “two arms away” in non -coshers with baked in a separate oven.

Lefton is expensive to maintain the license of the cosher and procure the cosher, and LEFTON is expensive as the Cosher Delhi industry is strictly maintained.

Lefton said, “The cost is all money.” It becomes difficult from the business point of view. “

Gokul Indian Restaurant has been certified as Cosher after opening in 2010. The owner of JITENDRA SANDHE said he encouraged the long -standing Jewish customers in the previous restaurant to contact VAAD.

Now he delivers frozen cosher meals all over the country and says that about 70%of DINE-in customers are Jews. There is a staple of Indian cuisine that cannot be served like Pani Puri, but Sand said that Cosher limit is not an obstacle.

Sandhe said of the Jewish community, “If I didn’t support it, I wouldn’t have this location.” I’m very proud of being the only 100% vegetarian and Cosher restaurant in St. Lewis. “

Linda Neiman, the founder and boss of Zelda Catering, said the project has been catering and scheduling events in the St. Lewis for several years. In recent months, we have increased shipping frequency.

ZELDA ‘S is delivered monthly delivery for about 25 local households. Last week, the company delivered dishes such as Matzo Ball Soup, Cabernet-Braised Short Ribs, Honey and Apricot Glazed Chicken, Baked Potatoes and Passover.

Neiman said, “We hope to meet the needs of the community.”

At present, Abraham, a B’Nai Amoona congregation, says that you and others can be obtained by creating a cosher burger or sandwich at home or attending a weekday match in Bush and visiting Stu S -stand.

“My office was joking. ‘We all have to buy a cardinal ticket to have a fresh Kosher meal.”
