Toronto: Something delicious on the horizon…
I got an email today from Marty Marks, a caterer and chef who is going to be…wait for it…opening a new deli in Thornhill this August. It’s name will be Pastrami King (no relation to New York’s excellent Pastrami Queen), and their website promises the following:
“Watch for the August / 07 opening of our new PASTRAMI KING ® SANDWICHES& DELI to be located in Thornhill ( North Toronto ) and Barrie ON.
We’ll be specializing in Hot Smoked Pastrami Sandwiches on Rye. ( We make our own pastrami daily with a generous crusting of spices and peppercorns ). We’ll also be serving up traditional Corned Beef, Roast Brisket of Beef & Authentic Montreal Smoked Meat sandwiches along with sliced meats by the pound for take out, traditional appetizers, side dishes, homemade salads and comfort food desserts.
We’ll also feature a new & unique order ahead service for Cottagers called COTTAGE DELI X-PRESS ® for those folks and their families who have absolutely no alternative other than to satisfy their cravings for Genuine Traditional Deli while at the cottage. Look for our Mosquito Carrying Deli Logo on our specially insulated ( ice stays cold for 3 days ) attractive cooler bags as we launch this service. We also cater for all occasions. Drool on Dudes!
For more info call 1-877-724-4488.”
Email is info@cottagechef.com
Save the Deli Toronto faithful should get ready to welcome this new deli into our neck of the woods. Stay tuned for updates and field trip information.

Thanks for the Ontario deli update. I live in Hamilton, never the centre of Jewish ‘deli-dom’. For old times sake, I mourn the demise of Ben’s, a Montreal institution as well as deli eatery. I knew it in halycon days and am glad I wasn’t around Montreal to see its later reported shabby decline.
