FYI, the knishs sold by little old ladies on the beach at Coney Island iln the 1930s and 1940s were ALWAYS square and deep fried. I’m 81 years of age and lived most of my early years in Coney Island.

I'd kill for the Gabila and the subsequent heartburn. You can make fun of the block-like Gabila knish…but I’m living in Nashville which only has an ersatz deli of two with not-so-great sandwiches.

Sam & Paul Kusnick owned it then and I saw Sam split a knish,(Square Gabila) stuff it with pastrami and top it with cole slaw. I just shook my head because it was just too much to get your mouth around. Since then, I've seen them stuffed with cheese, ham & cheese, bacon & cheese and your traditional Rueben sans rye bread. I now reside in Greene County, NY and have a store in Catskill, JERRY'S (not so famous but quite popular) DELI. Most people here have never heard of a knish (until I opened) round or square and pronounce it nish at first. After we get the name right they always ask, "what can I put on it?'' I tell them "anything you want!" I still shake my head sometimes. This is nothing new. 40 years ago I worked in Buddies Restaurant in Marine Park, Brooklyn (Flatbush & Utica Aves).

I should know...they named the sandwich after me. Zingerman’s Deli in Ann Arbor opened in 1982 with a knish sandwich on the menu, made with pastrami and spicy mustard.

If I remember correctly the judges were really impressed and I'd love to have the recipe. Didn’t someone just enter a Foodnetwork contest using the knish as the basis of a sandwich?
