Happy Birthday Caplansky’s
A year ago tomorrow, June 10th, Zane Caplansky opened the doors of his kitchen at the Monarch Tavern in Toronto, and started slicing his dry aged, hand cut smoked meat. There was a good crowd that day. So good, in fact, that he sold out of meat and had to close for two weeks.
It’s been a hell of a year for our friend Caplansky, who singlehandedly re-injected vigor into Toronto’s deli scene, and took Jewish food back into the heart of historic downtown. Next year should be crazy. He’s opening his own space and moving into bigger digs, and who knows what that will bring. But I’m sure it’ll be great.
Customers stopping by tomorrow will get baloons, ice cream, and cheap beer. Sounds pretty perfect.
Mazel Tov!
