With numerous “Best Of” awards under their belt, TooJay’s began as a modest New York-style delicatessen in 1981. Owners Jay Brown and Mark Jay Katzenberg used their names to come up with the moniker TooJay’s Gourmet Deli, which has stayed true to its Jewish roots, while offering additional items that are non-kosher or gluten-free and vegetarian. However the Yiddishkeit favorites, such as pastrami, corned beef, brisket, lox, smoked whitefish, matzo-ball soup and chopped liver, are what makes TooJay’s popular. From the menu, try the potato pancakes, which are served with sour cream and apple sauce.
