The government shutdown in October makes life hard, but Aukie's keeps these government employees well fed!

Aukie's out in full force for the Stanford v. Washington Tailgate

Elite 8 - Great Fun!

Our Deli stand at the District 52 Little Leauge Tourney - Round of Elite 8 was a huge success and tons of fun! 

Thank you very much to the Palo Alto Little League tourney organizers for inviting us to the event this year.  Good Luck to the rest of the teams in the tournament!

2011 Little League All-Star Tournament, Palo Alto, CA

Aukie's will have the Pastrami and Corned Beef stand at the D52 Little League All-Star Tournament at Middlefield Ballpark.  We will be out there for the round of Elite 8 on July 5th and 6th.  Please be sure to stop by to grab yourself an authentic deli sandwich. 

If you say "Elite 8" when you order a sandwich, I will give you a dollar off the price of a sandwich.

Aukie's salutes Father's Day!

We are happy to provide our customers with gifts for Father's Day.  Dad, you deserve it!  Sit back, watch a ballgame, and enjoy our Pastrami...

Palo Alto Little League 2011 City Championships

Unfortunately, we are in a rain delay for the Palo Alto Little League 2011 City Championships for the Major League.  Hopefully, we will resume play soon so you can grab Pastrami sandwiches from the snack shack at Middlefield Ballpark.

Deli Summit: The Renaissance

Deli Summit: The Renaissance was at the Berkeley JCC this week, and it was a really great event.  All of the participants were really interesting, and I learned quite a bit.  I definitely feel motivated and more confident to create Aukie's small patch pastrami.  It was just fantastic to meet all the panelists:

* Peter Levitt, Saul's Restaurant and Deli, Berkeley
* Noah Bernamoff, Mile End Deli, Brooklyn
* Ken Gordon, Kenny & Zuke's Deli, Portland
* Evan Bloom, Wise Sons Deli, SF pop-up
* Moderator: Joan Nathan, Author of ten cookbooks including Jewish Cooking in America and Quiches, Kugels and Couscous: My Search for Jewish Cooking in France. She is a regular contributor to The New York Times Food Arts Magazine and Tablet Magazine

Although we agreed to disagree, the spirit of community building was certainly the main theme of the gathering.
