3oz of grass fed beef is not a Pastrami sandwich!

I do not know, but this just annoys me.. Organics, hand-crafted meat redefine Jewish delis ...What do you think?

As everyone knows Aukie's makes small batch all-natural anti-biotic free Pastrami with briskets from Harris Ranch Beef Company.  We use the finest ingredients available to us, and we promote homemade hand-crafted foods.  But, c'mon!  3oz of grass fed beef is not a Pastrami sandwich.  There is not enough marbling in the fat of a grass fed piece of beef to produce the right flavor during a nice long light smoke!  Also, grass fed beef tastes different!

Well, I am going up to Berkeley to raise hell this thursday!  3oz pastrami sandwiches seem un-american to me!

Better than Ever..

Things are looking better than ever as you can see from the picture below.  These two perfect pastramis are made from all-natural antibiotic free briskets from Harris Ranch in California.

Aukie's has various platter sizes for sale, and we are always available to cater your next gathering of friends.

Aukie's makes a Dentist smile

Last week, I brought sandwiches and salads to my dentist and her staff.  They wanted a treat for lunch so they asked me if I could come by with Hot Pastrami sandwiches and salads.  They were so happy and the receptionist said the sandwiches were "THE BOMB".  Here is a picture of my dentist.  She is very traditional so I was happy to see her "pearly whites" when she smiled.  I sure wish she got modern equipment and would give me novocaine when she drills...she is very traditional.

Who is Aukie?

Why are we called Aukie's Deli Meats? 
The kosher meat market, S. Blumenthal & Sons, thrived and was expanded to a larger space in 1947. Aukie loved talking with the customers. The kosher hotels and camps throughout New England became their top customers. People loved to meet at the butcher shop, and it became a central piece of the fabric in the Jewish community through the 1950s, 60s and 70s.   Learn more >>>

Palo Alto Little League Opening Day - April 2, 2011

Aukie's will have the Pastrami stand in full operation this weekend for the Palo Alto Little League opening day.  We will be serving Pastrami, Corned Beef and Turkey sandwiches with free pickles.  We will have melted swiss and Reubens as available options for your sandwich.  Our stand will be right next to the snack shack behind the backstop at Middlefield Ballpark.  Be sure you stop by to enjoy your opening day with a Hot Pastrami sandwich. 
Best of luck to all the teams and kids who are competing this year!

Braving the elements

Last weekend, I catered a film wrap party for a movie being shot at Half Moon Bay, California.  It was further proof that I can set up "shop" to serve my Pastrami in any corner of the world.  I found a spot right on the beach that was out of the wind, and started up my stove to sling Pastrami, Corned Beef and Turkey sandwiches.  Of course, I offered melted swiss, reubens and pickles. 

The best part of this event, besides being on the beach in Northern California, were the fresh salads that I made for the cast.  Aukie's presented "Primanti Brothers" style cole slaw, vegan(tofu bacon) german potato salad, greek salad with feta cheese, and a roasted squash vegetable salad all to rave reviews.  It was a really fun day, and I think the entire cast left a few pounds heavier!
