  • Is Miami's best NY Jewish deli restaurant in a mostly Cuban neighborhood in Hialeah? For this Florida Foodie Vlog, I head to the legendary delicatessen restaurant Kush by Stephen's to find out with a classic pastrami sandwich, latkes and reminisce about Rascal House, Wolfie Cohens and do my best man vs food takedown.

      I will have to hit up some delis over there for sure. Many have gone out of business unfortunately like Rascal house but others have popped up. Kush claims to be the oldest surviving in Miami since '54

    • @marcuswelby921
      @marcuswelby921 2 роки тому

      When you drive Thru Ritzy Bal Harbour you will encounter Surfside which will have your favorite Jewish Delis better than run down Hialeah. If u want Real Authentic Jewish food then visit the follow: Josh’s deli, Kosherland, Rustiko, and Goldstein’s Prime.

    Cel-ray, a pickle (should be kosher dill, not a cucumber that sorta knows someone), a geschwohlene hand-cut sandwich on rye with some mustard. Yeah, that's the ticket. The latke looks...eh...but nischt iz nischt. Now, a Jewish neighborhood embracing Latin culture? Yeah. The whole friggin' borscht belt during the late 50s/early 60s. Looks like growing up.

    I've ordered from this place on Uber eats but never went inside the deli. this video has made me want to go now.
    omg the Frita burger is AMAZING. I usually go to the Kush in wynwood and it's amazing. idk how you eat ur burger but I usually get my Frita burger medium cooked because if it get it completely cooked it's dry. and then I notice some Kush places taste a tad different from each other ... sometimes. but overall the same. I think there is a kush in coral gables or down that way, can't remember exactly. yeah the Frita burger is amazing. I recommend it. I know it's about 15 or 16.00 for the Frita burger and some fries. might be pricy for some people especially because it doesn't come with a drink. but it's worth it... imo.

As a kid we bought knishes from a cart near our elementary school. We passed the money thru the chain link fence. He bent the knish and served it thru the open chain links lol. Thanks for sharing your cel-ray and pastrami with me 🥪

    out here in LA we have Cantors which is famous Hollywood 24-hour eatery- but we live in the South Bay and good Jewish delis are few and far between. luckily we have Giuliano's; an Italian one in Gardena and the Hat franchise, mostly in Orange county.

    Very nice review. Gotta say though that the bill surprised me. Nearly 30 bucks for 1 person for a sandwich. Kosher deli's up in NYC back in the day were very affordable. Now they are a rare specialty so maybe that's why the prices are pretty high. We used to get mile high round knishes for a buck or 2. Friends and I would sometimes eat them as a meal as we were poor students. They were incredible. There was more competition back in the 70's and 80's among Kosher deli's and they all had delicious grilled hot dogs. My father told me back in the 50's he'd get an entire meal for well under 1 dollar! Literally pocket change could buy you a meal at a Kosher deli and many other places.

    • @BarefootVlogger
      @BarefootVlogger  2 роки тому +1

      Those were the days my friend! Believe it or not Hartley I thought it was reasonable compared to some others. I mean think about it, I spent $16 on a sub at Jersey Mikes...Jersey Mikes! lol so between the Latkes I had and a soda these days under $30 for all that isn't bad.

    • @hartleyhartley3552
      @hartleyhartley3552 2 роки тому

      ​@@BarefootVlogger That's a fair point. Never been to Mike's but that is an insane price for probably mostly bread. If you took the filling out of the sub, you'd still be hungry. It's interesting about the latkes. I always got either the knish or fries. Kosher deli's always had very good and thick cut fries. I tried latkes a few times and they were not as good as home-made. There was a place in NYC called Pastrami King on Queens Blvd that was jammed with customers daily. I really wasn't a big pastrami guy but when I say they had the best fries I've ever had, they really did. Again I would go there sometimes just for an order of fries and 10-15 ketchups to go. The fries were well done, thick as can be, and unbelievably soft and moist inside. This placed closed down years ago yet I can't forget the fries.
