So my mom is mourning the loss of Corky and Lenny's. My grandma was a pretty prominent member of the Jewish community and was very good friends with Corky. I grew up as that being the only option for Jewish food outside of the occasional Lue and Hy's which was around the corner from me in Akron.
I know they are being sued for labor wage issues, and thats not good, but its a sad day to me as that was part of my childhood for sure. Here in AZ, I frequent Chompies, which is good, but was sold 4 years ago to a corporation, so the neighborhood Jewish deli is starting to die a bit. Although a new Israeli restaurant did open up in my neigborhood that i am very excited to try some time.
