| Our story begins with Yanah. Yanah was raised in restaurants all her life under the watchful eyes of her parents, Brent & Joanne. Jewish food was the cuisine she grew up on. Lox and Cream Cheese on Bagels, Olives, Halva, Blintzes, Knishes, Potato Latkes, Matzo Ball Soup, and so on. Yanah met her perfect match. A man named Lars and they fell madly in love. They were married. But sadly, Lars didn't know a thing about Jewish cuisine. So he spent a couple of years with the family business, "BRENT'S RESTAURANT & DELICATESSEN" in Kailua, Hawaii. Pretty soon, he could be seen noshing a big Pastrami Sandwich and Kosher Pickle, drooling over the Grilled Reuben, and smacking Olives with his Lox & Cream Cheese on a Bagel. He learned the art of "Proper Omelet Making" and became dis-satisfied with anything less. Lars and Yanah both realized that this thing called a "New York Deli" is misunderstood. The word "Deli" can be seen everywhere now, and is not a proper representation of the authentic experience you might have in New York City. They turned to Yanah's father, Brent Brody, "The expert!!!" He has over 50 years experience in opening and running authentic Jewish Style Delicatessens & Restaurants. Every restaurant he has opened, or assisted in opening has been a huge success. Now Lars and Yanah own the first restaurant of their very own. Much like the menus found at "Brent's", in Kailua, "Brent's" in L.A., "Brother's", in Ashland, or "CJ'S" in Honolulu. "Brodski's" has the genuine cuisine of any legitimate NY deli and restaurant started by, "The expert!!!" How did we come up with the name, "Brodski's," you may ask? While Brody is the family name of today, Brodski was the original name of Great Grandpa Samuel Brodski. He came on a boat from Poland and changed his name to Brody, so that it would sound more "American." Back to the good old name, back to the good old ways of serving food. Authentic, Genuine, Real Good Noshing!!! |
