& rib of celery. I like outside chicken skin crisp, but stuff inside chicken cavity seems to help keep flesh moist. Reason #2 (and most important) THIS IS THEY WAY BUBBE MADE IT FOR SHABBOS! Trust me, you don’t want to...

I love latkes...but I am not Jewish (no bubbe to make them for me). Where are the best places for traditional latkes?

-speaking Bubbe from Brooklyn, that this is the real deal. I’m still in a state of shock. I ordered some for delivery (first time trying Greenblatt’s) because I have Strep throat, and now I’m miraculously cured!...

Bubbe's brand in the refrigerated case at TJ’s. The best bread & butter pickles I’ve had. Exemplary.

Adam: I’m with you, lamenting for some of bubbe's food all in one deli. And I still haven’t found it! The best knishes (and apple strudel) are still at Yonah Shimmel, Houston and 2nd Avenue. Way better than Knish Nosh...

- as portions are huge. Maybe the food’s not great, but it’s definitely evocative of your Eastern European bubbe's kitchen. Granted, my bubbe never actually had a bottle of schmaltz on the table, but the chopped liver...

for 15 minutes – deelish!). So, side dishes, appetizers, condiments. Maybe a chopped chicken liver. Something handed down from Bubbe's Bubbe that might work well with the bread? Thanks in advance.

, IMO, at Uncle Lou, down from Bubb's, and at Jockey (which is right next to Indian Garden/Mysore Woodlands on Cass). Mexican is fairly weak out there, but Asi Mi Mexico off of 75th in Woodridge is pretty good with a wide menu:...

My go-to brisket recipe was inspired by my Bubbe's... I had no idea that all those years she was just adding horseradish and cherry preservers to her chili sauce, but then I’ve never been one for taking the easy road out....

Joan & Ed’s in Natick are pretty good – also not up to homemade. But how do you even pretend to make latke’s if you don’t use shmaltz? You can all them potato pancakes – maybe even potatoe pancakes...

I was excited for something other than Artie’s in the neighborhood, but I’m not certain how closely Executive Chef Servando Galeano recreates Bubbe's kitchen.

your bubbe might make or you’d get at Gelson’s. Moist, well-seasoned, falling off the bone. Yet it worked well with the bbq sauce (love the warm sauce they serve). Mac ‘n’ cheese wasn’t amazing but...

Bubb's was closed by board of health yet (obviously) reopened, perhaps with better standards. I don’t understand many of your choices. Consider these: Blue Ribbon Little Owl Smiths The Harrison Red Cat David Burke and Donatella

in the Himalayas, no? My Jewish bubbe (an Arizonan) used to make us “cheese-crisps.” Even when I was like, five, that name used to make me cringe ... it somehow seemed supremely inauthentic. Then I went to El Torero...

chow-worthy Kosher meal ain’t very easy to find anywhere but your Bubbe's (grandmother’s) kitchen.
