Comment on New “Brookline Butcher” on its way? by JC

Very exciting stuff Mr. Naggar. Can’t wait to meat your new store!! Sounds to me like this could be a true neighborhood specialty butchery and beverage shop where we all can feel comfortable and very well taken care of. If that’s the case, I think people will really enjoy and feel good about being a part of what you are trying to build… By the way, what is the name?! You should nail that down!

Excellent location as well! Congrats in advance and best of luck!

while brookline butcher is the corporate name we have been working on the possibility of a trade name. we have a few to consider but have not finalized that yet.

we believe there is a demand for glatt kosher meat in boston and thats how we differ from the butcherie, they do not carry any fresh glatt kosher meat at all. we hope that having a nicely renovated store would enhance the customer experience.

Thoughts:
1) Brookline Butcher is a really weak name for this place. Sounds like a Boston Herald headline for some sociopath. Plus it’s too close to Butcherie. Come on now, you’ve got a new idea give it life with a new name. You want to a brand like Le Marais? Why not give it a name like Le Marais?

2) Interesting, the Boston Jewish Community never struck me as having upscale tastes. I wonder if that’s because we never have quality places to go, or if we never have quality places to go because there is no demand. Maybe a less fancy kind of place, a la Beacon Kosher, would do better? And better fill a need in the community?

Did you ever find any kosher pre-made biscuits (like pillsbury). I’ve been looking forever and have never had any success!! I have a friend who used to live in Colorado and he said he could get actual pillsbury with reliable hashgachah, but hasn’t seen it since he left Colorado.

Any idea why the matza you held up in the last photo was rejected?

Thanks for the pics. Working as a mashgiach in hotels you get a different feel for food preparations and the latest technology in kitchen appliances.

Shmura translates as “guarded”. The distinguishing quality of Shmura Matzah is the flour used. Where normal matzah flour is guaranteed to have not come into contact with water from the time it was milled, shmura flour is “guarded” from water from the time it is harvested.
