Brown Derby in Montreal

[Ed Sieb <sieb...>]

Speaking of Yiddish memories....

A landmark in the Montreal Jewish community is no more.
The "Brown Derby Deli"  has gone bankrupt.  More info:

A typical Jewish Deli,  Friday nights would reveal a line up of Jewish
business-
men  sitting at the counter, enjoying supper. Every Friday, it was "Boiled
Flanken  in-the-Pot". Along with the plate of flanken, was the requisite
Seltzer-bottle.   It was particularly amusing watching the "greps-wave":
Each
diner giving a little greps,  and the reflexive little twitch of the body.
Urp-urp-urp
down the line of diners at the counter.  Oy, t'sis git!
"And for desert, ve haff a choice: prunes, apple sauce, Jell-O, or a verreh
nice roly-poly!"

Brown Derby, we'll miss ya!
