MEET CARL AND LAURA

Saturday, June 25, 2011 by Tracy Fiddler
carl and lauraOn the left is Carl, a manager who has worked at Shapiro's Deli for 23 years.  He started as a busser, worked 9 years in the kitchen, and knows just about everything there is to know about the food, the building, the equipment, and the customers!  Carl is from Jackson, Kentucky, a good old boy who has more energy than most of the "young folks".  Carl NEVER misses a day of work and in fact, he comes in on holidays to make sure that none of our equipment takes a day off.  Most weekdays you will see Carl working the meat slicer, calling "young man" and "young lady" to everyone in line. 

On the right is Laura, who happens to be my lovely daughter.  She has worked at Shapiro's Deli downtown and in the Carmel deli for the last 6 years.  She is currently pursuing a degree in Psychology at Butler University and will be a senior in the coming academic year.  Laura is pretty quiet but super efficient.  She works part time in our office, along with serving customers as a Deli Clerk and prep person in our "salad" department.  Carl has known her since she was 6 years old!  We call him "uncle Carl" at my house and Laura has learned a lot from him.  They really work great together.

Hey, did you see those yummy cakes in the display case behind them?  You won't find any better cheesecakes in Indianapolis!  Come in for a cake and be sure to say "Hi" to Carl and Laura!
 

A BIRDS EYE VIEW

Wednesday, June 22, 2011 by Tracy Fiddler
This is a great photo taken by Sally Shapiro, showing the beginning of the serving line at our downtown deli.  It is a great view and represents the efforts of the bakers working throughout the night, along with the morning staff who comes in at 5:30 to begin preparations for the day.  Pots will be boiling in the kitchen with soups, meats, vegetables, and noodles; lettuce will be crisping in the sink; fruit will be washed and hand cut; cakes will be frosted; cheesecakes will be topped with whipped cream; rye bread will be baking; and the garlic dill pickles will be cut into spears before some of you have left your house in the morning.  This serving line will be emptied and filled many times in its 13 1/2 hour shift!  The dishes will be washed and sanitized many, many times throughout the day and evening.  The closing manager will put the restaurant "to bed" at night and then we will begin the process again each morning 363 days a year.  Thanks for coming to our house!  Please stop by again soon!

DON'T FORGET YOUR VALENTINE

Thursday, February 10, 2011 by Tracy Fiddler
Stop by Shapiro's anytime and pick up a delicious Cheesecake for your special Valentine.  We have Strawberry, Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Cherry, Blueberry, Oreo, Chocolate Chip and Plain.  You supply the champagne!  We also have some special Valentine cookies and an abundance of other confections for you to choose from.  Feel free to call ahead so we can have your order ready when you walk in the door.

We will be open normal hours all through the weekend and Monday night if you want to take your sweetheart out for a great meal.  The downtown Indianapolis deli is open until 8 p.m. and the Carmel deli is open until 9 p.m.  I hear the weather is supposed to be quite improved!


FOOTBALL PARTIES

Sunday, January 23, 2011 by Tracy Fiddler
The NFL season is nearly over, which makes me very sad.  Although the Colts will not be in the final championship game you can still watch the final games while enjoying some great food from Shapiro's.  Try a Deal Maker Nosh Tray (our famous meat and cheese tray) if you plan to watch the games with your friends and family.  This tray includes corned beef, peppered beef, salami and turkey, along with rye bread, egg buns, celery, carrots, olives, pepperoncinis, and grape tomatoes.  Choose from potato salad, baked beans or cole slaw for your side.  We even send the paper plates, napkins, forks, mustard and mayo!  Everyone can serve themselves and there is no clean up.

If you are more private and prefer to watch the game without a bunch of people around, just settle into the easy chair and enjoy any of your favorite deli sandwiches from Shapiro's Delicatessen.  Pair that with a potato pancake, macaroni & cheese, german potato salad, or any of our other delicious side dishes.  Enjoy that piece of strawberry cheesecake during the fourth quarter!  May I suggest pastrami on rye with swiss cheese and brown mustard?  A corned beef Reuben with thousand island dressing, swiss cheese and sauerkraut, grilled to perfection?  

Call ahead and we will have everything ready before kickoff!
