SHAPIRO'S DELI AIRPORT

Thursday, August 13, 2009 by Tracy Fiddler
Did you know the best kosher style food in Indianapolis is also being served at the Indianapolis International Airport?  Of course it is Shapiro's Deli!  If you are a ticketed traveler, you can still get the best corned beef in Indianapolis.  Okay, you can also get pastrami, roast beef, turkey and kosher style franks!  Just go to Shapiro's, near Gate B15 to order your Shapiro's sandwich.  We also offer our famous macaroni and cheese.  It doesn't matter if your flight leaves from Concourse A.  Once you have passed through security you are free to visit the shops and restaurants on either Concourse A or B.  Take a comforting piece of home with you on the flight. 
It's got to be better than "airline food". 

Shapiro's Past & Present Owners

Friday, July 31, 2009 by Brandy Ison
I asked some of our employees to share memories about our past and current owners.  Shapiro's has been the place to get Kosher Style Food in Indianapolis for over 100 years.  Without these great leaders, Shapiro's would not be the great deli that it is today.

 
Max Shapiro
Max would come in and bake all of his own items around 3:30 or 4:30am.  He would work right there with you and would be here from sunrise to sunset.  He took care of all of his employees and would teach you anything you wanted.  He was a great person and is truly missed by everyone.

Mort Shapiro
Mort would come in with a cigar and stock market book in his hand.  He would sit at the front table, smoke his cigar, and watch all of the employees through the mirrors.  He would do anything for his employees.  He was definitely a business man.  He, too, was a great person and is truly missed by everyone.

Brian Shapiro- Current Owner
Brian is a very giving person.  He helps out employees and customers just like they are family.  His door is always open.  He is very educated, holding multiple degrees.  He is very concerned and involved with the youth.  He is a great inspiration to all of us.

Shapiro's 1905

Wednesday, July 8, 2009 by Brandy Ison
After emigrating to America in 1903 from Odessa, Russia, Louis Shapiro opened a small grocery store in Downtown Indianapolis with his wife Rebecca and their eight children. Louis was a grocer by trade, previously operating the American Grocery Company in his homeland. The original downtown grocery, still located on South Meridian Street, was an 18-foot-wide space, where the Shapiro family called upstairs home. Sales of canned goods, pickles, mayonnaise, and kosher deli meats were brisk.  Now over 100 years later, the Indianapolis Deli is still going strong.


"BRISKET"

Wednesday, July 1, 2009 by Tracy Fiddler
There are probably not too many restaurants in downtown Indianapolis that even use the word "brisket" on their menu.  You can learn a lot about Kosher Style Food and the history of Jewish Food at this Indianapolis deli.  "Brisket" is a cut of meat from the breast or lower chest.  While all meat animals have a brisket, the term is most often used to describe beef or veal.  The brisket is made up of two separate muscles which are sometimes separated for retail cutting:  the lean "first cut" and the fattier "second cut". 

When you order brisket at Shapiro's you could be ordering corned beef brisket or roast beef brisket.  So don't be surprised if you order brisket and we ask you which kind....corned beef or roast beef?  Remember, it is just the cut.
