Congratulations to Jerry Donaldson of Greenfield, Indiana, who won a $50 gift card from Shapiro's Deli! Jerry is a member of our email club. He read in our May 2010 newsletter that we were accepting submissions from our email club members. Just tell us a memory of a Mother's Day that you spent at Shapiro's and tell us why is was special to you. Jerry wrote a very nice account of a Mother's Day that he remembered at Shapiro's and was awarded a $50 gift card! Below is Jerry's story:
"The story that comes to mind is when we as a family finally got her to go with us to eat out...she always preferred to stay home and cook for us at a get-together on Mom's day. She would always turn us down to take her out for that day. Finally, after hearing us talk about Shapiro's for years, she relented and allowed the 5 of us to go to lunch/dinner at the deli. I can remember what she had to eat, even after 22 years...she had liver and onions and mac and cheese, which she enjoyed to the fullest. It was the greatest day. The sad part of the story is it was the last Mother's Day we would spend together...she passed away 3 months later at the age of 72. Rest in Peace Mom."
Our Carmel Sandwich of the Month for May will be the very popular Peppered Beef. Get a full Shapiro sized sandwich for only $6.00 Monday to Friday during the month. Try it on rye, white, wheat, sourdough, egg bun, kaiser roll, onion bun, flaky croissant, or one of our famous bagels! This delicious meat was featured on The Food Network's THE BEST THING I EVER ATE, and was offered as the favorite of Food Network host Marc Summers, an Indianapolis native. Stop by and see us in May. Hopefully the rains are now over and we an enjoy some sunshine as we gear up for racing in Indy! This offer is valid for dine in only, not valid with any other offers or on holidays.
This coming weekend is the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in downtown Indianapolis. The race starts Saturday morning, April 16th at IUPUI. Believe it or not, this is the 20th anniversary of the race in central Indiana! One of our employees, Norma, is a breast cancer survivor and will be walking in support of the cause on Saturday. Shapiro's is open at 6:30 a.m. for breakfast. We have eggs any way you like them, french toast, corned beef hash, oatmeal and fresh fruit, biscuits and gravy, beef and turkey bacon, and breakfast potatoes. Stop by before or after the race. It should be a great event day in Indianapolis!
It is Women's NCAA Final Four weekend in Indianapolis! Playing in their home state will be the NOTRE DAME IRISH taking on the Connecticut Huskies. Games will be played at Conseco Fieldhouse, which is just minutes from Shapiro's Deli Downtown. There are MANY, MANY other activities going on throughout the weekend before the championship game on Tuesday evening.
The BUTLER BULLDOGS will be playing in Houston on Saturday and I'm sure there will be a hush in the city of Indianapolis as everyone watches this game. My daughter happens to attend Butler and will be working at Shapiro's on Saturday - keeping one eye on the game. We will definitely have the restaurant television tuned in to the Butler game!
Whether you are in Indy enjoying the Women's Final Four or relaxing at home to watch the Bulldogs, put Shapiro's Deli in your plans. We are open and cooking lots of kosher style comfort food for you to nosh on. Order a party tray and have a basketball party. You just need to provide the big screen TV! We will do the rest.
Either way you win! We offer a beautiful "mini" version of a few of our popular cakes. Featured is our scrumptious Black Forest Cake. We also offer Chocolate Cake, German Chocolate Cake, Carrot Cake, and Plain Cheesecake. $19.25 at our Indianapolis or Carmel location.
Stop by and pick one up before the Butler Bulldogs game this afternoon! GO BUTLER!!!
MEATLOAF!! Freshly prepared from scratch every day and slowly baked to perfection. Shapiro's recipes date back to the early 1900's and we maintain that original goodness in everything we do. Sometimes we run out of meatloaf at midday because we sold all of our lunch portions and the dinner meatloaf's are in the oven. If you know you need a meatloaf dinner in the late afternoon just call ahead and we'll make sure to save a portion for you.
The same holds true for any menu item that you crave. Do you love the jalapeno bagels and need a dozen for the weekend? Just call ahead and we will make sure to have what you need.
Thanks to everyone who celebrated St. Patrick's Day at Shapiro's Delicatessen. Irish or not, it was a GREAT day for corned beef and cabbage.

Thank you Mr. Smith for sending it in. No kidding, I am deleting his first name for privacy sake. Please come back and visit when you can!
"I'm so depressed. I saw the Food Network thing where Mark spotlighted your peppered beef sandwich. For my job I had to move to Mississippi. To say i miss Shapiros is not an understatement, it's more akin to missing a long lost loved one. I love Shapiros. I used to eat lunch there at least once a week. I would have eaten there every day, but it's not cheap you know, but it shouldn't be. Every time you eat at Shapiros it should be expensive and you should remember it. The meat is piled high, the meatloaf is better than any your mom ever made, the bread is crunchy and tender at the same time and when you pay the price it doesn't matter because you are too busy staring at your tray to worry about it at all. Shapiros is to lunch as Peyton Manning is to winning."
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!
This is a very nice article in the January 31st IBJ about heading to Shapiro's Deli in Carmel either before or after a show at the new Palladium! Thanks IBJ! We happen to agree with you!
Delicious deli ideal for pre- or post-show nosh | Indianapolis Business Journal | IBJ.com

Looking for a place with a great Children's Menu in Indianapolis? Shapiro's Deli has always enjoyed the fact that generations of families come to nosh together on special occasions. Children 12 years and younger are invited to order from our Children's Menu. We offer great kosher style sandwiches in a child's portion along with one side dish for $3.95 plus tax. If they aren't ready for a full meal you can get just the entree for only $2.95 plus tax. They can also choose a hot dog, corn dog, spaghetti, chilled cheese sandwich or chicken. There are plenty of sides to choose from too - macaroni and cheese, jello, applesauce, potato salad, fruit cup, green beans and many others. People tell us every day how they used to come to Shapiro's when they were kids and it remains a part of their fondest memories of family and good food. So bring the kids next time!

As a new member of Weight Watchers, I just want to tell everyone that you CAN enjoy good food even when you are watching your weight. If you are looking for a place to nosh in Indianapolis, stop by Shapiro's Deli. There are plenty of options for those who are following the new Points Plus Weight Watcher program. We have lots of fresh fruit - which are now ZERO points! I have often enjoyed a 6 ounce chopped steak dinner with green beans, onions, and a side of fruit. This is a 10 point meal, which leaves plenty of room for the rest of your day if you are on the 29 minimum daily points. Our sandwiches are approximately 6 1/2 ounces of meat. Look up the points value in your Pocket Guide for the meat you choose. Feel free to order a sandwich with no bread if that works for you. Another favorite of mine is the made-from-scratch vegetable soup. One bowl is approximately 6 points. With two packets of Saltine crackers you only spend 8 points total on this filling and healthy meal. There are plenty of salads to choose from with fat-free dressing options. It costs me a few extra points, but I frequently have the Caesar salad with chicken for lunch. There is about 4 ounces of chicken, about 1/4 cup of swiss cheese, and a small amount of croutons. These all have point values in your Pocket Guide. If you are having breakfast we offer Egg Beaters or Egg Whites, which are a healthy alternative to whole eggs. It is a challenge to work at one of the best delis in Indianapolis, but thanks to the kosher style food choices I just have to make wise choices. I will leave the dessert choice up to you! You'll have to figure out whether or not you can fit this into your program. Good luck to everyone!
