As somebody of German Parentage, grew up and there was always wurst in the house. When I was young…read morewent to the pork store with my Mom, I would get a piece of bologna or a cocktail frank as a treat. It didn't matter whether we went to Schaller and Weber, Karl Ehmer (we had 4 in the area), or to Forest Pork Store we always had wurst for sandwiches, bratwursts, and franks available. One by one the pork stores disappeared from my area like the bakeries did before. First Schaller and Weber, then one by one until the Karl Ehmer up by the factory on Fresh Pond Rd along with the factory. They sold their names. Forest used their store to expand their factory. I got lucky for a brief period because Zum Stamtisch created Stamstisch Pork Store and carried Forrest's product and Ehmer branded product. I could get touristan wurst, braunsweiger liver wurst, and a bologna chub plus whatever else I wanted. Sadly this pork store is set to close as of March 1, 2025. If Stamstisch has no plans for this space it's already set up as a pork store. It would be nice to see Forest come to Glendale close to their old neighborhood. We used to travel from this area up to the Forest Ave store.

However, I still come here every once in a while specifically for the food counter. This review is for their Friday special, Fish & Chips. I have suggested to the servers that they should sell it everyday, and I plan to continue advising them. It's a top seller and everyone can't seem to get enough. They regularly sell out by early evening. This past Friday, I stopped by again for this wonderful delicacy that sells by the pound. The large piece of cod I got was only a little over $8. Crispy and crunchy, though slightly oily, this tender piece of fried fish hit the spot. Don't forget to ask for the tartar sauce and malt vinegar. Protip: Tell the servers that you will wait for a fresh batch and they will honor that request. They constantly sell out and make a new batch every 15-30 minutes during peak hours.

Queens, NY (Astoria + Ridgewood) - I seem to be on a (sausage) roll, so for my 300th review, allow…read moreme to highlight a deli & butcher shop that's a beloved New York institution to those in the know, but not yet a secret that's out to the masses. When I was in the Astoria store earlier this month, I overheard an obviously epicurean gentleman who spent some time in Austria (with presumably some appreciation for well-crafted old world charcuterie) share that he had come down from Boston and made a special trek out here to experience this Mecca of meats in person. I myself came all the way from the distant shores of NJ that day, enduring horrendous holiday traffic down FDR Dr. and across Queensboro Bridge, but likewise, finally made this pilgrimage after I became addicted to their superlative pork cracklings (chicharron / čvarci / jumări), which is the best on the planet! It's weighed by the pound and the prime time to get it fresh & hot out of the fryer is late morning, though best to come earlier on the weekend. 90% of the products are made in-house, and one can find a dizzying array of cured and smoked meats, multiple varieties of bacon, prosciutti (including hard-to-find duck and lamb!), sausages, salami, pâtés, purées, cheeses, steaks and chops, as well as pickled and jarred foods, canned delicacies, and shelves of dried goods and snacks from Europe. The founders came over from the Balkan region and likewise the counter staff are well-versed in multiple tongues (Serbo-Croatian, Romanian, Hungarian, as well as Spanish) and can fluidly navigate between ethnic product names according to what the customer is asking for. The staff are welcoming, warm, and helpful, and will offer you samples of everything to try. We stocked up on our favorites and also picked up some new goodies: - Chicharrones (always!) - Tarska bacon (a house speciality) - Rolled garlic bacon - Some other bacon (cos yes it's the land of bacon galore) - Duck prosciutto - Various sausages - Goose & pork liver pâté - Liver - Szalonna (pork fat) - Brânză de burduf, a handmade cheese that's a traditional salty Romanian cheese originated from Transylvania. (Muncan is very popular with the local Romanian community) I've always said Queens is foodie heaven and is worth a trip from the boroughs if not the tri-state, and Muncan is definitely a destination stop!
