"Down the block, there's an antique shop
And something in my…read morehead said, "Stop," so I walked in"
(Taylor Swift)
What do you get when the worlds of Polish food and antiquing collide?
Well, you'll get something like the Two Chefs Antiques and Artisan Food Market!
Ronald Cornell and Alexandar "Sasha" Scherla--better known as the Two Chefs--have been cooking in the Enfield area for years, (Old Country Banquet Hall and Deli in the former Polish National Home, Smoke BBQ, and Belvedere Deli). Their Enfield shop brings together the signature products from those ventures, including Pierogi Queen pierogi, smoked meats, pastrami, kielbasa, brisket, babka, paczki, crepes, rye bread, plus local bakery items, European sweets, and pickles.
Cooking is done off-site, primarily at Belvedere, and sold in freezer cases here inside a 5.000 square foot Art Gallery and Shop alongside, antiques, clocks, artwork, vintage, pottery, glass, comic books, postcards, records, toys, books, clothing, ceramics, figurines, lamps and other collectibles of every description.
This is not a thrift store, so pricing is not rock-bottom, if you catch my drift. But the sheer volume of their inventory makes this a fun shopping experience to wander around and browse, like we did.
And if you don't see exactly what you're looking for, well....never mind because you just might find that special something for your special someone in their on-line auctions
