Tales From South Florida

Bill Monty Season 1 Episode 12

Text me your favorite South Florida memory.

Step into the bustling streets of South Florida, where the aroma of freshly baked bagels. Once upon a time, Corky's, Wolfie's, Pumpernik's, and Rascal House stood as icons of the region, where locals and luminaries alike gathered to savor the flavors of tradition.

From the glittering lights of Miami to the sandy shores of Miami Beach, these legendary delicatessens were more than just eateries; they were institutions woven into the fabric of the community. Celebrities rubbed elbows with locals, and tourists eagerly anticipated their pilgrimage to these culinary landmarks.

Join me and take a TALK down Memory Lane.

Picture yourself settling into a booth, the clink of cutlery and the murmur of conversation surrounding you. Pour yourself a Cel-Ray soda, indulge in a crispy latke, and don't forget to help yourself to the complimentary cole slaw and pickles.

As we reminisce about the delis from yesterday, let's celebrate the memories they created, the stories they shared, and the timeless flavors that continue to linger in our hearts.  It's a tribute to a bygone era, where every bite was infused with history, and every visit felt like coming home.

This is The Tale of the Delis from Yesterday.
