Kenny & Zuke's Deli Bar Brings Bagels, Sandwiches, Spirits And Desserts To N. Williams

Kenny & Zuke's brings their popular sandwiches and bagels to the east side with a brand new concept, Kenny & Zuke's Deli Bar, opening on Sept. 12 at 3901 N. Williams Ave. Beginning at 7 a.m. the restaurant will serve bagels and cream cheeses, breakfast sandwiches, Ristretto coffee and espresso drinks, sandwiches and salads. From 4 p.m. to midnight they will offer a robust cocktail menu created by Jamal Hassan, who runs the bar program at Ox and Robin Barnett as well as an expanded dinner menu that includes new bar food items such as a "Jew"cuterie board and soft pretzel sticks. An extensive dessert menu featuring pies, ice cream, cookies and specialty items such as Mexican chocolate rice pudding and profiteroles will also be available throughout the day.

"Kenny & Zuke's Deli Bar is a hybrid, pulling together favorite elements from our two current restaurants- sandwiches from our deli and bagels from Bagelworks and then an extension of our dessert and bar program," says Kenny & Zuke's owner Ken Gordon. "N. Williams has become such a hotspot for quality restaurants and bars, it's an ideal location for our first east side restaurant and we really look forward to becoming part of the community." A full menu is available at www.kennyandzukes.com.

About Kenny & Zuke's
Opened in October 2007 by founder Ken Gordon, Kenny & Zuke's is a Jewish-style delicatessen featuring many housemade ingredients from pastrami and corned beef to pickles, bagels and rye bread. After starting a successful venture at the Hillsdale Farmer's Market selling pastrami, Ken began offering Saturday brunch at Ken's restaurant, Ken's Place. He renamed the venture Kenny & Zuke's Delicatessen and now has three locations in Portland, including Kenny & Zuke's Bagelworks and Kenny & Zuke's Deli Bar, which opens on Sept. 12, 2012. Gourmet Magazine called the deli "One of the top 10 delis in the country," they were featured in The New York Times Dining Section in "Can the Jewish Deli be Reformed" and The Oregonian named the Pastrami Burger one of the city's "Best Bites." Ken Gordon is writing a weekly column for The Oregonian, "Diary of a Diabetic Chef", which chronicles his journey to reverse his recent diagnosis of Type II Diabetes, the old fashioned way through healthy eating and exercise. Kenny & Zuke's Deli Bar is located at 3901 N. Williams Ave., Portland, Ore., open from 7 a.m. to midnight and serves breakfast, lunch, happy hour, dinner and dessert.
