    I will never forget Scott Goldshine and the way he handled a situation for me a few years ago. I had a big catering order for a special occassion. I went to pick up the order the morning of the event and there was an issue or miscommunication and it turned out the store never had my order. I got to the store at 1030AM thinking I was picking up food for 50 people for an event at noon and it turned out they didn't even know about it. Scott personally apologized for the mishap and promised me that not only would they be able to resolve it and fulfill the order in the next 90 minutes but that they would deliver it 25 blocks away and set up the spreads and everything for us. Scott was a man of his word and took off half the price for the stress of the situation without prompting. Businesses need a good product to be successful, but they need good people to succeed. Thanks Scott and all of the Zabars family!

The fact that so many of his employees have been with him for 20, 25, 30+ years, that tells you something.

    Started watching from Omakase, then I moved on to Mise en Place, Smoke Point, and now The Experts, I gained so much insight about the food business from the chef, owner, and business standpoint. It is undeniable that these business are very demanding, physically and mentally, and it was really eye-opening to know more about not just the food, but the people that worked their asses off to serve their food impeccably EVERY SINGLE TIME.
    I gotta say, Eater, I enjoyed reading recipes when I was a child, but this channel gives me the determination and the reason why to get into the food industry. I am in Taiwan, at the moment, working part-time as a line cook in an up and coming restaurant while finishing my degree, and every time I feel tired, or down and under, watching these videos, even on repeat, gives me the drive to keep going, and eventually, find the reason to love the work I'm doing. My hope is to able to open a restaurant I could call my own as well, and even though it is still far off, hopefully the restaurant could be featured on this channel!!!
    Thank you, the Eater team, for all the amazing content you've given all of us to enjoy.

    A great indicator of a business's quality is the longevity of its employees. When people choose to stay with a business for this many years, it's often because the owners genuinely care about their wellbeing and go the extra mile to support them. These businesses not only foster a great workplace but also step up in extraordinary ways, such as helping with significant life events like weddings or medical emergencies, costs that would otherwise fall entirely on the employees. This level of commitment reflects a culture of respect and family , creating a workplace where people feel valued and supported.

    I have to say This place is legendary one of my favorite places in NYC … by chance I meet Mr Zabar when I was a teenager delivering medications for Apthorp Pharmacy in the late 80’s I didn’t Know he was the owner until he offered me a bagel
    Then I connected his name to the place ,
    just need to say the quality the atmosphere the staffs work ethic Truly inspiring honestly ,The only place that can beat H&H Bagels. Mr Zabar a super humble gentleman a generous, tipper, a true New York legend have been a fan ever since .

      You can't promise that. Sydney is tiny. New York City is the most populated city in the third largest country in the world. 211k for Sydney vs 1.69 million for Manhattan where Zabars is or 8.8 million for New York City. Even Sydney Metro is 529k vs 19 million for New York Metro. The entire country of Australia is around the size of NYC Metro.

    Grew up in Queens, NYC when the bagels were 6 cents. Finally landed on the upper West Side and Sunday mornings made my religious pilgrimage to Zabars. Miss those 1954 prices!!!

      Balducci's was a great place in the West Village where we lived from 1972 for 30 years. Unfortunately, Balducci's at 6th Ave closed around 1999 and was taken over by a corporation. After that we went to Zabar's as often as possible, but Balducci's was great because it was only a few minutes walking from our home.

      ​@@sammiller6631 According to Wikipedia, "When the store moved to Sixth Avenue it was owned by two of Louis and Maria's children, Andy (and his wife Nina and Grace (and her husband, Joe Doria). (A third child, Charles, was a physician; his son, Louis B., was active in managing the store.) News accounts describe disputes between the three siblings and their father Louis. In 1985 Grace and Joe left the company to start Grace's Marketplace on the Upper East Side. Louis B. left in the late 1980s and became partner at Agata & Valentina, another specialty grocer on Upper East Side."
      "With their daughters uninterested in taking over the store, Andy and Nina sold in 1999 for $26.5 million to Sutton Place Gourmet, a Maryland-based company. Sales for the combined company were more than $130 million per year."
      "The flagship store in on Sixth Avenue in Greenwich Village closed in January 2003 but a branch store, on West 66th Street, remained open."
      "In November 2003, the company was purchased by an investment group led by Bear Stearns Merchant Banking."

    I worked there after high school many years ago (Scott was there then and so was Millie). The best education I ever had. Murray Klein, who was the managing partner at that time was a legend - tough, smart, and fair.
