Caplansky, the owner of Caplansky’s Delicatessen, has announced on his blog that he won’t be serving any smoked meat for a week. “I am a victim of my own excess. Or lack of excess.” is what he says about his meat stock. Caplansky has decided to wait for his smoked meat to properly cure for “about a week”. He’s also stated that he’s in the process of ordering a new smoker “at a great expense to management”. Best of luck to you for this week, Zane.
