Jewish deli in Natick to be replaced by Jewish deli

Wicked Local Brookline reports the late Joan and Ed's in Sherwood Plaza will be replaced by an outlet of Brookline-based Zaftig's.

Landmark Natick deli to shut forever on Father's Day

The MetroWest Daily News reports the Fresser's Club comes to an end on June 20, when Joan and Ed retire.

Ed. note: I remember when the place was in Shoppers' World, back when that was a real mall. Even after the move to Natick, you'd often see Ed behind the counter - and Joan behind the cash register. Damn, now I'm hungry for a roast beef on rye.

Zaftig's does its part to reduce wait times

The Coolidge Corner landmark now serves bad food, which should help free up tables, Local Spice reports:

... One dish, a cheese/apple/bacon omelette was sent back to the kitchen with the waitress, while I somehow ate my Eggs Benedict (with wholly cooked eggs, btw), and left the hard-as-a-rock homefries on the plate.

Bleacher Bar is now ranking as my favorite Fenway hang out.
