Nosh Local

Schreiber’s is your family’s favorite uncle. He’s got a heart of gold but no filter—which, combined with his love of cooking, makes him a hit at every party. He always tells it like it is and isn’t afraid of being blunt. To him, honesty is respect. He’s funny, too. He’s got a wry sense of humor, quick to crack-wise with a nudge and a wink.

His New York accent and no-nonsense way of talking make him seem rough around the edges, but make no mistake: he’d do anything for anyone. He shows his love through cooking and ensures everyone has enough to eat. He doesn’t just remember his regulars’ names—he knows their go-to orders and whatever family drama they bring to the counter.

He describes himself as non-religious but culturally Jewish. He has nothing but love and respect for his family’s Jewish heritage and honors it in his recipes (but, like, he doesn’t keep kosher). Food is his passion. He likes to futz with a dish until it’s just right. When you eat with him, you know you won’t leave hungry. It may not look fancy, but it’s damn good.
