Kosher grocer, eatery revolve around family life
Mayeer Schwarzbaum, 19, kicked around an idea with friends of having a grocery store in the Des Moines area that would specialize in kosher foods. Not long after that conversation, he was the owner of not just a small grocery, but a kosher restaurant as well.
Kosher Express Restaurant & Grocery opened Oct. 31 at 2687 N.W. 86th St. in Urbandale, behind Vision Park.
Schwarzbaum's father is Rabbi Aaron Schwarzbaum of Beth El Jacob Synagogue in Des Moines. The Schwarzbaums are Orthodox Jews and they do not mix dairy and meat products in preparation or in eating.
The restaurant serves all vegetarian foods. Entrees range from $5.50 for macaroni and cheese to $12.95 for salmon. No meat is cooked in the restaurant, although it serves fish and soy meat products in its pepper steak dish, soy burgers and soy pepperoni and sausage on the pizza.
The grocery sells kosher meats and other certified kosher products.
