Pickles, smoked meat, and insight from the Baum in BernBaum’s, Fargo’s Nordic-Jewish lunch counter.

 
 

“[V]ery pretty, very generously seeded bagels at North Dakota's finest—and only—new wave Nordic-Jewish deli … go for the plain on your first visit, in order to admire the perfectly blistered exterior of one very fine bagel.”Food and Wine

“Maybe you’re craving a bagel with house-cured gravlax, lox, pickled fennel and microgreens, with a side of latke. You may assume this wouldn’t be possible in Fargo, where the Jewish population is fewer than 1,000, and more likely closer to 400 … as a Jewish New Yorker currently living in Chicago, I can now say that the best Jewish deli I’ve ever visited was BernBaum’s on Broadway … ”The New York Times

“BernBaum's is one of those places that seems to come out of nowhere to fill a hole in a culinary landscape.”—The Fargo Forum

“[M]y grandmothers would have loved BernBaums. One collected midcentury modern furniture; the other whipped up Jewish meals and desserts like nobody’s business. So I had to smile when I walked into Brett Bernath’s Madhaus, which has largely been taken over by the fabulous lunch counter run by his wife, Andrea Baumgardner.”—The Washington Post
