• OUR STORY

    1900's ...

    The knish was brought over to America in the early 1900's by Eastern European immigrants. Potato was the main filling and they utilized a simple pastry shell.

     

    FAMILY RECIPE ... (watch video)

    Based on an old family recipe, the Wachtler Family founded Brooklyn Knish, Inc. in 2008.
    Bonnie Wachtler took her old family recipe and started applying new and different fillings to bring to the market one of the most delicious comfort foods you can experience.

     

    FRESH ...

    All Brooklyn Knish products are baked fresh and contain no preservatives or additives. We now make over twenty varieties, and we are constantly trying out new filling ideas (suggestions are welcome). Our knish can be eaten cold, room temperature, warmed in a microwave, or heated in an oven. They can be refrigerated or frozen for later uses. Brooklyn Knish is available for parties, as appetizers (one or two bites) or our regular size.

  • SQUARE KNISHES SUCK!

    Square machine-made knishes suck. Yep I said it. If you grew up eating square knishes, the corn dog of knishes, I’m sorry to say, you don’t know knishes.

    Hey, hey! Stop with your New York attitude. I have one too!

    Yes you are wrong. As much as you think you know knishes, you don’t. You just don’t.

    The square, fried, flat, doorstop-shaped knishes were made popular by the many hotdog vendors in New York. They were an easily fried, mass produced, easily prepared version of the traditional Jewish deliciousness.

    Now I get that some people like a hot dog over a steak, but those people are idiots. Are you feeling the attitude?

    If you are a non-believer, I understand. You just went to the wrong places growing up. It’s all you know. Let me prove it to you. Let me show you the way. A hand-made, fresh baked, ROUND Knish.

    Side note: The shape is not nearly as important as the technique and process of making a Knish. There are versions that are hand-made and wrapped into square or oval shapes. These versions are of course a good Knish. It just depends on how your grandmother made them. I can assure you, she did not use some conveyor-belted machine and a deep fryer.
