Two years ago, Stopsky’s opened with the tagline “tradition, updated,” and the community-focused Mercer Island delicatessen seems to have found its groove — if getting the attention of established foodie magazine Bon Appétit is any indication. On February 25, BonAppetit.com ran “Brisket and Gefilte Fish Get a Makeover,” which singles out Stopsky’s for its creative approach to standard Jewish fare. Chef Austin Zimmerman shares a revamped Passover seder consisting of chilé-braised short ribs, smoked fish fritters with beet vinaigrette, and lime-in-the-coconut macaroons, along with a timing guide so you’re not juggling tasks as the guests walk in. “It’s enough to impress today’s chefs and bubbes alike,” wrote Bon Appétit.
