Tomorrow our Jewish brethren celebrate the high holy day of Yom Kippur and Zabar's deli on the west side of Manhattan is bracing for the rush for lox and estimate they will sell 10,000 lbs. in the week prior @$42.00 per pound. The demand is so great that they have to add on extra slicers called out of retirement. A story is told of a fussy lady who asked for several slices, the slicer sliced and paused and she said "Cut, cut!" A few more cuts were made and he paused again. Again she said "Cut, cut!" and he accommodated her. Finally, she said "I'll take those two"! Not recommended when the man has a delicate blade in his hand.
