One Card... That's All!

The perfect gift for your child's favorite teacher, or your nephew graduating from Med School.  The BRAVO!/Broad Street/Sal & Mookie's Gift Card... Redeemable at all three restaurants... One Card... That's All!  WOW!

Make an impression with the simple, yet significant gift of a 3-in-1 electronic "credit card style" gift card which, once purchased and loaded, is redeemable at all three of our restaurants:  BRAVO! Italian Restaurant & Bar, Broad Street Baking Company & Cafe, and Sal & Mookie's New York Pizza & Ice Cream Joint.

This means the recipient of our common gift card can buy breakfast at Broad Street, get take out from Sal & Mookie's, and then meet someone for drinks at BRAVO!... ALL USING THE SAME CARD.

There is no limit to the amount of transactions which can be made on a card (up to the card value, that is!)  Our advanced point of sale system will decrement the card balance and provide the user with a receipt showing its current balance. 

Now here is the best part, you can buy these cards at any of our three locations, or by sending a request to this e-mail address: HollieB@BroadStBakery.com.

ACT NOW, AND WE WILL GIVE YOU A 10% DISCOUNT IF YOU PURCHASE $300 OR MORE AT ONE TIME.  The discount can be taken as a discount off the purchase price, OR as a "bonus" additional gift card (i.e. buy $300 in gift cards, get a $30 gift card FREE).  Gift Cards are available in any denomination starting at $10. (This special discount will be available until May 31, 2008.)

Finally, please remember, that our gift cards NEVER expire... so you have no fear that your gift won't be used by the receipient.

WHAT COULD BE EASIER??

who is open and who is not... post storm report

We hope you and your family - both nuclear and extended - are safe post the tornadic storms that hit Jackson yesterday.  When catastrophe strikes, these are the times we all stop and take stock in those things that are most important and precious to us.  Things can be replaced... loved ones cannot.  Thank goodness the early reports are showing very little loss of life or limb in our community.

We send this out as a helpful note, as many are calling us on our cell phones and at the restaurants in search of place to eat and take a breather.  Sal & Mookie's never lost power, and we sustained no damage, so things are operating as usual there.

BRAVO! and Broad Street lost power.  Quick thinking by our Chef Louis LaRose (picture at left) resulted in the immediate delivery of a refrigerated truck from our friends at Sysco (the best business partners any restaurateur could ask for!).  We were able to quickly get all of our fresh produce, meats, fish and refrigerated groceries into the truck and it stayed cold and crisp all night long.  A similar process was happening at Broad Street, but the power came on at 6:15 p.m., so we were able to backtrack and get all things up and running for a 7 a.m. opening today.  BRAVO!'s power came on at 9:30 a.m. today, so we are spending the morning and early afternoon deep cleaning our empty walk ins and getting ready for dinner service, and the Symphony special, tonight starting at 5 p.m.

So, to summarize, all of our restaurants are open: Sal & Mookie's and Broad Street for lunch service Saturday, BRAVO! joining for dinner service at 5 p.m. tonight.  Take out will be in full swing at all three restaurants, and, for your convenience, menus for all three restaurants are attached by clicking below

So... Who's the guy in all the pictures???

We get asked the question a dozen times a day;  'Who is the guy holding the Challah Bread in all these pictures?"

It’s Sol Blumenthal, grandfather of Broad Street founder and executive chef,

Dan Blumenthal.

Sol was born in Trenton, New Jersey in 1903. His parents, Barney and Hannah, came to the United States in the 1880’s from Eastern Europe via Ellis Island like many millions of Eastern European immigrants with dreams of a better life.

The Blumenthals settled in Trenton and Barney, a baker, immediately began practicing his trade. As soon as Sol and his older brother, Frank, could see above a bread bench, their father began teaching them everything he knew about his art.  Through both World Wars, Sol and his brother continued to perfect their techniques.

In 1946, shortly after the end of World War II, Sol purchased a small storefront on Broad Street in Trenton.

That same year, BLUMENTHAL’S BAKERY opened. Sol and wife Deborah ran that bakery and two others in Trenton for twenty years.

In 1998, Sol’s grandson, Dan Blumenthal, along with partner, Jeff Good, opened BROAD STREET BAKING COMPANY AND CAFÉ as a tribute to Sol Blumenthal and the legacy he left behind.

Everything you see in our cases — every pastry, every loaf of bread, every dessert, every cookie — was made by hand, by our staff, right here at our bakery in Jackson, Mississippi.

We hope to take you back to a time and place where generation

after generation of artisan bakers created breads from scratch,

following old-world recipes, with their own two hands.
