Lost Dishes: Kopperman's - Curried Chicken Salad

Kopperman's: Curried Chicken Salad

In December of 1983, Myron Kopperman and his friend Sanford Rich opened a different kind of delicatessen at 386 North Euclid in the Central West End. In addition to deli food, they offered a larger, more diverse menu, and combined this with an eclectic specialty market. They called their new venture Kopperman's Specialty Food & Delicatessen.
