The fire which broke out at approximately 5:00AM on Thursday morning, caused massive damage throughout the restaurant, before being brought under control 30 minutes later.
Boro Park Hatzolah, along with Boro Park Shomrim were dispatched to the scene, but their services were Boruch Hashem not needed.
Deli 52 has a world-class reputation for their Chulent & other “Heimish-style” foods, and is usually full to capacity on Thursday nights.

WOW WHERE ARE WE GOING TO EAT CHULENT TONIGHT THEY USE TO HAVE THE BEST CHULENT.
Someone store burns down, he loses his parnosoh, and all you think about is your chulent and stomach!!
For Shame!!!
Why didn’t this happen next sunday morning?
Theres an good place across from shomer shabbos that sells chulent- Sub Express. Im sure they will be glad to handle everyone’s chulent needs.
I think we’ll head over to 47 Deli & Grill, on 47th Street off 13th Ave…
Oh gosh they really do have the best cholent in town. Is the store completely gone?
TO 2. OF COURSE WE ALL FEEL HIS PAIN BUT WE STILL NEED TO MOVE ON WE NEED TO THINK WHERE WE ARE GOING TO EAT CHULENT WHAT IS RUNG ABOUT THAT HA?
#4,
Shomer Shabbos itself has good cholent sometimes (when its there.)
YW Editor, stop the posters with the free advertsing for their establishment.
#5 We have been going to Nesher on 41 and 13th avenue for over a year now. THE BEST CHULENT.
I’m sure you guys could find a shiur which serves chulent. If you don’t wnat to go to a shiur help your wives.
Maybe Tomchei Shabbos needs some help.
Yup, I agree 47 Deli N Grill ( off 13th Ave )is the best, no, im not getting paid to say this. Go see for yourself and you’ll agree as well.
Was this fire of suspicious origin? Was it classified as an arson?
Personally, my favorite place is Glatt Diner at 56th and New Utrecht.
TO ALL:
I know this is a sad situation but…
GREAT PLACE JUST OPENED AND HAS SIIIIICK CHOLENT!!!
They are opened really late too and are packed!!! As i consider myself a huuuge maven in cholent this place serves really good cholent and are never off – KOLD KUTS on AVE K and NOSTRAND
Excellent!!!
maybe this is a message from above that all this chulent going is stam a hangout and we should be home helping our wives or in shul learning!
Vie fill yidden darf faloiren a parnassah shoin!? OY!
#9,
I disagree. It’s unfortunate that this happened but businesses are suffering so let the word get out about other kosher establishments that can use the parnassah.
What was the cholent recipe at deli 52?
come on guys that place is EKELDIG a shande a hang out
Does anyone know what caused the fire?
This reminds me of the nebich case of the fellow who died in Europe, drunk and alone. I really hope that all the leitzim have given thought to what they can do to help the owner get on his feet again.
This is definitely a sad situation, A frum yid lost his Parnasa. We can hope that he has insurance & will build back up bigger, better & nicer (& cleaner) than before.
As for chulennt, I have been going to Chezkels 13th ave and around 38th and he has a very very good Chulent. If that is not enough for you check out his VIP chulent.
Want better? try the V double IP chulent.
I being a rather small guy stick with the regular Cuz those are a little heavy for me.
The chulent slow- cooking while the stove was unattended started the fire. Now learn to make your own or do without. How about helping out the owner and workers of that store?
I agree with KAJ, you people are so disturbed and messed in the head to even be discussing where you are going to eat cholent tonight! maybe do with out and give the money to a ani or something, but to be so unthoughtful of another yids buisness who has to deal with all this agmas nefesh now and discuss what you are going to stuff your face with tonight is wrong and sickinin! Did you ever think that this may have been a simun from shamayim that the velt handles all their lashoon hara and gashmius in that store or any other “shmoozing spot”, talking about how this guy ripped off a busisness this we, or about a new car that someone got, this isnt a joke, when things like this happen every single jew has to sit down and make a cheshband hanefesh. Baruch hashem noone got hurt. the people that are going to laugh off this post are the same people that sit around thursdays night and talk bout everyone else besides themself! hahem should help all those that arnt sensative to this yids busisness
OH NO! where are we going to stuff our fat faces on thursday night!
Sad story
does anyone know any places where we can get chulent now? Im so lost about what to do for Thursday night?
