All hail! Jim Baron and Mark Brezinski, the brawn and the brawn behind Zinsky’s, a New York style deli set to open in the old Jason’s Deli space in Preston Royal in early summer. Jim and his wife (the brains) Liz, operate six locations of Blue Mesa Grill and Mark has been in the biz in Dallas for over 20 years including a stint at Brinker International Restaurants, being a co-founding partner of Pei Wei Asian Diner, and currently operating Bengal Coast restaurant at the Centrum.
“We need a good classic New York style deli in our neighborhood,” said Jim, who is a good friend and Preston Hollow neighbor of Mark’s. The duo rounded up a team of similar minded community leader to form a partnership, many of which also grew up in the area.
The menu at Zinsky’s will pay homage to the traditions that both Mark and Jim grew up with. Think: great hand carved pastrami and corned beef, rye bread, great sour pickles, homemade tuna fish, and matzoh ball soup. I’m thinking, I’m thinking already. Get busy, boys. Your public awaits.
