Eli Zabar is one of New York City's finest food impresarios. He's celebrating 50 years in the business, and we spoke with him from inside his car about unlocking our 2025 hobbies and dietary restrictions, he sets the record straight about his involvement in the Zabar's business, TJ pitches a frittata repurposing for his not so popular salad, his hate of tunafish, his love of Madison avenue, bread baking, the architecture of Richard Lewis, real estate deals, his mother's soup, his custom Charvet shirts, Ralph Lauren Bermuda shorts, fur lined Crocs, and how he summers in the south of France. What a guy!
