Greetings Friends!
First things first: I do not own or run a huge meat conglomerate. Instead, my products are sold from a small familystyled butcher shop which I have run for 20 years at 189 Parker Ave. in Passaic, a half block from Botany Village. I prepare pork, beef and meat products, home-style hickory smoked ham, sausage, salami and all kinds of cold cuts. My family and I also sell ground poppy seeds and ground walnuts and many traditional Hungarian food ingredients. I also have to tell you a very important thing: I love my work and all my products are prepared with know-how and tender love and care. In my store, you will receive the best— foods which praises the tastes and inspires the soul. Please visit my store or go to www.kolbasz.com. Best Regards, Owner Mike Jozsa pictured with Marika and Andrew
