Sender's Smoke Joint in Teaneck, NJ is Smoking Hot

Sender's Kosher Smoke Joint, located in Teaneck, NJ, just 10 minutes off the George Washington Bridge, is smoking. A longtime favorite of New York and New Jersey locals - who cannot get enough of the delicious, sliced kosher brisket, pastrami, ribs (and so much more) - is now becoming a national hotspot as people from all over the country are making it a destination. New to the amazing menu is the smoked pastrami just in time for the Jewish New Year, but you don't need an occasion to enjoy Sender's, just your hunger.

Head Chef Gabe Gilbert is the 'brains behind the brisket.' Shortly after earning his Degree in Culinary Arts and Food Service Management from Johnson and Wales University in 2008, his professional career began working as a Sous Chef. Over the years, Gabe has acquired much experience while cooking his way up through the culinary world from Sous Chef to Caterer, to Head Chef and Management at Sender's Smoke Joint. Gabe has extensive knowledge of Kosher cuisine and enjoys finding creative ways to bring together traditional and non-traditional flavors to his cuisine, creating a truly extraordinary culinary experience for his patrons. A robust passion for food has been his motivation to learn and master his craft which shines through in his tasteful and inventive dishes.

"At Sender's my aim was to introduce a fusion of Latin street food, the scrumptious smoked meats of the South, and a delicious dash of the classic cuisine of Ashkenazi Jewry, generating a mouthwatering menu to please any palate," says Chef Gilbert.

The chef and the high-quality and diverse menu make Sender's Smoke Joint a unique restaurant that boasts world-class sliced smoked kosher meats, pizzas, bites, sandwiches, and desserts for lunch and dinner. Nowhere else can you find such a unique blend of smoked kosher meats and other authentic international flavors and items influenced by French and Hispanic dishes.
