Farm Fresh Market Jerusalem Pizza Staying The Course Last week, Bobby Shrum pretty much picked up where he left off at the end of June when the Oak Park Farmer Jack supermarket at 10 Mile and Coolidge closed, along with the kosher meat department he managed. Now that Farm Fresh Market has moved in, Shrum is back in business. "Farm Fresh wanted kosher meat in the store right from the start:' Shrum said of the venue that opened a few weeks ago. "They called me, and right away I called Rabbi [Joseph] Krupnik [kashrut direc- tor] at the Vaad. Then we made sure the kosher meat area remained locked and untouched so that when we reopened it [on Aug. 23], it was still kosher." Shrum has been a kosher butcher at Farmer Jack stores for the past 20 years, the last five in the Oak Park store. The new store's kosher meat area has a full-time kosher supervisor. Shrum, who carries a cell phone to take call-in orders, hopes his former clients will be back for more than Shay Ben Yair of Oak Park and Bobby just beef and poultry. Shrum of Downriver "The entire kosher department at Farm Fresh has more than doubled in the amount of products in the kosher section:' said Shrum, the store's kosher meat manager. "We also have kosher dairy items and a lot more new deli items:' Pizza And Beyond It's not unusual for Brian Jacobs to simul- taneously take phone orders, respond to in-store customers and patiently listen to his three preschool-aged daughters who frequent Jerusalem Pizza in Southfield. He's a natural at making each feel like they have his undivided attention. And that's because Jacobs genuinely enjoys the work he does at the business he owns with his wife, Rivka. Beginning as employees of the restau- rant, the two purchased it in January. Since Brian Jacobs prepares pizza sauce then, they have kept much of the multi-cat- and toppings. egory menu intact, with a few additions. "We now have 100 percent whole wheat dough choices:' Jacobs said. "We offer it in our calzones, pizza and Jerusalem bread." They also serve a variety of soups, sandwiches, desserts and salads. And when it comes to pizza, the seemingly endless — and sometimes unusual — choices include the likes of a Coney Island pizza or one topped with cholent. "Our most popular seem to be barbecue 'chicken, Mexican 'chicken' and Greek pizza," said Jacobs. The "chicken" is a vegetarian substitute. "We have people who order pizza with no sauce and others who order pizza with no cheese. And we have a huge vegan customer base. Pretty much anything can go on a pizza. But that's what's fun about pizza."
