Editor’s note. The owner of the last kosher deli opened in St. Louis requested we remove all references to that deli being associated with this new kosher hot dog stand. 

When St. Louis’ last kosher Deli closed last summer, it didn’t take long before my inbox lit up with one particular question asked over and over again: “What’s going to happen to the kosher hot dog stand at Busch Stadium?” Fast forward to now, as Opening Day drew closer, the questions started coming at me again like a Ryan Helsley fastball.

The answer? It’s back. With a new name, but the same great kosher menu.

For fans attending Opening Day on March 27, they’ll notice that the cart has been rebranded as Stuie’s — but the menu, the kosher supervision and even the original founder remains the same.

“I’ve been a part of that stand since day one,” said Stuart Rosenblum, the man now running Stuie’s. “While the name has changed, the experience hasn’t.”

That experience? A menu of kosher stadium dogs, pastrami sandwiches and the ever-popular pastrami dog — all under Vaad Hoeir supervision during the week.

In fact, the creation of the original kosher stand came out of a personal need. Years ago, Rosenblum — a longtime Cardinals season ticket holder — was frustrated that he couldn’t find kosher food at the ballpark to share with his family. So, he did something about it.

“I started talking to the Cardinals, and to their credit, they bent over backward to accommodate us,” he said. “They understood how meaningful it was for kosher-keeping fans to have that full ballpark experience.”

The result was a unique setup. Two separate carts were created: one for weekdays and one for weekends and holidays. During Shabbat and Jewish holidays, the Coney Island Deli cart appears — serving the same food but without Vaad supervision due to limitations on supervision during those times. The weekday cart, now branded as Stuie’s, remains fully kosher and Vaad-certified.

The food itself? Straight out of Rosenblum’s childhood memories in Brooklyn. “The hot dogs are all-beef, no fillers and custom made to our specifications,” he said.

The name “Stuie’s” is a nod to Rosenblum’s own nickname — and if it sounds familiar to radio listeners, it should. Rosenblum is also the voice behind the “Bagel Loan” ads you’ve heard on sports radio across St. Louis.

So to recap: new name, same pastrami, same ownership, same kosher experience — and a little extra personality.

And if you’re heading to Busch this season and craving that classic deli bite? Just look for the Stuie’s sign behind section 147.

As Rosenblum put it, “We want fans who keep kosher to have the same great baseball experience as everyone else — and the Cardinals have continued to make sure that happens.”

What’s on the menu at Stuie’s

Behind section 147 on the concourse

• Kosher hot dog (aka knockwurst)

• Killer pastrami sandwich

• Corned beef sandwich

• Pastrami dog (yes, it’s as good as it sounds)

Note: Vaad supervision applies to weekday games only. Shabbat and holiday games are served from the Coney Island Deli cart with identical products, but without kosher certification.
