When Barry Silver took over Yitz’s in 2000, the Jewish delicatessen had already built up a reputation for homemade comfort food since opening its doors on Eglinton West in 1972. “There was a 20-plus history — people knowing Yitz’s, knowing what it stood for, knowing the quality,” Barry says.
Though his family was in the food business, Barry worked in film and theatre before he decided to make the move to the restaurant industry. “I’d eaten there once or twice and I approached the owner and asked if he wanted to sell his business,” he recalls. “It was easy in that regard.”
