Simo, deli manager at 200 Schermerhorn, has been working at Brooklyn Fare for 6 years.

Favorite cured meat?: "Our Aged Rosetta de Lyon salami is really popular."

Favorite prepared food?: "I really love our homemade veggie burgers, prepared fresh daily at our 37th street kitchen. I usually put them on 7-grain rolls with some fresh pepper jack cheese, avocado, arugula, oil and balsamic, pressed into a panini. Delicious."

Karim, lead fromager at 200 Schermerhorn, has been working at Brooklyn Fare since 2012. Before Brooklyn Fare, Karim worked as a cheese merchant in Toulouse, France for 19 years. Originally born in Algeria, Karim's diverse experience and passion for cheese have fostered a superb home at Brooklyn Fare: a boutique, specialized selection in the corner of your local market.

Favorite cheese lately?: "Abbaye de Belloc is a fantastic semi-hard, sheep's milk cheese. We import it from the Pays Basque region in France. It's creamy, smooth, with a nice finish; perfect before or after a meal."

Funky wild card cheese?: "Saint Albray from France is a more adventurous option. It's soft and creamy with a washed rind, strong bite, and a bitter, earthy finish."

At Brooklyn Fare, we source the majority of our seafood from local East-coast fish and shellfish vendors.

John, lead fish monger at 200 Schermerhorn. Has been working at Brooklyn Fare for 6 years. Favorite fish? “Our wild-caught striped bass from Montauk is very fresh. I like to cook it simply in butter, with garlic, a little bit of thyme, and lemon juice.
