Who Are Max & David?

After you enjoy a fine meal and gracious hospitality at Max & David's, you can say a silent "thank you" to Max and David Katz, Steven's Zayda (grandfather) and father respectively. The two shaped Katz's view of the world with their generosity and spirit. Max, a Polish immigrant and shoe repairman, taught David to treat each person with respect and kindness, regardless of their station in life. David passed down this lesson and gave his four children a rich appreciation for each of life's blessings. Today, the Katz's are creating an atmosphere of respect, appreciation and pleasure at Max & David's, where each customer feels like an honored guest.

Why Kosher?

A surprising 39 percent of people who buy kosher food do so for non-religious reasons. For many, kosher's stringent standards of cleanliness and accountability provide peace of mind given recent food scares. For example, to comply with kosher standards, all produce is closely inspected and washed three times. With kosher food, you always know exactly what you are eating and where it came from. This is comforting to a wide breadth of consumers, from vegetarians to those with food allergies (particularly shellfish and dairy). Kosher's rigid regulations have also found favor in religions beyond Judaism; Muslims are the second largest religious market for Kosher foods. Diners at Max & David's know that their meal was supervised under the authority of Rabbi Dov Brisman of Community Kashruth of Greater Philadelphia.
