History

Established in 2009.

Brooklyn Standard Deli LLC is a natural foods Grocery, Coffee Bar, Bakery, Convenience Mart, and Eatery. It is the new standard for the «Bodega»; giving the neighborhood what it needs. Everything you love about your local Bodega: smokes, soda, cheap eats, egg on a roll, deli sandwiches, news paper and magazines, late night munchies, and now the new Standard arrives, of course in Brooklyn.

Its sustainability-​conscious owners are focused on local employment and products, homemade food, being involved in the community, and «green» operations. Brooklyn Standard inquires «what is Brooklyn making?». These products are sold on The Standard’s shelves, with some of the product-​makers using the Brooklyn Standard kitchen as an incubator for their creations. All other items are sourced from local farms and companies.

Meet the Business Owner

Cody U.

Business Owner

Cody has been cooking since he was 8 years old – when he staged a family Thanksgiving feast behind the curtain he attached to the kitchen doorway. His experience includes serving as Head Chef at an Alaskan backcountry fishing lodge, Private Chef for the rich and famous (and his friends and family), and Executive chef and co-​owner of several local establishments. He has served whole foods and sushi menus at retreats, haute French cuisine at the fanciest parties, and Mexican street food at his «Papacitos» restaurant in Brooklyn. The list is long, but just ask, and he’ll whip up any kind of food you’d like. Cody grew up in California and Oregon, but has travelled all over for chef jobs – both long and short term– and he has made the east coast his home now for 10 years. Cody’s passion and impulse is food. He is talented in both making it and getting it to people. Through a variety of businesses, his aim is to feed Brooklyn with the best of New York’s local products–
