It is one of the nation's largest family-owned restaurants and stands for the best of ethnic, down-home, homemade cooking. From the very first day Junior's opened its doors on Flatbush Avenue in 1950, three generations of the Rosen family have been baking cheesecakes (rated New York's Best by New York magazine), over-stuffing deli sandwiches, grilling burgers, serving up blintzes, and most of all, satisfying their customers - who now number over 4,000 a day.

It traces the restaurant's fortunes along with a decade-by-decade history of the last fifty years in Brooklyn. Most of all, it is a book of reminiscences.
