This week, Achdus Magazine sat down with Toms River resident, Mr. Yosef Mutterperl, the visionary founder and former owner of Southside Sandwich Shop & Smokehouse. Known for his mouthwatering smoked meats and inventive recipes, Yosef’s culinary talents earned him a loyal following that stretched well beyond the local scene, with chefs and barbecue enthusiasts worldwide regularly seeking his advice.
But Yosef’s dedication goes far beyond the kitchen. For years, he was also a committed volunteer firefighter in Lakewood, bravely serving his community and balancing the challenges of firefighting with his passion for food. His story is one of devotion and giving back to his community in every way he can.
As Yosef and his wife Alana prepare for their upcoming Aliyah to Eretz Yisrael, we explore his remarkable journey from growing up in Brooklyn and leading his fire company, to building a respected food business, stepping up to help others in times of crisis, and now taking this meaningful next step in his life.
