Who exactly is Boscov?

This recipe for meat loaf is attributed to Boscov’s, which is a department store in the Ohio-Pennsylvania-New Jersey area. Founded in 1914 by Samuel Solomon Boscov, it is still in operation and is one of the last family-owned department stores that helped create the American department store landscape in the 20th century. In the 1980s, Boscov’s Family Restaurants were opened in some of the department stores, and I can only assume that is where this recipe originated.

If you haven’t made meat loaf before, just combine all the ingredients and place in a meatloaf pan. Bake 1 1/2 – 2 hours at 350º.
