Wolfie Cohen's Rascal House, a long-time Roadfood favorite and the last of the great old Miami Beach Jewish delis, closed last week.  Time and demographics march on.  Rascal House's closure has hit quite a few people hard.  Just as the death of a rock star or movie great leaves people mourning for the end of an era as much as the end of a life, so does the passing of Wolfie Cohen's remind people of a time in Miami Beach that ended long ago.  Doesn't matter that it may have been decades since they've actually sat down at a Rascal House table with a steamy pastrami sandwich with a schmear of brown mustard and a bowl of sour pickles;  Wolfie Cohen's Rascal House will still be missed.  Here are a few obits:
