Monday Rant — Restaurants Not Caring About Their Customers
July 4, 2025
I went to a local diner and ordered an omelette and a blueberry muffin. The omelette was fine but the muffin tasted aweful. Something was definitely off with the muffin. Since i was running late, I did not bring it up with the waiter. When I went to pay the bill, the manager asked me […]
Restaurant Rant of the Day — Restaurants That Refuse to Make Changes or Substitutions
September 5, 2024
I was at a restaurant that did not allow any changes or substitutions to the items on the menu. I tend to like to switch up the vegetables offered for another one on the menu. It should not be a big deal since they have the other vegetable. But this restaurant did not want to […]
Top Restaurant Red Flags
August 20, 2024
I was reading a blog by Jeff Somers regarding Restaurants Top Red Flags and I thought that he covered a bunch of good topics. I had a few additional suggestions and combined they with the blog references. If you see any of these items, it may be a good idea to look for another restaurant. […]
What is Good Here — Food Rant
July 3, 2024
I was on Facebook and I saw this Page where Restaurant Workers complain about things that bother them. One rant extremely annoyed me and it had to do with customers asking what is good here? Why does this annoy me? First off, I ask this question all the time so they are referring to me. […]
Ben’s Deli — One of Few Remaining Kosher Delis on Long Island
May 22, 2024
I wanted to follow up from my hot dog visit to Ben’s Deli with other sandwiches. Instead of our traditional orders of pastrami and turkey, we went with a chicken Caesar wrap and a grilled chicken panini. As Ben’s is kosher, no dairy or cheese in either of our sandwiches. So we did not know […]
Daily Rant — I Hate it When Waiters Serve the Entree Course While the Appetizer Plates are on the Table
May 20, 2024
I would like to start a school in which they teach waiters and other support staff how to serve the customers. There is a real need for people to learn the appropriate serving steps. The reason I am looking into this is because at the last two restaurants that I went to the waiters started […]
What Not to Order in a Restaurant — Unusual Foods
May 16, 2024
Instead of doing a rant today, I thought that I would provide some advice on what not to order in a restaurant. This is an argument that I have with my wife all the time. She always like to order food that sounds good regardless of where we are eating. In one case, she wanted […]
What is a Sandwich?
May 15, 2024
The eternal question that we have is what is a sandwich and where is the best one? I can not answer the location of the best sandwich but I am going to address what is a sandwich. Merriam Webster defines a sandwich as follows: (i) two or more slices of bread or a split roll […]

May 10, 2024
I have an unusual question. We are hosting a brunch on Sunday and I am not a coffee drinker. With that said, should I get coffee for my guests from Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts (other suggestions are welcome)? Any insight would be welcomed #foodwithaview #foodie #foodstagram #foodpics #restaurantreview #reviewrestaurant #grub #grubbing
Rant of the Day — Cava Wait Times
May 6, 2024
Yesterday, I went to Cava in Westbury a little before 2:00 and there were two lines. One line was for people who placed their orders online and the other was for people ordering in store. The in store line had maybe 15 to 20 people on it so I figured it would take 15 to […]
