After sampling other panini’s some of which impressed me like Press 195 in Plainview, I decided to see if La Bottega was still serving up the best panini’s on Long Island. Sometimes, you can build up a restaurant from your memory and nothing can compare even if they are actually better. For me, the apple […]
First Stop on my Bagel Journey, Gabby’s Gourmet Bagelatessen in Woodbury. I decided to try out one of the bagel shop that women who lunch go to. What I mean is that 90% of the customers in this bagel shop were women. This does not impact my bagel analysis but I thought it was interesting […]
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 […]
We headed over to Pietros in Roslyn (in the old Jolly Fisherman space) and had a lovely meal. They did not change the layout of the restaurant. It appeared that they changed the lighting, wallpaper and the carpet and they were good to go. We ordered a Caesar salad to start and then we had […]
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 […]
I have been hearing great things about Pantano’s Gourmet in Uniondale so off we went. The layout is a pretty traditional one with the deli counter running the length of the store broken down by items to order like salads, panini’s and sandwiches. The nice bonus was the tables outside. I tend to be a […]
Cooperhill — A Modern American Bistro and Quite a Find We headed over to Copperhill in Williston Park. It is a quirky American bistro that prides itself on being located in a 125 year old farmhouse. The only thing that I do not get is why is it important to highlight that the restaurant is […]
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 […]
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 […]
I headed over to Coliseum Kitchen and Caterers in Plainview. They definitely chose the right name since the deli could be the largest one I have been to on Long Island. They have an enormous counter that starts with salads, then proceeds to deli followed by hot food and pizza’s. Even though we were not […]
