HV's been dark the last couple of weeks. Anyone know if they're OOB, shut by the health department, or simply on vacation?
potato salad recipe [moved from Kosher]
I just tried this recipe and tasted it while the potatoes were still warm. I took someone else's advice and subbed pickle juice for the vinegar. The only adjustment I will make next time is to decrease the salt accordingly. Otherwise, it is very tasty, and pretty close to what I would expect at a NY kosher deli.
Southbound BBQ, Valhalla shuts down...
Wow, this must have just happened. I drove by last night and saw "For Rent" signs in the windows. If anyone has any other information, please share.
Craving Good Thin Crust Pizza in Westchester
Are you people out of your minds? Roma makes disgusting goop on cardboard. How this place consistently gets voted "Best in Westchester" boggles the mind... probably some ballot-box stuffing, in my opinion.
My personal rule for thin-crust pizza is that you have to hear it when you're eating in. If the crust isn't crisp, it's not worth my while. To this end, I can't find pizza better than the neighborhood pizzerias that don't try to be anything else. My two favorites (both in Yonkers) are Dunwoodie on Yonkers Avenue and John's on S. Devoe Avenue (at McLean). Of course, there's bias in that these are the pizzas that myself and my wife grew up on, respectively.
For a good thin-crust "brick oven style" (don't know if they actually use a brick oven, but it has the right taste), try the margherite pizza at Lazy Boy Saloon. Wash that down with a Captain Lawrence Double IPA, and it's the closest to heaven you can get for under $15.
