I’ve been cruising the Eisenhower Expressway (290) since just about the Eisenhower Administration, and I don’t remember ever seeing much in the way of food stops along that relatively barren route. So it was with some...

, then the cheese... It was probably fake "cheese food" too! None of which my mom would go for! Now we do either toasted cheese (usually when just making it for one or both kids) with cheese toasted on open face bread OR grilled...

Go to Di Fara in Brooklyn. Lombardi’s is awful, drippy, sloppy, soggy dreadful tourist food. You can obtain occasional bliss at Patsy’s in East Harlem (ONLY IN EAST HARLEM) but it’s so inconsistent that it...
