Wow! All those hot dogs!
Growing up my Dad made lasagna. I always loved it. Noodles, pepperoni, tomato paste, mozzarella cheese and velvets!
I never knew it wasn’t what everyone else considered lasagna until he cooked it for a ski weekend where everybody contributed a main fish. I still love it!
Interesting, after many years of not hearing his voice I found Arthur Schwartz’ (the old NY Daily News food editor and WOR talk show host) podcast. I think it was his last episode where he spoke about how people will always love what they grew up with with regards to food. Can’t think of a better example than you two!
Elsewhere, someone else was making fun of Peter Luger steak sauce for, horror of horrors, having corn syrup. I always have a jar of the stuff in the fridge, and maybe use it once a year. But when I do it takes me back to the first time I enjoyed the wonder that was Lugers and slathered that stuff all over the tomato and onions, and used it instead of cocktail sauce on the shrimp. If I never ate at the place and saw it in my supermarket I’d probably never try it either.
AMEN !!! I will never forget my first time there when the placed the gravy boat of sauce on the table and I asked my host what it was, their response: “That’s their house steak sauce”.
Then the tomato and onion and shrimp cocktail were served and he started ladling the sauce all over his apps; “What are you doing with the steak sauce” I asked!!
(almost a precursor to the current Frank’s Hot Sauce campaign) He said: " You put this sh*t on everything"…and oh yes you did.
Fantastic memory!!
Awesome! Please share recipe. Thanks.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the food of my youth. As a boy I used to go to a diner that had a memorable patty melt. It was like a combo of a grilled cheese and a burger and always served on marbled rye bread. I give you my recreation, served medium rare of course:
LOVE a good patty melt, and it looks like you nailed it!
Was in Woodbridge today [finally] getting my taxes done. Stopped at Wegmans and grabbed a couple of strip steaks. To be continued…
Good for you!!!
Last night we celebrated my daughter’s bf’s b-day, being a fellow meat enthusiast a little porterhouse, lobster tails, mac n cheese, corn on the cob and some salmon. Brown sugar covered grilled maple wood bacon as an app.
Daaaaaaaaamn that looks good!!
Standing outside your door now with my plate and fork in hand.
Lol on the apple photo. Never cooked a steak that big.
Love the menu and the finished product.
I’m just going to casually mention that my birthday is next month…
