Greetings!
With Sunday being Father's Day, let me take this opportunity to wish all Dads, including myself, my Dad and father-in-law a very special Happy Father's Day.
We have included below some of the Father's Day restaurant specials and prix fixe menus, so make sure you take advantage of them. We also have some great deals, where you can buy gift certificates for Dad or to take him out on Sunday. See details and the list to your left.
Meanwhile, the last 2 weeks have seen some interesting contests and we have photos and winners both of them - Pitopia's Falafel Eating Contest and Long Island's 1st Annual Kosher BBQ Championship.
And with summer fast approaching, look out for our South Jersey and Upstate N.Y. Summer Preview in our next newsletter.
Until then, enjoy Father's Day everyone and thank you for reading.

Click here or below for a photo spread of this past Sunday's Long Island Kosher BBQ Championship were I was honored to be one of the judges. It was a great experience and fun to judge the 3 main food categories: Ribs (all were outstanding), Brisket (pretty good) and Beans (hit and miss). With 18 teams, thousands of attendees and a lot of money raised for charity,
it was a huge success. I hope to see everyone next year!
Congratulations to "The MOB" for taking overall top honors.
