The Greek-seasoned filling combined with a mint lemon sauce was incredible. I would order the Greek Platter (pasticio, moussaka, cabbage rolls) whenever I was in town.

Holy cow these things are good. I’ve had the strawberry rhubarb and the mixed berry (I don’t know what other flavors they’ve had, these are the two that are always available when I’ve been there)

It wasn’t on the menu, and they served it free, upon request. The cafe is closed and I’m searching online for the recipe.

This was a great topic, let’s keep going.

Five and a half pounds (roughly) of a mix of scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, pieces of ham, green peppers, onions, and cheese, mounded up like a haystack and served with toast. Eat it all in one sitting and you’ll be posted on the Wall of Fame _(back in the day, they used to take and display a Polaroid of the successful gourmand)_. My picture showed my empty plate, upon which a second plate with a huge slice of pie _a la mode_ had been placed, and me tucking into it – which I then captioned with the remark that _ **‘REAL men also have dessert!’** _
