The staff of “I Know Good Food” had to make a quick Stop at Dunkin’ Donuts on the Evening of March 11, 2009 after having dinner at Handshakes Bar and Restaurant. Rose wanted a Regular Coffee and two Bavarian Cream Donuts. We were more than happy to stop and get these items for Rose.  We are here to report that Rose is very happy with these Bavarian Cream Donuts.  She also enjoyed the coffee.

On March 11, 2009, the staff of “I Know Good Food” went to eat at Handshakes located in Hopewell Jct. We are very happy to inform our readers that we had the honor of the return of Rose dining with us. We also had the pleasure of Karen along with her daughters Nicole and Jamie.  We ordered the following:

Shrimp Bisque Soup

Quesadilla-Grilled tortilla filled with onions, mushrooms, and cheese. Topped with lettuce, tomatoes, olives, and jalapenos

Handshakes' Burger-Our classic 1/2 lb burger topped with American Cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and bacon. Served with onion rings and a side choice of chili

Steakwich-A juicy steak, charbroiled and served on a garlic roll with sautéed onions and American cheese.

Classic Burger-1/2 lb. burger with American Cheese and Fries.

Turkey Cracker Melt-Turkey with Russian dressing, Swiss cheese, and jalapenos on a grilled club roll

We were happy to say that there was a new style of French fries served with our meals.  They were a Waffle fry, which we found very enjoyable.

All and all the dining experience was pleasant. The staff  was friendly and very attentive to our needs. The Food was good as always and we were happy that Rose gave a special “OK” to her meal.

As a side note, Rose loves playing Quickdraw there.  Unfortunately, luck was not with her and a last we left without winning anything.  There is always next time.

S & J Deli Superette, Taconic Plaza Hopwell Jct. NY Revisited!

We at "I Know Good Food" had Lunch on March 09, 2009 at the home of Frank and Louis. Mr. and Mrs. Quinn came over with a Italian Combo Wedge, Sausage and Peppers Wedge, and a Quart of their homemade Potato Salad.

The Italian Combo was very good, we loved the meats and the dressing that was used in that sandwich. The Sausage and Pepper wedge was also good but I heard our founder say that he wanted it Parmigiana. He said his wife had gotten the wrong one. I am sorry to report that the Potato Salad was not to our founders liking. This deli is one of the finest in our area, but they have lost there touch making the Potato Salad. We hope that S&J Deli Superette will go back to making it the way our founder liked it.

Below is some pictures of the food in question.
