El Lay’s Best Soups
The Long Beach Press-Telegram published a story about the best soups to be found in the L.A. region. In the category of matzo ball soup, while acknowledging the quality of Canter’s and Langer’s versions, they proclaim the superiority of Brent’s Deli‘s chicken soup with the softball-sized, schmaltz-impregnated matzo meal dumplings. Without the matzo balls, though, they say El Nopal‘s deceptively plain-looking Oaxacan chicken soup is tops with its rich, earthy flavors. Read the story to see their choices for best French onion, pozole, beef noodle, clam chowder, pho, fish stew, and vegetarian soups.
Great Soup in Greenwich CT
This is a recent menu board at Meli-Melo showing the amazing breadth of soup options available on any given day. That’s 18 soups, if we counted correctly, about half of them vegetarian.
Speaking of great soup, here are some of Greenwich, CT’s finest, as chosen by the Greenwich Daily Voice. Meli-Melo always has a spectacular array of fresh, homemade soups. Stop by Asiana Cafe for seafood coconut curry soup or get a bowl of chicken noodle soup at Sweet Pea’s Baking Company in Old Greenwich. Check out the story for more soup suggestions.
NYC’s Grand Central Terminal Celebrates Chocolate
Special this month at Junior’s in Grand Central Station: that’s NY cheesecake on the bottom, chocolate mousse on top, and ganache all around.
February is Chocolate Lover’s Month, and Valentine’s Day sits smack dab in the center of the month, so what better time than now for Grand Central Terminal to celebrate chocolate. The shops are running all kinds of chocolate-themed specials, along with discounts and tastings. Click here to see the various promotions and the schedule.
