Considering I have never been to New York (but certainly want to
visit sometime) I can not speak to the authenticity of Cindi's NY
Delicatessen, but I give BIG Kudos to the Dallas eatery.
Visiting downtown Dallas is not something I do often, but at least once a year I head that
way for the International Motorcycle Show. This year I decided to go
early and have breakfast somewhere near the convention center. After
some research I decided to take a chance on Cindi's and I am very glad I
did.
At 8:45 A.M. my friend, Mac, and I arrived at the simple building housing Cindi's. We were greeted with a smile and told to sit wherever we wanted. The server quickly presented us with menus and took our drink order.
The menu is full of standard breakfast choices as well as a lot I had never seen (I suppose they were standard items at a NY deli) i.e. Lox & eggs, Matzo Brie, Cheese Blintzes and Latkes. Making a decision took some time and a few questions for the server.
Mac ordered the Deli Omelette (corned beef and pastrami) hash browns and a bagel. I opted for the French toast with one egg and sausage. It did not take very long until our food was served hot and fresh.
Mac's
omelette was served "pancake style" - folded over it self creating 4
layers. The meats were flavorful and complimented the eggs. The
omelette and hash browns were enough to fill him up so he had to take
the multi-grain bagel with him. Mac commented, "this is the best omelette I have ever had" and I know for a fact he has eaten a lot of omelettes.
My
French toast were made with thick Texas sliced bread, cooked to a
golden brown & yellow and sprinkled with powered sugar. Six slices
to the order! The texture and flavor of the toast lived up to my high
anticipation. They tasted as good as they looked. The egg and sausage
were fresh and high quality. I finished it all. Good thing I did -
when I paid out the various pastries at the counter were very tempting.
We
both left completely satisfied and looking forward to returning in the
future. The time arrived sooner than expected. Around noon several of
us at the International Motorcycle Show began making lunch plans. None
of us wanted to drive somewhere only to drive back and pay the crazy
cost of parking so we discussed options within walking distance of the
show.
Mac and I mentioned Cindi's along with our praises for the breakfast we had. Everyone was agreeable to a .7 mile walk to try lunch at Cindi's. Once again no one was disappointed. Two pastrami Reuben sandwiches, one corned beef Reuben, one turkey Reuben and one turkey burger were ordered. I had sweet potato fries with my turkey Reuben.
The
Rye bread was grilled with a little butter, the turkey was thinly
sliced, the Swiss cheese was a flavorful, but not strong and the
sauerkraut topped the sandwich off perfectly. The slaw had a fresh and
traditional flavor. I ordered the sweet potato fries crispy, which they
arrived as ordered.
Once again the meal was filling and although the fresh pastries and desserts (cheesecake, key lime pie and cookies) were tempting I just did not have any more room.
The lunch was a perfect lunch to go with the show. It's difficult to top a sunny day, motorcycles and good food.

ReplyDeleteDid you have thoughts of getting a pastry to go for later?
Absolutely. I plan on a ride just to try the pastries.
