Return to Entrees index
↠ Chicken Riggies:
Description:  Chicken Riggies is a popular Central New York (Utica/Syracuse) Italian-American pasta dish featuring tender chicken and rigatoni in a creamy, spicy tomato sauce. It is characterized by the essential use of hot cherry peppers, garlic, onions, and often sweet peppers, creating a savory, creamy, and spicy, comforting flavor profile.

↠ Syracuse Salt Potatoes:
Description:  Syracuse Salt Potatoes are a classic Upstate New York side dish featuring small, unpeeled white potatoes boiled in heavily salted water (approx. 1:6 ratio) until tender. This creates a creamy, dense interior and a signature, crisp, white salt crust on the skin. They are traditionally served hot, drenched in melted butter.

↠ Halal Cart Chicken and Rice:
Description:  Halal cart chicken and rice is an iconic NYC street food dish featuring marinated, grilled, and chopped chicken served over fragrant turmeric-yellow basmati rice. It is famously topped with a creamy, garlicky white sauce and a fiery red sauce, accompanied by crisp lettuce and diced tomatoes.

↠ Adirondack Trout with Maple-Dijon Glaze:
Description:  Adirondack Trout with Maple-Dijon Glaze is a savory-sweet entrée featuring fresh trout fillets roasted or grilled—often on a cedar plank—brushed with a savory glaze made from maple syrup, tangy Dijon mustard, and soy sauce. It is commonly served with roasted root vegetables, wild rice, or green beans.

↠ Long Island Lobster Rolls:
Description:  Long Island lobster rolls feature fresh, tender lobster meat (often claw and knuckle) lightly tossed with mayo, lemon juice, and fresh herbs (like chives or dill) in a toasted, buttered top-split bun. They often feature a "Long Island" style that blends a touch of mayo with bright lemon zest, served on a custom bun.
