RESTAURANT REVIEW
A few of my favorite foods... By Jananne Abel
he song “My Favorite Things” from “The Sound of Music” inspired this column, the first in a series, about some of my favorite foods from Port Chester and Rye Brook restaurants. After almost 10 years of writing reviews and stories about eateries in the two villages (we started this restaurant guide in February 1995), certain foods stick out in my mind that I’ve eaten at various local places. Some I eat often, others I get cravings for from time to time and others I just recall as exceptional from reviews I have done.
T
Pizza at Michael’s and guacamole at Mary Ann’s Pollo at Misti and burgers at Sam’s Amaretto cake at Piero’s and the pleasure it brings These are a few of my favorite things When the rain falls, when the meetings drag, when I’m feeling sad, I simply remember my favorite foods and then I don’t feel so bad.
Coctel de camarones For starters, the coctel de camarones at El Tio Restaurant, a Mexican shrimp cocktail, is nothing short of delicious. As an appetizer or even a light lunch, it’s great any time of the year but particularly cooling in the summer. Coctel de camarones comes in two sizes, small for $6 and large for $10. The latter is served in a tall ice cream dish topped with chopped avocado. Big chunks of shrimp, chopped onions, tomatoes and cilantro swim in a cool
liquid made with shrimp juice, lime juice and a little ketchup. Slices of lime and saltines accompany this starter. El Tio is located at 143 Westchester Ave.
Guacamole and margaritas If you like margaritas, those at Mary Ann’s Mexican Restaurant at 275 Boston Post Rd. are excellent and come in a variety of incarnations. My favorite is the house or original lime variety which can
Pollo a la brasa cooked on the rotisserie at Misti Restaurant. The rotisserie chicken is accompanied by fries and salad.
You can’t go wrong with an original margarita straight up with salt and hand-chopped guacamole served in a molcajete with homemade tortilla chips at Mary Ann’s Mexican Restaurant. be made straight up, on the rocks or frozen, all with or without salt on the rim of the glass. Straight up with salt appeals to my taste buds. Ice waters down the tartness of the drink. The frozen mixture tastes great, but don’t bother with the salt because you need a straw to drink it with and can’t savor the salt through a straw. The margaritas come in a 12ounce size for $6 or a jumbo version for $7.50. There is an extra charge if you choose any of the fruit margaritas: strawberry, raspberry or mango are on the menu plus pomegranate, black raspberry and watermelon are currently listed as specials. To go with the margaritas, I recommend Mary Ann’s guacamole, made to order and hand chopped. Theirs is a chunky rather than a creamy version of this avocado appetizer flavored with tomato, onion and cilantro. It is served in a molcajete or authentic Mexican lava rock mortar used to grind spices and other mixtures with a pestle. A wooden spoon is used for serving in place of the pestle. The guacamole is served with half a lime and a basket of homemade tortilla chips for dipping. Two sizes are available— small for $8.95 and large for $11.95.
Curried chicken salad on a croissant I can’t think of any better sandwich filling than the tangy curried chicken salad peppered with small raisins at The Kneaded Bread, the trendy bakery at 181 North Main St. It’s sold in a container holding enough salad for at least two sandwiches for $6. This curry creation goes splendidly on the bakery’s flaky croissants ($1.75 each). A close sandwich second also comes from The Kneaded Bread
and is only available on Tuesdays (as well as an occasional Saturday). Muenster cheese, sprouts, tomato and honey mustard are surprisingly filling when put between two slices of the bakery’s delicious multi-grain bread. This vegetarian delight costs $5.50.
Burger and fries There are lots of places in town to get hamburgers and French fries, but my favorite is Sam’s Bar & Grill on the Byram River Bridge at Please turn to page 10R
Homemade flan from Kiosko Mexican Restaurant looks pretty as a picture and tastes great, too.

RESTAURANT REVIEW
A few of my favorite foods...
Continued from page 3R
1 Mill St. Their half-pound burger ordered medium is juicy and perfectly pink in the middle. I prefer it topped with gorgonzola cheese, and this is one of the few restaurants in town that serves it that way. Sam’s fries are wide, flat and slightly crunchy. When piping hot and sprinkled with a little salt (they come that way), there’s nothing like them.
Pollo a la brasa
Pizza and salad Everyone has a different taste in pizza, and while we are blessed with many wonderful pizzerias in Port Chester and Rye Brook, I keep going back to Michael’s Famous Pan Pizza at 125 Midland Ave., across from the Pathmark Shopping Center. Their thincrusted pan pizza is topped with a tasty tomato sauce and just the right amount of cheese. My favorite toppings are meatball (here they are sliced) and pepperoni (not too greasy). With one topping, a small pie is priced at $6.50. A large pie with one topping goes for $11. Besides the pizza, the house salad at Michael’s is marvelous. A combination of arugula, radicchio, red onion, black olives, cucumber and shaved carrots topped with the heavenly house dressing, a creamy balsamic vinaigrette, and gorgonzola cheese if desired is enough for two and costs $5.50. If you don’t like
wich at Inca & Gaucho, which is available for lunch or dinner. Sandwich de Lomo ($5, $6 with fries) features stir fried beef sautéed with onions, tomatoes, wine and soy sauce served on an Italian roll.
Coctel de camarones topped with chopped avocado from El Tio Mexican Restaurant. too much dressing, you might be wise to order it on the side because often the staff is a bit heavy-handed with it.
Rice balls A co-worker turned me on to the rice balls at Marini’s Pizzeria some years back, and I’ve been eating them ever since. For $3, one rice ball is a meal in itself or even two meals if you add a salad. They’re not on the menu and not always available but are definitely worth asking for. Owner Anthony Marini said his mother comes down to the restaurant, located at
Half of a skirt steak grilled at Inca & Gaucho Restaurant served with salad on the side. A full steak, double the size, is also available.
46 North Main St., once in a while and makes these breaded, deep fat fried balls filled with rice, chopped beef, mozzarella, light tomato sauce and mortadella. The inside is moist and the outside crunchy. The rice balls are served cut in half and topped with additional sauce as desired.
Almost everyone loves chicken, and there’s none better than the birds cooked on the rotisserie at Misti Restaurant at 110 North Main St. This style of chicken is called pollo a la brasa in Spanish and this term appears prominently enough on the sign outside Misti that people think it’s the name of the restaurant. Misti’s rotisserie chicken is juicy and infused with taste throughout. The skin, sprinkled with spices, is particularly flavorful. Co-owner Rosa Castillo said Misti’s pollo a la brasa is made using a secret recipe she wouldn’t divulge.
fries and a basket of dinner rolls.
Breads The bread that accompanies meals at a few restaurants in town really stands out. The garlic knots at Pizza Pasta & Things in the Kohl’s Shopping Center and the Italian bread from the Bronx served warm with a crunchy crust at Frankie & Louie’s Restaurant at 414 Willett Ave. are two terrific examples.
Amaretto cake As far as desserts, my number one choice is the amaretto cake at Piero’s Italian Restaurant at 44 South Regent St. Even if you’re full and think you can’t eat another bite, somehow there’s always room for this light, airy, scrumptious cake. The yellow cake is soaked in almond-flavored liqueur and topped with whipped cream and crushed, toasted al-
Skirt steak Once in a while I actually get cravings for the skirt steak at Inca & Gaucho Restaurant, the upscale South American eatery at 173 Westchester Ave. This long, succulent piece of meat fills the whole plate. While it may taste like it is marinated in something to give it such exceptional flavor, co-owner Eduardo Campos assures me it is not. “It’s how you cook it,” he said, knowing the exact point when the meat is ready to serve, that makes it so juicy. The skirt steak is usually cooked medium unless you ask for it another way. Called entrana in Spanish, this dish is offered in two sizes: a full steak for $16, a half for $10. The smaller size is plenty for one meal; the larger one ensures you’ll have some to take home. The steak is garnished with a few vinegar peppers and comes with salad and fries or rice. My husband recently introduced me to a delicious steak sand-
Small pan pizza, half meatball and half pepperoni, and house salad prepared at Michael’s Famous Pan Pizza. Half of a roasted chicken sells for $6.50, one quarter of a chicken for $5. It comes with a better than average salad topped with a yummy dressing, rice or French
monds. It’s not made on the premises but instead comes from a bakery in the Bronx. Piero’s serves a good-size square of this luscious dessert for $5.
Flan One of the newer restaurants in town has one of the best desserts: a luscious homemade flan. The flan at Kiosko Mexican Restaurant at 220 Westchester Ave. is creamy with a thin layer of crunch on the bottom and caramel syrup on top. Priced at $4 for a small round serving, it is attractively presented on a plate surrounded by a star design in caramel syrup and sliced strawberries with whipped cream or other fruit on the side.
‘My Favorite Things’ Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens Brown paper packages tied up with strings These are a few of my favorite things Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels Doorbells and sleigh bells and snitzel with noodles Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings These are a few of my favorite things Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes Silver white winters that melt into springs These are a few of my favorite things
Chocolate chip cookies
When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I’m feeling sad I simply remember my favorite things and then I don’t feel so bad. —From “The Sound of Music” Luscious amaretto cake served at Piero’s Italian Restaurant.
Amazingly, McDonald’s at 321 Boston Post Rd. has fantastic chocolate chip cookies. The chocolate is often still soft while the dough is slightly crunchy. The fast food restaurant’s oatmeal cookies are also first rate.
