Restaurant review
Cousin Frankie’s USA Grill lives up to its all-American name By Jananne Abel
P
ort Chester has many ethnic restaurants specializing in food from countries around the world. Now it’s also got Cousin Frankie’s USA Grill featuring good ole American food. “I think it’s about time,” said Frank Blasi, owner of the casual new American-themed restaurant at 110 Adee St. He said there are many Spanish and Chinese restaurants in the village “and they are all proud of their country.” He cited the Brazilian eatery across the way that’s filled with Brazilian flags. “Why not a restaurant with American flags?” asked Blasi, 43. “We are a country that welcomes everybody. It’s about different types of people, but we should respect our country also. I’m Italian and my wife’s Cuban and this is the country we chose to come to.” Everything about the décor at Cousin Frankie’s USA Grill is allAmerican—from the red, white and blue color scheme, to the American bald eagle logo, to the posters on the wall advertising Coca Cola, Route 66, Marilyn Monroe, a Corvette,
hamburgers, hot dogs, Elvis, James Dean and Harley Davidsons. There’s also a poster reading “God bless the USA.” Witness red tables and counters, blue and white chairs and stools seating 35, a blue and white tile floor, blue and red tiles in the shape of diamonds adorning the wall in front of the main counter and a supporting pole decorated to look like an American flag. Figurines of Uncle Sam and his wife stand prominently in the front window which is also filled with red, white and blue star-shaped balloons. The menu features all-American breakfasts: pancakes, French toast, eggs and bacon and omelets as well as all-American lunches: hamburgers ($3.95 for a 6 oz. sirloin), cheeseburgers ($4.50), hot dogs ($1.95), chicken fingers ($3.95), mozzarella sticks ($4.95), fries ($1.95), tuna ($3.95 on a roll or bread, $4.95 on a

Besides that, you can enjoy your meal with a chocolate, vanilla or strawberry milkshake ($2.50 served in a small fountain glass topped with whipped cream) and top it off with a piece of apple pie a la mode ($1.75). Weekly lunch specials include American comfort foods like meatloaf served with mashed potatoes and corn ($5.95) on Tuesdays, pork loin with choice of potato ($5.95) on Mondays, pulled pork sandwich with choice of potato ($4.95) on Wednesdays and beef stew ($5.95) on Thursdays. A variety of wraps, all $5.25, bear names like The Liberty Wrap (sliced grilled chicken with bacon, American cheese, lettuce, tomato and mayo stuffed with fries), The Uncle Sam (grilled chicken Caesar) and The Stars & Stripes (roasted mixed vegetables with lettuce and tomato).
Besides the all-American cuisine, however, there are some Italian specialties on the menu that reflect chef/owner Blasi’s ethnic background. For instance, he said the chicken scarpariello wedge ($5.25) is his favorite. In addition, you can get a chicken parmigiana sandwich or wedge ($4.95/$5.95), chicken marsala sandwich or wedge ($3.95/$4.95), sausage and pepper sandwich or wedge ($3.95/$4.95), chicken parmigiana with pasta ($7.95) or pasta of the day ($6.25). Right now one soup of the day ($2.25 cup, $3.25 bowl) is offered and in the cold weather that will mushroom to two. Some examples: chicken and rice, minestrone, split pea, lentil, pasta fagioli and cream of broccoli. Prices are definitely reasonable. Where else can you get peanut butter and jelly for $1.75 or a BLT for $2.95? “I’m opening up at a time when everybody’s trying to watch their dollars,” said Blasi. “If I can help

Restaurant review
Cousin Frankie’s USA Grill lives up to its all-American name out in that sense, why not?” Portions are also plentiful. I had a pasta special of rigatoni with broccoli and oil ($6.25) which was yummy and fed two. So did the tasty beef stew—meaty and slightly sweet. The specials come with bread. Cousin Frankie’s opened on May 21 in a space the landlord only recently fitted with a storefront that faces the street. Previously it was apparently used for furniture restoration and not visible to the public. To enter the restaurant, where all is brand new, you must walk down a number of steps as it is located below the street level. Once inside, everything is bright and cheery including the employees, who really make you feel at home. Blasi, who has always been called cousin Frankie since there are four Frank Blasi’s in his family—his grandfather, uncle and cousin who owns Frank’s Pizzeria & Restaurant in Port Chester besides himself—said most of his employees are members of his large family. After working for someone else for 17 years—he was executive chef at Juliano’s Catering in New Rochelle—Blasi said he knows how to treat his employees. Before his stint at Juliano’s, he owned and operated Pasta Per Te on South Regent Street in Port Chester from 1987-92. It is now Ferraro’s Pizza & Pasta. After working nights and weekends for 17 years, Blasi was looking to open a

He said his daughter Amanda, a junior at Port Chester High School, is already 16 and he feels he’s missed out on a lot in her life. He also has a 12-year-old daughter Haley, a sixth grader at Port Chester Middle School. Wife Maria, whom he calls “my partner in everything,” works in marketing but also does his book work and helps out in the restau-
rant on weekends. Blasi chose Port Chester because he wanted to open a nice place in the village where he’s lived his whole life. He decided on this location because he thought it would be the perfect place for a luncheonette with all the drive-by traffic. “It’s a busy street next to the train station which is a big plus,” he said. “There is not a 15-minute period of time when 20 cars don’t pass this street.” And it’s actually conve-
Cousin Frankie’s USA Grill is located at 110 Adee St.
niently located right across from a municipal parking lot where you can always find a space. H o u r s a r e M o n d ay through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Cousin Frankie’s is closed on Sundays. In addition, on Friday and Saturday nights, the restaurant reopens at 10 p.m. and stays open until 4:30 the next morning. “This area on the weekends is pretty busy with the movie theaters,” said Blasi. He said there are a lot of college kids looking for a place to eat late at night. He remembers going to The Texas on North Main Street when he was young. So now Cousin Frankie’s is an alternative to Hubba, where The Texas used to be, or the diner. When we visited Cousin Frankie’s USA Grill last weekend, there was a late night menu of burgers and fries, hot dogs, onion rings and chicken fingers listed on the white board, but they were offering other items off the regular menu as well. I don’t know if that will always be the case. Over the grill is a sign that reads “Good Home Cooking.” Not only that, but the food is prepared with care by the owner who
loves what he does. Blasi said he put on the menu only what he likes to cook but that in reality, “I don’t want menus. Just tell me what you like. Hopefully I’ll be here long enough that I’ll know what my customers want.” Besides the chicken scarpariello wedge, he recommends the burgers and the daily specials. Some specials of note on the menu are Cousin Frankie’s Breakfast Wrap ($4.25): eggs, bacon, sausage and potatoes, to which chili or cheese can be added for an extra 50 cents; The Commuter Special ($3.25): bacon, egg and cheese on a roll with a choice of juice or medium coffee; the Breakfast Special ($6.95): 2 pancakes or 2 French toast served with 2 eggs any style, sausage, bacon, ham, home fries and toast, juice and coffee and The Cousin Frankie’s ($4.25 roll or bread, $5.25 wedge or wrap): sautéed ground beef with a sweet BBQ sauce stuffed with potatoes and cheddar cheese. For breakfast, I tried the stuffed French toast ($5.50), challah bread dipped in egg and fried, sliced up and arranged around cheese cake filling, topped with sliced strawberries and blueberries and powdered sugar and flanked by dollops of whipped cream. This unique dish is pretty, delicious and you don’t need syrup. There’s no way I wanted to eat all of the filling, but a few forkfuls were enough of a sweet treat. An order of bacon and eggs came with great home fries spiced up with little Italian peppers. I had the gorgonzola burger ($5.50) as a late night snack. It actually consists of two 6 oz. sirloin hamburgers with gorgonzola cheese melted between the two and is served on a soft seeded bun. As such, it was a lot to eat, so my husband had to help me with it. Some healthier choices on the menu include fresh fruit plate ($2.25), a handful of salads ($2.95 for mixed greens to $4.75 for grilled chicken Caesar) and a turkey burger ($2.95). After having streamlined his operation, Blasi plans to have a grand opening soon. Having been open less than a month, he said he is pleased with business so far.

There’s more to Father’s Day than just ties Give your child a hug as often as you can. It’s one of the best ways to show you care.
15 ways to be a great dad You may need to pass a test in order to drive, but being a father doesn’t require a license. While anyone can be a dad, there is a big difference between being just a “dad” and being a “great dad.” Don’t sweat it, though, if you need to brush up on your “great dad” skills. You can easily do so at any time. Father’s Day offers an opportune time to get you back on track. Here are some ways to get started. 1. Don’t compare siblings. They are separate people with varying interests, talents, etc. 2. Get ready to play. That game of checkers in the living room or catch in the backyard promotes bonding and mental productivity. 3. Be prepared for the unexpected. Your baby could get sick on the night of your firm’s party. Or your wife may need to work late one night and need you to pick up the baby from daycare. Flexibility on your part can help control the chaos. 4. Get ready to work. You’re going to have to tote that car seat, crib, diaper bag, toys and more. It may not be the most fun in a blizzard or heat wave, but it’s part of the job. 5. Practice the art of patience. No matter how loud your baby is crying, getting upset will only make it worse. 6. Don’t ridicule or put down anyone in your home. Your goal is to create a positive household environment, not a negative one.
7. Listen to what your kids have to say as well as how and when they say it. By listening, you’ll learn about their thoughts and lives and encourage them to communicate with you even more.
8. Learn to laugh. It’s true that it’s the best medicine—and it’s free. 9. Give hugs, especially at the beginning and end of each day. It’s a simple way of showing that you care. 10. Be sure to say, “I love you.” Those three words can make a kid’s day. 11. Keep a united front with your wife. You both need to agree on household and discipline issues and stick with them. 12. Be aware of what is going on at home. Does Sally seem nervous about something? Does Billy have a big test today? Be on top of the needs and concerns of your children.
• Music and movies: Research Dad’s favorite musical artists or actors and put together a care package filled with DVDs or CDs. If he’s a high-tech sort of fellow, download MP3 tunes that he can use on his iPod or similar player.
13. Maintain a healthy family. Feed them a nutritious diet, and promote activity. It’s good for not only their bodies, but their minds, too.
• Food: It’s often been said that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Play upon this notion by cooking Dad his favorite foods or treating him to a night out at a restaurant he’s wild about.
14. Promote honesty. Be truthful with your kids, and teach them the importance of telling and accepting the truth.
• Family portrait: What Dad doesn’t like to brag about his kids? Set up a photo opportunity with a local photographer or enlist another family member to take a picture when the gang is all together. Enlarge the image and frame it for his desk, workshop, or anyplace Dad loves to hang out.
15. Spend quality time with your children. Don’t just sit and watch TV. Toss around a baseball, tour the zoo or bake a batch of cupcakes. These things are what being a dad is all about.
Father’s Day gifts, kids’ style Father’s Day is a time for sons and daughters to recognize the men in their lives. Those who run alongside bicycles while their children are learning to ride, who rescue kids from mom-imposed grounding, and who feel trips to the ice cream shop should be a weekly ritual. When it comes to offering Dad gifts in honor of his special day, younger children will likely find that handmade gifts from the heart are ones Dad cherishes the most. Here are a number of heartfelt, crafty ideas that children can put together for Father’s Day. 1. Brimming basket: Fill a basket full of Dad’s favorite foods or items related to his pastimes. Place a hand-crafted card inside and wrap with colored cellophane. 2. Scrapbook: Children can gather their favorite photos of moments they’ve shared with Dad and put together a small scrapbook with artwork or cutouts from magazines. Craft stores now devote entire aisles to scrapbooking supplies. 3. Personalized baseball cap: Use fabric paint or fabric markers to draw designs or messages on a light-colored baseball hat. 4. Coupon book: Put together a book of coupons that treat Dad to special things, such as a homemade breakfast, a day off from any chores, or anything
Somewhere between when Father’s Day was first established in June of 1910 and present day the tie has become synonymous with the holiday. One may never know just who introduced the tie into the picture. It certainly wasn’t the person credited for making Father’s Day a mainstream holiday. Sonora Dodd of Washington came up with the concept for a “father’s day.” She thought of the idea while listening to a Mother’s Day sermon in 1909 and realized there should be a similar day set aside to honor fathers, most especially her father, William Smart. Smart was a Civil War veteran and also a widower, who raised his six children all on his own. When Dodd became an adult, she realized how selfless her father had acted and how difficult it must have been to raise such a large family. In his honor, she held a father’s day in Spokane, Wash. on June 10—her father’s birthday. The idea of the holiday was supported by President Calvin Coolidge in 1924. But it wasn’t until 1966, when President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the third Sunday of June as Father’s Day, and subsequently when President Richard Nixon signed the law in 1972 that the holiday became permanent. Since then Father’s Day has been celebrated annually worldwide. And the sale of ties spikes considerably at that time of year. After all, could there possibly be a gift that fits Dad more perfectly than a tie? The answer is a resounding yes. By now your father may have enough ties to fill his closet. So this year, consider a gift that may be more heartfelt and unique. Here are some ideas:
you can think of. Sign all the coupons and make a personalized cover. Staple everything together, then give to Dad. 5. Footprint craft and poem: Children can either trace their footprints onto a piece of poster board or make a ceramic print (like those handprints often done in school). Craft stores sell plaster kits that harden in minutes after an impression has been made into the mixture. Accompany the footprint masterpiece with the following poem: “Walk a little slower, Daddy,” said a child so small, I’m following in your footsteps and I don’t want to fall. Sometimes your steps are very fast, Sometimes they’re hard to see; So walk a little slower, Daddy, For you are leading me. Someday when I’m all grown up, You’re what I want to be; Then I will have a little child Who’ll want to follow me. And I would want to lead just right, And know that I was true, So walk a little slower, Daddy, For I must follow you.” (Author unknown)
• Detail his car: Give dad a gift certificate to a car wash or auto spa. He’ll leave with his prized set of wheels sparkling clean. • Novelty ties: If giving a tie is a family tradition, try any number of novelty ties that might fit Dad’s personality. Or better yet, purchase a light-colored tie in a solid shade. Design a greeting or picture on your computer and print it out on iron-on transfer paper. Adhere to the tie with a warm iron and you’ll have a one-of-a-kind personalized gift.
