Bonifay and Caine Garden. I order there but still not as good as what my wife makes. Your recipe sounds good

Legal
 
Is it still legal to serve that monstrosity of a meal? I always thought it bordered child abused when I had to eat it as a kid. The organ in question filters the blood removing the poisons and impurities in your body…hmmm. Not my first choice for fine dining.

Do they serve that with an extra helping of bile?

WebMD and MayoClinic are my trusted sourced for medical information. Here is what I found:

Beef liver is one the most nutrient rich foods on the planet, However, it is also very high in cholesterol and has a higher-than-normal risk of interaction with medications.

I agree with some of the others. Yuck. I hated when my mom made it. Peanut butter and jelly for me.

Orange Blossom restaurant has great liver and onions, mashed potatoes and gravy, and green beans on Wednesdays.

You obviously never ate at a NY Deli or Italian Restaurant. The local restaurant in question has the worst Pastrami I ever had. The fat is so chewy you almost choke on it.

Impossible to get a corned beef or pastrami on rye that is anything like NY (IE Katz)

No argument there…but have you seen the price of a sandwich at Katz…$25!

My Mom used to cook liver & onions for my Dad.
Thankfully she never made us eat it.
I do really like chopped liver! :icon_wink:

Some people hate it, others love it. If cooked right it is great.

When you know what good pastrami and corned beef tastes like hard to settle for fourth rated deli meat.

Sounds like a blessing to me.

Dropping popular items is usually a great way to run a restaurant. Into the buffers!

I do like Bison Burgers but waitress comment was probably anecdotal and/or they cut into sales of regular hamburgers which are very close in taste.

Agree…but im sure you might remember years ago there was always a great jewish deli close by everywhere in nyc. Nothing will compare to those places…sadly, they are all gone.

TooJays in Brownwood has gotten really dirty over the last few months. I know they have had some serious staffing issues, but if they can’t even clean the dining room floor I don’t want to think how bad it is in the kitchen areas.

Did you check the specials menu? We were at the Brownwood restaurant on Thursday and Liver & onions is a Thursday dinner special.

I do remember they were in every neighborhood in NY but sadly those days are long gone.

There will be plenty of chatter on here...LOL...those who hate it, those who love it, under the new owners/management. It will settle nothing except as a "let off steam" value for some people. But the one fact is, IF enough people love it, it will stay open, and if enough people join the "hate posters", then it will eventually close ! Basic economics even kids with a lemonade stand can understand..LOL !
