I had beef tongue on rye. Others had pastrami or corned beef. Now I went to TWA terminal at JFK and had salad with chicken, though before I went to Centurion Lounge and had coq au vin.

I’m excited that because my nearest megamall is being mostly demolished, a huge Deli that was in the mall is moving back into the neighborhood. Thankfully, the Costco, See’s Candies and public library are staying open.
While the new huge building is only half open, I’m excited to try some fresh NY style bagels, and they have a menu with seemingly hundreds of hot items. My oldest daughter grabbed some food there last week, and was amazed at their bakery department.
I like odd food combinations. I just find the bacon on top of a maple donut didn’t appeal to me. I think I’d go for chocolate dipped bacon.

Funky Buddha, my favorite Florida brewer once put out Maple Bacon Coffee Porter. To be fair, the bacon mostly came through as saltiness. I drank more than one but more than two would be cloying due to the maple. I do think its another case of bacon + sweet = okay. I had a maple bacon donut from Voodoo up in Oregon back when I would eat donuts and it was another case of more than two is too much.

I basically grew up with Bob's Donuts. How does Voodoo compare to Bob's?

Voodoo was my first experience with maple bacon doughnuts several years ago. Our Oregon friends said they were the first to do it. No idea whether that was accurate or not but they were a revelation at the time and have remained a favorite.

I buy a bunch and freeze them. When I plan to have some, I defrost them in the fridge for a day, then bake them in the oven and add shredded mozzarella with about 5 minutes remaining to let it melt on it...
Then I either make it an actual burger with bun, lettuce, ketchup, etc... but quite often I just slice up the baked patties and throw the slices into a mixed green salad (I know it sounds a bit weird but it's actually tasty).

They're actually store bought...! (freshly made that day and sealed packaged by the store)
