THANKSGIVING ON A PIZZA

JOE Friday, November 24, 2017
Thanksgiving Dinner Pizza
So many sub shops offer turkey and stuffing sandwiches this time of the year, but here's a new twist. Stew Leonard's in Newington, Connecticut is selling a Thanksgiving pizza. It's topped with turkey, potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce and green beans. There's gravy instead of cheese and tomato sauce. Stew Leonard, Jr. got the idea after watching Mario Batali make one on "The Chew." If it's a hit this year, they will bring it back next Thanksgiving. , , ,

Don't let the line outside of Flapjack's discourage you. A hearty New England breakfast at this Lincoln, New Hampshire breakfast spot is worth the wait. My party of four waited for about a half hour on a Sunday in October. Not too bad. Once we were inside, we settled in at their little bar. Yes, they serve alcoholic breakfast drinks like mimosas, but I enjoyed a hot mug of coffee.

 Flapjack's takes pride in their pancakes. There are many flavors to choose from like blueberry, chocolate chip and Reese's peanut butter cup. I was excited to try their seasonal pumpkin flapjacks topped with maple butter. AMAZING! They were part of my breakfast platter which came with eggs, bacon, sausage and some fantastic home fries. What a meal!

The menu also consists of breakfast staples like three-egg omelets, eggs benedict and French toast. Go wild with their buffalo chicken omelet or their bacon cheeseburger omelet. Flapjack's is also known for its clam chowder, which customers can take home. 

Flapjack's is a wonderful family spot. Kids will love the train that circles its way around the restaurant, along with the fish pond outside. They are open for breakfast, Wednesday-Sunday. , ,

There's something in the water in Brooklyn that makes their bagels taste so good, according to Brookyn Water Bagels. The small chain says the water is so key to making their bagels, that it filters the tap water at all of its locations and adds unique elements only found in Brooklyn water. All of their bagels are boiled in that Brooklyn water and baked fresh at all of their shops.

Brooklyn Water Bagels' only New England location is in Framingham, Massachusetts. Customers can watch how bagels are made before ordering. There are many types of bagels to choose from, including multi-colored bagels for the kids. I enjoyed their onion bagel with cream cheese. The coffee was an extra-special treat. All of their iced coffees, known as Cubstas, come with coffee ice cubes. It's a pretty tasty way to set themselves apart from all of the other bagel places. A few of their coffees are named after Larry King. He's a shareholder in the company and owns half of its Beverly Hills franchise.

Breakfast sandwiches are served all day. For lunch, try one of Brooklyn Water Bagels deli classics served on a bagel. Choose from favorites like a tuna melt, hot ham & swiss, roast beef and hot corned beef. , , ,

 The temperature is dropping and it's getting dark earlier. We all need some comfort this time of the year. Soothe your soul with the short rib bolognese on the menu right now at Bourbon's Kitchen & Cocktails in Framingham, Massachusetts. This hearty dish is made with generous portions of tender gnocchi and short ribs. It's topped with a thick, satisfying layer of cheese before it's baked. I paired the bolognese with a can of Citizen Cider from Vermont. It is the definition of PERFECT comfort food. , ,
