Speaking Of Knishes.... Another Restaurant With A gluten-free Menu

I mentioned awhile back that my family was starting a gluten free menu in one of our restaurants... well we did, and it's all set!

We don't have gluten free knishes (sorry), but we are a traditional Kosher restaurant (take out deli counter and sit down service). In the past 5 years, we have been voted by the readers of Westchester Magazine best pastrami and/or best kosher restaurant (depending on the year it was different categories).

We have lettuce wrap sandwiches of any of the cold cuts including: pastrami, corned beef, turkey, salami, roast beef, tongue, turkey-pastrami, ect.

Some entrees include: goulash over rice (it's like beef stew), omlettes, roast chicken, skirt steak and lots more.

Oh and the best soups!!! We have chicken rice every day and a soup of the day alternating throughout the week. Chicken Florentine (one of my personal favorites), Lentil (or another favorite), Potato and Pea Soup.

There is more stuff, but this is off the top of my head.

Here's the info:

Epsteins Kosher Deli

385 N. Central Avenue

Hartsdale, NY 10530

914-428-5320

I'm not there during the week, but if anyone was to stop by on a Saturday or Sunday around lunchtime or mid-afternoon, there is always a good chance I'm there eating or just saying hello.

hey I actually went there over the summer and it was soooo good!!! Your mom and dad are really nice. You have to thank them for me :) I have a random question, I remember reading that you've gone to a hibachi restaurant and had no problems. Which hibachi restaurant did you go to and what did you say to them?

Thanks

Erica

Thanks Erica!!!

We've been getting a great response from people.

Funny you should mention the hibachi place. I just went there again Saturday night. We go to Noda's in White Plains. I bring my San-J wheat free soy sauce with me, and the first time I brought my Triumph Dining card. I don't often use them (actually that was the 1st time I tried it), but I was afraid it might be to complicated to explain. I basically gave them the card and the soy sauce and explained that while my husband could have his food prepared with everyone elses, I needed them to cook mine in the back in a clean pan with clean utensils.

When we went this time I did the same, and was very pleasantly suprised that even though it had been probably over a month since the last time I was there, the waitress came back within a couple minutes with the dining card and said, "the chef has cooked for you before hasn't he?" I told her he had, and she said he remembers how to make my food!

They are really nice and accomodating there.

Yeah we love Noda's!! It was one of our favorite places before being diagnosed and I was so happy to figure out a way to continue going there.

Good luck for you boyfriends birthday. Let me know how it goes.

Thanks! we are going tonight. I'm really excited. :) But I have one more question, is it okay to have the salad with the dressing and the soup?

I'm so sorry I just saw this. I wasn't on all day. Unfortunately neither the salad dressing or the soup are safe. They usually just give me some oil and vinegar for the salad. I would have thought the soup was ok, but the manager (or owner) informed me that they add a tiny bit of soy sauce to it.

Let me know how it went!!!!!

It was soo good. At first the lady didn't understand me. She said that they will cook my food with everybody else but just put my soy sauce. but then I explained better and they cooked it in the back. it was really good . This is the first time that I went to Noda's and my stomach didn't hurt. Then after I had a piece of homemade cheesecake. It was great. :)

      Oral thrush question

      Hi Everyone, I do appreciate your replies to my original post. Here is where I am now in this journey. I am currently seeing a Naturopath. One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD. My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.

      Oral thrush question

      Hi @JulieRe. I just found your post. It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida. I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment. In the meantime, I have been working with a functional...

      Advice while waiting for testing

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct r...

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:
