Cupid Eats At Memphis Mae's In Croton-on-Hudson, NY

mem1207.jpg

A few weeks ago we took you to a great barbeque place called Memphis Mae's on Croton-on-Hudson.

The viewer who met us there, Donna Devine was so nice and we enjoyed a great lunch. But what we didn't realize at the time was that there was a love connection being made.

While she eats at that place all the time, Donna and Memphis Mae's owner Jeff had never really talked. Well, looks like Cupid loves barbeque because sparks started flying and they hit it off during our taping. Now Donna and Jeff are dating! Congratulations, you two!

Memphis Mae's part of a strip mall and located at 173 South Riverside Avenue, Croton-on-Hudson, New York 10520. And, who knows, maybe some devine romance will strike there again.

Upscale dining in an atmosphere where you can feel completely comfortable in a t-shirt and jeans. The focus is on the food at a unique Garden City, NY café. This week, Chris takes you to Franklin Avenue on Long Island for this week's edition of Neighborhood Bites.

There's lots of little neat spots along Franklin Avenue, but Upper Crust Café (located at 931 Franklin Avenue, Garden City). is one of the brighter stars, and it's always packed for dinner. The lunch business is getting brisk now too.

Special congratulations to viewers Amy and her husband, who turned us on to this place. Since Chris had lunch with them, she gave birth to a daughter named Ella.

Viewer Paul Fremder tipped us off to a special little Italian place, where many of the owner's recipes came from his grandmother. Sounds traditional right? But he turns others upside down using tons of soy sauce everyday!

This week's Neighborhood Bite is Annabella's Italian American, located at 246 Hackensack Street East Rutherford, NJ 07073, not too far from the New Meadowland Stadum.

To tell Chris about your favorite hole-in-the-wall place, email him at cburrous@wpix.com or hit him up on Facebook. Be sure to include the name of the place, and what your favorite dish is.

Memphis Mae's is tucked away in a strip mall but it's clearly the star of the lot. The BBQ joint is located at 173 South Riverside Avenue, Croton-on-Hudson, New York 10520.

To tell Chris about your favorite hole-in-the-wall place, email him at cburrous@wpix.com or hit him up on Facebook. Be sure to include the name of the place, and what your favorite dish is.

Burrous' Bites: Metro Diner on the Upper West Side

For this week's edition of Neighborhood Bites, we were tipped off to a place called Metro Diner located at Broadway and 100th Street. Not only is it big to the locals but a few New York celebrities such as Mayor Michael Bloomberg and former Governor Elliot Spitzer have stopped in for the amazing food.

From the Belgium Waffles, to the tuna melt, and even the skirt steak the Metro Diner falls under the category of very good and a bit pricey, but it is well worth it.

Chris would love to check out your favorite hole-in-the-wall place to eat. E-mail him at morningnews@wpix.com.

For this week's edition of Neighborhood Bites, we got tipped off to a place in West New York, New Jersey, where they have only one thing on the menu -- steak sandwiches -- and it's been this way for two decades.

Dos Amigos is located at 3500 Bergenline Avenue, West New York, NJ 07093. Chris recommends you try the steak sandwich with cheese. He says the extra moisture really helps bind it all together.

And he'd love to check out your favorite hole-in-the-wall place to eat. E-mail him at morningnews@wpix.com.
