Review: Totonnos’s

Dinner at Totonno’s on 2nd Ave & 26th in Kips Bay.

Margherita pizza with bacon:

Say Cheese!

This has nothing to do with bacon. Unless you are looking for a great place to buy cheese to make some fancy bacon pops or bacon-wrapped fried mac & cheese. But cheese may be my second favorite food so... The Brooklyn Larder just opened on Flatbush not far from the Q/B 7th Ave station—which just happens to be along my route home. The specialty cheese shop brought to you by Franny’s will also sell locally produced pickles, bread, and chocolate as well as their own gelato and sorbets. There will be a daily sandwich menu and a few seats up front to eat them. According to gothamist a bacon & hard boiled egg sandwich and a prosciutto & butter sandwich were on the opening day menu.  

“Is your breadmeat lackluster?”

For only $7.99 you can have your very own bottle of Squeez Bacon! Each bottle contains 16 servings—that’s like 64 slices of bacon! Scary part: a 12 year shelf life, no refrigeration needed. But hey... even bacon is made better with a squirt of Squeez Bacon.

Bacon rumors...

According to Slice, there is a possibility that Co.—Jim Lahey's new Chelsea pizzeria—may be serving up a pie involving Kentucky bacon. Very exciting. Regardless of whether bacon makes it on the menu or not, I look forward to trying "the Dom." It must be good if it's paying homage to Di Fara's.
