Javits Center Food Show
Great day today! Went to the Food Show at the Javits Center with George Motz. Had fun running through the place trying out a lot of food and spices. Then George screened his movie and then we had a Q&A session. I was on the panel.

Our most recent special
Our most recent “special” is braised lamb shank w/ garlic mashed potatoes, spicy warm kraut, onion and cabbage, and a light sauce made from a reduction of the braising liquid.
We braise pork ribs with RC Cola, and Beef Ribs with Dark Amber Beer. What do we braise lamb shanks with? Apple Cider! You can taste it when you eat the bits of cabbage that braised w/ the shank.
The shanks are .75 to 1 lbs. All that sells for $9.10, or with two shanks for $15.35. Either way a good deal!
Nearly naked food: Salt, Pepper, Lamb Shank, Cabbage, Onion, Shallots, and that’s it!. The sauce is mounted w/ our famous Schnack Sauce; not so naked!

Feedback
Some thoughts about Schnack and our new menu.. from "A Brooklyn Life." Click Here
"Schnack on Union Street raised its prices. The new menu focuses more on burgers and dogs (now the black Angus beef dog from Stahl-Meyer), ... Personally, when I crave Schnack, it's the burgers I'm after."

Fresh Keg Beer
The removing of Dentergems (a great beer, but our least popular one) will allow us from time to time to take advantage of special seasonal beers (as well as beers on special). We are hoping that the first special beer we get will be a keg of Dog Fish Head Punkin Ale.
This is part of the structure of new menu, designed to let us focus on the four most popular areas of our business: burgers, dogs, fresh keg bee,r & unique specials.
Learn more about Punkin Ale.
Learn more about DFH Chicory Stout, used in our award winning Beer Milk Shake..

New menu news
The final edits on the new menu have been approved and we expect the new menu to go into effect some time between Xmas and New Years..
Thanks for your loyalty the last 3 years. We hope that you will be as excited by our new menu as we are. The menu has been pared down to the basics, and many of the dishes that have been removed will be back as specials.
Specials are one reason we have pared down the menu. We want to be able to offer more specials, more often; specials are something we have become famous for and we want to build on that tradition while still offering quality burgers and dogs.

Grace Lee
A fun thing about the restaurant business is meeting people. Today I had the pleasure of talking on the phone with filmmaker, Grace Lee, about screening her movie, "The best of the Wurst" at Broome Doggs (250 Broome St.).
We called her because last week she actually stopped by Broome Doggs for a currywurst, as she just happened to be staying in the area.
The Grace Lee Project is currently screening at the Film Forum..
