| - I enjoy Caplansky's every time I come here. I just tried the pickled tongue for the first time and it was so delicious. I don't know why it's called "pickled" because it doesn't taste like pickles, but it is tender and interestingly textured with just a little bit of fatiness, and well seasoned. I also really like the smoked meat and the beef salami.
Last time I went, I discovered "the platter" and I think it's a great deal. For $24, you get to try all the meats - smoked meat, beef salami, beef tongue, chopped liver, and smoked turkey. It comes with a huge stack of rye bread, and is best to split between two people or maybe three if you're not that hungry. The only thing I didn't really like on the platter was the smoked turkey because I found it a bit dry.
The macaroni and cheese with smoked meat is also delicious ($9 for mac and cheese, +$2 for smoked meat). Actually, everything I've had there (and I think I've been through most of the menu) is well done and the quality of the food here is very consistent. You can also order traditional Jewish food like gefilte fish, knish, matzoh ball soup, etc. I will definitely keep coming back here!
