Welcome!

Welcome to the Abie’s Smoked Meat & Steak blog, appropriately named:  “Food for Thought”!

Hello to one and all!
Welcome to my first ever “blog”!
Right off the bat, I would like to thank Lissa Albert for coming up with the name of my blog and letting me use it without the threat of a lawsuit! LOL!
Since this is “#1″, I would just like to outline what I will be talking about in this, and future posts. I want this Blog to be about my favorite subject of all………FOOD!

Certainly, I will be discussing subjects pertaining to my Restaurant, but I would also like to take the time to talk about food in general;  How it is grown, made, sold, prepared and eaten.

My love of food goes way beyond the walls of Abie’s Smoked Meat & Steak.  I have cooked for as long as I can remember and trained as a chef at Lasalle College.

Food in my family, and in most families  is a ritual of love, tradition and gatherings of  happy moments.  Don’t we  notice that all the best parties end up in the kitchen!?!

As my friends and family are well aware of, I love spending time in the kitchen cooking for them.  I love to see the smiles on their faces when then try a dish that I prepared.  That’s what it’s all about…the smile.

And that sentiment carries on to my business life at Abie’s.  If you make a person smile when he or she walks into the restaurant, and if they are still smiling when they leave, then I’ve done my job!

So I will leave you now, and please take a small piece of advice from me about any food…Eat with your family.  It’s a special time when love and laughter, happy and sad or a moment of the day is shared.  That is THE most important thing in this world!

See you all soon,

Abie
