Lynn and I spent a decadent mid-week day on Shelter Island recently and had one of the best, most surprising lunches we have had in a long time. The cafe we usually frequent when we are on Shelter Island was closed which caused us to improvise and take a shot at dining at the Stars Cafe.

We Check out LT Burger in Westhampton Beach....
LT Burger in Sag Harbor has always been one of our favorite Hamptons spots. It is cheerful, the food is good, the staff are attentive and even intuitive. The interior has a playful but thoughtfully curated vibe including a crowd pleasing vintage Pac Man game. About a year ago, LTB opened a Westhampton outpost with a similar vibe and the same menu.

Dirty Taco lands in Patchogue with a splash...
The very recently opened Dirty Taco and Tequila in Patchogue, NY has landed with a splash in one of the most active and diverse food communities on Long Island. Taco oriented restaurants and tacos themselves have been elevated from what many considered an after school food to something (in some instances) approaching high end dining due to chef's using creative and non traditional ingredients.

Yay Sag Pizza!
Located in what was once the beloved pizza joint Conca D'Oro in Sag Harbor, Sag Pizza has established itself as one of the . The pizza is sublime with the Vongole pizza featuring clams being a particular favorite of Lynn's. However, what has really captivated Lynn and I have been the appetizer offerings of Mediterranean Octopus with fingerling potato and cured olives and the Calamari Fritti which is generously portioned and accented with shards of zucchini.
Sag Pizza has a reasonable and accessible wine list with local offerings from Wolfer Vineyards among others. The energy is relaxed and it is the rare Long Island eatery that has the innate flexibility to be both a family place and a date place.

Lucharitos brings wit and great Mexican fare to Long Island's North Fork
Lucharitos in Aquebogue is one of a group of "Lucharito's" that dot the East End/North Fork of Long Island (an exception being a location in Melville. The locations have become known for their reasonable and fresh Mexican inspired fare and, equally known for their witty and cheerful decor with Luchador Wrestling masks being central to the interior decoration.
The fried scallops were without a doubt the best, sweetest and juiciest we have had (and we have had some excellent ones over the years). Our bartender was attentive and friendly discussing the NFL playoffs and where the next outpost of Lucharitos might land (seemingly Riverhead).

Mark and Lynn love Fat Crow Mustard....
This Troy, NY company's mustard just came across our radar in a big way. The Horseradish and Pepper Mustard has become our favorite condiment of autumn with its savory bite and strong but not overpowering palate. The company also produces rubs, sauces, jams as well as other flavors of mustards that we are anxious to try.
