My wife likes to have a plan with the market cheese cakes and she got the recipe from America. Make the cheese cake. This is the best cheese cake. You can still get the local ingredients as long as they are the same and the oven is the same and the humidity and the elevation has to be the same when you bake something. Yeah, so then this is when you bake. I feel my back and oven at the same time at the same location. That's what you should say. Food is life. You know the Yeah, so Yeast is alive. Yeah. Is uh So the So that Okay, so to you. Yeah. Happy early birthday. So six times cheese come to New York. cheese is to do. Right. It can't be all that. It can't be all that. So we have to make our own blend. Okay. So it's mission in It's all the same. And we have to make the sauce as the best of It's out for ends. And and Does it have to go to the top? >> [laughter] >> Okay, so in the Naya Cucina, the Naya high-end restaurant. best quality. Okay. the best of the pizzas that I can give. So, >> [clears throat] >> Yeah. >> [clears throat] >> to do pizzas and pastas. but since in the kitchen is making them in the best the second was to do that in the chef with since we're making The pizza shop? >> Yeah, and making high end the mission depend on vodka with the sounds I famous but still Yeah. It's my clients the pasta which feels like the fresh rosemary fresh fresh basil was elevate was marked the the dish I can make and you make on the open place by the order and it's all you need to eat the salad the best the lettuce was to do that in in in the in the copying as a Mediterranean Italian style This is this has the Italian style. It's fancy food to was was the market as I can make it back and this this copy the same the essence to unbelievable. These are the pizza doing cucina and the pizza and Mendelson's. So I push it to Mendelson's is a the pizza is like a hybrid and so much of the essence of routine do the pizza is a sourdough pizza and it's sourdough yeah sourdough Okay. in South Italy Hilton style and we get spilled the Hilton style highest the the the tigers I must so it's like crispy and making over the climate type a climate pie of pizza Also I made a personal pie. >> personal pie in in the sourdough so much of the so it taste different in the source is like in the the making toast is like a feeling in the toast that the the tiger that my hand the source since we spilled with the source to make a special source with taste good to of the sourdough of the sourdough and I can make this unbelievable. And with that place stickle some kind of home and I mentioned came to make so by night the night we and some are certain requirements >> Yeah. and it's from a company things whatever. And it's a very high end very high end dining experience. And this is do. Opportunity in Lakewood. And a transition My my my. So I was right it was a steam. Let's do it. Okay. So It's going to be this way. What's kicking do? What's the most popular? What's got the best? And maybe they and we got to serve it up China. High high end so then Mendelson's the pizza gets on with doing so feeling I can't Okay. You guys so much of a standard but the the menu do in the bar park location the feed out is actually Absolutely maybe ended. I mean this the favorites hobby I forget them and I can see the the breaded cauliflower. It's good to know. It's good to know. Okay, good to know. It's good to know. Amazing pastas, pizzas, knishes. French all the dues and all the fish over stock fish and the fish do over you guys bring in the menu or the north of the the best sellers? The best sellers. Most of the french fries and my alliance if I just know I need to shift this my alliance french fries except the high end steak houses. Okay. It's my alliance of just got me schlepping dog. The sauce got me schlepping dog. All the sauces, all the chicken, I feel like the the toppings for the pizza got me schlepping from New Dog for those ones. So I'm so is that what I was schlepping my guys to do the same thing to do and bring it out every Tuesday the idea is I should bring the essence from the kitchen this is the basement upstairs got me struggling come Lakewood. This is the husband and this is the I mentioned the way we can control and we can't control and the idea control and make sure as a coif do coif Lakewood so the open the same smack, the same essence, the same town. Okay. In What was I What was I going to say on the the shoes Lakewood is to do with the island of aspect? So it's nice to have a niche and sky and soft opening glad you don't give. Okay. As you can see So I >> So, do you still have a a pizza shop like with the pizza with the sauce? Do you confident as you can do make a strong pizza? So, in some kind of pizza shop, you can make a good pizza with the sauce and the pizza store. Make a good pizza store, what's the What's the most popular pizza store? But then it's a good pizza most popular pizza. It's the best pizza. And serving of China is also feeling as I can get some giant plain pizza store. But then this this was the idea to do that. And in some kind of pizza shop, you can make a good pizza with the sauce and the pizza store. It's going to be a good pizza with the sauce. People should feel that they're getting something elevated. You know? The mean pizzas has to do in the kitchen. It's a lot. What's the number? It's my favorite pizza with the sauce. It's awesome. Besides, what's my favorite pizza with the sauce? Besides, mention personal as always as always. But this is my favorite pizza with the sauce. It's awesome. Wow. So, what kind of pizza is your personal favorite? It's a lot. Um For me, it's the potato onion. I don't know why. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I really like mushroom onion. Mushroom onion is also good. >> Mushroom onion is my favorite. And in what do you like to eat pizza? What's on the menu at Mendelson's? Not pizza. I really like the fish. The fish is good. It's fresh. You cook it the right way. And selling fish for $18, $20. This is the fish market and it's very expensive. In any restaurant, it's always a piece of fish for $30. And it's it's my favorite fish. This is like the the proteins is healthy. It's not healthy too. It's not junk too. I wish you say healthy doing I even say the fish. Okay. salmon baked salmon the grilled salmon is like a smack. In this is the one do not cucina. What is the favorite items of the menu? So It's for example it's not so healthy in all this. But you have to eat healthy. So the salads are not healthy salads. I feel like the tuna is a fresh tuna salad. Again the pasta that I make is healthy. And the fish is healthy too. All good. It's healthy. And and so the salads and the appetizers are healthy.
