Food Friday: Krell’s East Coast Style Delicatessen

I’ve only been to the east coast of the United States a few times and never north of Maryland, so I’ve never really been to a true delicatessen. I’m going to take the advice of others when they tell me that the recently opened Krell’s Deli is pretty much what they’re like.

Opened just in March of this year, I’ve already been twice and looking forward to more trips. On my first trip I got the egg salad sandwich, it was really good. I was a bit thrown off by the lettuce and tomato on it but loved the wheat berry bread. Big K had the pastrami special, it looked so good I knew I had to try it next. That’s what I had on my second visit, so much hot pastrami piled on to the bread with Swiss cheese and cole slaw. The flavors just melded together to make a really good sandwich plus it was so big I couldn’t finish the fries that we were sharing.

I love the service there as well, after you order and find a place to sit, someone is at your table bringing some homemade pickles and peppers. These are so good, I don’t normally like bread and butter pickles but theirs are great. You also don’t wait long for your food, every time I have visited there is a full crew in back working on sandwiches. I have also gotten the fries as a side, these are huge steak fries that have been cooked perfectly. I have been so full when leaving that I haven’t had a chance to try their desserts but those lemon bars keep calling, I’m going to get some to go next trip.

Easy to find their location, on Yukon Parkway in the strip mall just south of the high school. I highly recommend them, maybe I’ll even see you there. 5 strips of bacon with a side of pickles.

Address: 2121 S Yukon Parkway Suite 150, Yukon.

Food Friday: The Lokal

 

Last Friday was a cold and rainy day, which meant time for some comfort food.  So I braved the water and drove to Yukon to experience The Lokal, a new restaurant on old Route 66.  Tucked away on the western most corner of an old grocery store is where you’ll find this new location for culinary delights.

Being early lunch time, I was seated immediately.  Nice large wooden table but I hate those metal chairs that are everywhere now, just not comfortable.  My order was taken quickly and yes I started with some of their famous deep fried deviled eggs.  Regular deviled eggs are great (especially when my husband makes them) but bread and deep fry them, better than anything at the fair.  The egg whites themselves are the only thing deep fried, the yolk is mixed with other ingredients and placed on top.  The 6 eggs (yes I ate 2 before I took the pic) come with a side of jalapeno ranch that really gives a spicy kick to an already wonderful appetizer.

Next up was my lunch sized chicken fried steak.  If this is lunch sized, then dinner sized must take up the rest of the plate because it was huge (not that I’m complaining).  Along with my side of mashed potatoes, the steak was generously drowned in cream gravy.  So much so that my fried okra came in a bowl, just to keep them dry.  After I polished off those eggs, I started on the steak.  Fried to a crisp gold brown perfection, the breading was light and took nothing away from the flavor of the steak.  The steak itself was very tender and easy to cut.  The mashed potatoes were great as well, complete with some actual potato chunks and skins.  As good as all of it was, the cream gravy was the star.  They must use real cream in it, I made sure every bite I took had some of that gravy on it including my okra.

Then for dessert I took home a slice of red velvet cheesecake.  The red velvet part was perfect as was the cheesecake.  The service the entire time was wonderful and my food was delivered quickly.  I highly recommend that you check it out while in Yukon.  Go for the deep fried deviled eggs, stay for the cream gravy, 5 strips of bacon from me.

Address: 10 W. Main St., Suite 165, Yukon; 1036 E. State Highway 152, Suite 112, Mustang.
