The Unassuming Rochester, New York Bakery That Only True Locals Know About
Certain bakeries shout with neon and a line out the door. Others quietly bake excellent things and let word of mouth handle the rest. A modest storefront in Rochester, New York has been turning out challah, babka, and seven layer cake since 1977. Nearly fifty years of the same work in the same room, which is long enough that the regulars have stopped explaining it to anyone and mostly just guard the address.

Popular Italian-American chain wants to open in Webster
Popular casual Italian-American restaurant chain Olive Garden wants to open a location on the site of the former UNO Pizzeria & Grill at 931 Holt Road in the Towne Center at Webster. The Webster Planning Board will consider Olive Garden’s proposal at its meeting at 7 p.m. Oct. 6 at Webster Town Hall, 1002 Ridge Road. The restaurant would have seating for more than 200 people and a to-go area. Known for serving unlimited homemade soup or salad and warm garlic bread sticks with its entrées, Olive Garden now is running a never-ending pasta bowl special for $14.99. The Webster UNO closed on New Year’s Eve 2024 and was the chain’s last remaining location in upstate New York. Currently, there are three Olive Garden restaurants in the greater Rochester area — in Greece, Henrietta and Victor. Based in Orlando, Olive Garden has 953 restaurants across the United States. A 2026 study published by YouGov revealed that Olive Garden is the most-considered restaurant by baby boomers, Gen Xers and millennials, although boomers picked it by a larger margin. The question put to participants was: When you are in market next to purchase food or drink, from which of the following would

USA TODAY names a Rochester pastrami sandwich one of the country's best
Barry Kucker has been selling meats at the Rochester Public Market for almost 25 years. For the past decade or so, he's been serving hot pastrami sandwiches only on Saturdays. "The idea was to have one great sandwich which people would come to my stand for and see some other things I sell," he said. It didn't go as planned. His pastrami sandwiches developed a loyal following, but few of those customers bite on the (uncooked) duck, Wagyu beef, kurobuta pork, boar, elk and rabbit he also sells. "I was trying to chase them into my net but it didn’t happen like that," he said. In a twist of fate, his pastrami sandwich is getting even more attention. A new list published Sept. 25 by USA TODAY named Fare Game's pastrami sandwich one of the best sandwiches in the country. These sandwiches are not fancy. The pastrami comes from a deli meat company in Detroit. He steams the meat in a steamer pot that can hold only so much; his stand is limited in terms of space and power outlets. Some of his customers will buy the cooked pastrami by the pound to take home. “I cook as much as
