Vote for Orange County’s best locally owned diner in our poll

Everyone loves diners, whether it's for pancakes, eggs and coffee in the morning, a beefy burger for lunch or a filling family dinner, and there are many great local places to go. So what's the best diner in Orange County? That is the question in this week's Orange County Showdown poll. We're looking for the best locally owned diner, not one associated with a nationally recognized chain. As with a recent poll on the best pizza parlor in the county, we can't include every diner in the county. There are just too many. But we have selected diners representing a cross-section of the entire county. So go to the poll below. If you see one of your favorites there, let us know what it is. The poll will be open until midnight on Nov. 12. We'll report the results the following day. Mike Randall covers breaking news for the Times Herald-Record and the Poughkeepsie Journal.

Surprising dish at Eggholic in Jersey City

A couple of weeks ago, we made our way to Eggholic in Jersey City to discover a concept that's a little different from your typical Indian restaurant: founded in 2018 by cousins Bhagyesh and Lay Patel, Eggholic was inspired by the egg-centric street food of Gujarat, India, bringing dishes that are common at late-night food stalls back home to diners across the United States. What makes Eggholic unique is its celebration of eggs in all forms, from rich curries and sandwiches to street food specialties packed with bold spices and authentic flavors. The concept recreates the experience of India's bustling street-side food carts, where dishes are cooked fresh to order and meant to be shared with friends and family. This is a casual place where you will order at the counter and they will give you a number that you will put visibly on the table so they can bring your food when ready. We started off with some appetizers. The first one was dahi puri ($8.99), a popular Indian street food (chaat) made with small, crispy hollow puris that are filled with a mixture of potatoes, chickpeas, onions, and chutneys, then topped with dahi (yogurt) and various spices. I love these because they are crispy on the outside, creamy, sweet and savory, definitely a challenge to eat as, to get all the flavors, getting them in your mouth in one bite is the best. We also got their samosa ($3.99), that had a slight kick, but I admit that although I liked the filling, I did not like the shell at all that lacked the usual crispiness. For the main, we first got their paneer butter masala ($15.99) that is Indian cottage cheese (paneer) simmered in a buttery onion-tomato gravy. This was good, but quite spicy and I was happy to have a mango lassi ($5.99) to tame the spiciness. But the dish that blew me away was their boil tikka ($14.99). I mean, we are in a place that celebrates eggs, so we had to try an egg dish and I was not disappointed: it is made with sliced eggs sautéed in a rich, garlicky tomato gravy packed with spices. This one was not spicy and very comforting, eaten with roti ($2.98) and some rice. I simply loved it and will probably try to make it at home!

The California-based retailer announced plans this summer to open new locations in the Syracuse area and Yonkers as part of its latest nationwide expansion. The plans add to the company's growth in New York, which includes a Long Island store that opened earlier this year.

According to Trader Joe's, the two planned stores will be located at: Camillus: 3515 W. Genesee St., in the Syracuse area.
