Outdoor Patio Dining at TooJay’s

Florida’s beautiful weather year-round is one of the many benefits of living in the sunshine state. During the pandemic, more people have embraced the outdoors and use it as a safe escape from being cooped up inside. As people become acclimated to this new “normal,” they are beginning to venture out and enjoy their favorite activities once again but with precautions like outdoor patio dining always top of mind.

Luckily for food lovers, restaurants have been able to reopen safely and implement safety guidelines to ease guests’ worries. Additionally, outdoor seating at restaurants has given people peace of mind and for Floridians, it is something that they can enjoy year-round.

Advantages of Outdoor Patio Dining

It is probably safe to say that most food lovers consider that, aside from the quality of the food, the most enjoyable part of eating out is the experience itself, which can consist of but is not limited to:

Décor – The restaurant has a “theme” (i.e. sports or movie memorabilia), artwork or furniture that is unique or people find interesting.
Service – What everyone mainly looks for when eating at a restaurant is the convenience of not having to cook or wash dishes and pans. Being taken care of by someone else is also great, and it’s always a plus when the servers and restaurant management are attentive and make guests feel welcome.
Atmosphere – Different moods, budgets, and occasions call for different choices in restaurants. For example, couples who celebrate anniversaries or a birthday tend to go to spots that are fancier or have a quiet and romantic setting. Parents who pick up their kids from sports practices would likely stop at a family-friendly restaurant.

Whatever the reason might be, the experience of eating out is usually positive and patio dining is always a joyful experience when the weather is nice. Aside from the obvious choice of avoiding a confined space during the pandemic, patio dining offers guests the advantage of being under the sun and the feel of fresh air while enjoying a delicious meal. For guests who usually feel uncomfortable and cold eating inside air-conditioned settings for a long period of time, outdoor seating is also a great alternative to be more relaxed. Guests looking for a quiet area of a busy restaurant to sit down and read a book or talk on the phone without bothering other patrons have also found that outside dining is the way to go.

Outdoor Patio Dining Trends

As the weather began getting warmer in the early weeks of the pandemic, many restaurants opted to expand their outdoor areas in an effort to create COVID-safe environments and attract more clientele, sometimes even going as far as using sidewalks and closing streets to create open air dining rooms. While this was a no brainer trend then, now restaurants in northern states face the problem of the return of cold weather, which will definitely result in a decrease of clientele.

For Floridians, eating outside is almost always an option. As we enter the winter season, patio dining becomes even more accessible and a popular choice since the weather is still warm enough in most parts of the state.

With locations throughout Florida, TooJay’s Deli is always delighted to host new and loyal returning guests in accordance with all state and local requirements for COVID safety, including patio dining availability at the following restaurants:

Holiday Meals Keep Spirits Bright

It’s that time of year again, with Thanksgiving behind us and the holiday season officially in full swing. Although most of us will have far fewer guests around the table this year, people are adapting and finding safe ways to enjoy their downsized holiday meals.

Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukah, or any other seasonal tradition, great food is the centerpiece that brings everyone together. And while it’s admirable to do all the cooking yourself, it indeed is a tremendous amount of work. If you want to really enjoy your guests and the bountiful meal you serve, then ordering your holiday meals from TooJay’s Deli is the way to go. You’ll get the double benefit of delicious holiday favorites with little or no cooking required. With that decision made, you can relax and have fun planning everything else that goes into a memorable holiday celebration. The following tips can help:

2020 Holiday Meal Basics

If you haven’t already done so, determine how many guests you can invite, based on the space you’ll need for social distancing. Consider hosting your holiday celebration outside in the backyard or on a balcony if space permits. The primary concern is that everyone feels comfortable with your plan. If your family and friends aren’t visiting for the holidays this year, plan a ZOOM call or Facetime, the next best thing to being here.

Holiday Meals of any size

The holidays may not be traditional this year. However, the foods still can be, starting with TooJay’s famous Nova Latkes for Hanukah and the restaurant’s tempting selection of traditional Christmas dinners. Whether you’ll be dining alone or with a small group, it’s easy to have TooJay’s do the cooking for your holiday meal. Narrow your choices, create a concise menu based on what your guests like best, and consider whether any children will be there and other food preferences.

TooJay’s Deli offers traditional holiday catering packages featuring a variety of popular sides and famously decadent desserts. Orders must be placed in advance, and contactless curbside pickup is available.

Buffet, plated, or family-style?

Should you serve the meal buffet, plated, or family-style this year? The answer depends on the number of guests, the amount of space you have, and how comfortable your guests will be. It’s all about social distancing this year, so plated meals are likely to be the popular choice. If any of your guests have offered to help, consider designating a spot in the kitchen for filling and re-filling people’s plates, so only one person needs to handle the serving utensils.

Festive Beverages

If you’re hunting for the best selection of holiday beverages,consider a festive iced tea or lemonade made with bright, flavorful fruits, such as TooJay’s Peach Tea or Strawberry Lemonade. Make an alcohol-free version for the kids and add some sparkling wine for the grown-up batch. It just might become a family tradition! Beyond your signature beverage, stick to the basics: red and white wine, beer, plain and bubbly water, juice for the kids, and coffee and tea for dessert.

Holiday Meals and Table Décor

A table setting is as much of an art as cooking. A touch of nostalgia from your family’s holiday memorabilia mixed with new decorations you’ve collected along the way are part of the season’s magic and sure to keep your spirits bright. Your table setting doesn’t need to be complicated, expensive, or challenging to create; it just needs to be a labor of love.

Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff

Don’t overschedule, overindulge, or overspend. Take the time to stop and smell the roses, or more likely, the aroma of the turkey roasting in the oven! Think about what the holiday season means to you. Rather than worrying about cooking the “perfect” holiday dinner, let TooJay’s Deli do the cooking so you can enjoy the celebration you’ve planned.

Check out our Catering Video to learn more about contactless catering delivery!

Happy holidays to you all from the TooJay’s Team!

Charcuterie: Get on the Board!

The Perfect At-Home Activity

Calling all at-home epicureans! Most of us are spending much more time at home than ever before, there’s never been a better time to showcase your creative kitchen skills with the widespread phenomenon known as the charcuterie board.

If you’re a foodie with a passion for exciting combinations of meats, cheeses, colorful fruits, and vegetables served with crunchy artisanal bread, you’ll love the many ways these versatile ingredients complement each other. Charcuterie boards are surprisingly easy to arrange, don’t need to be expensive, and offer the variety you need to please everyone’s appetite. These are perfect for date night or family game night! Here’s where to start:

Foundation

The first thing you’ll need for your charcuterie masterpiece is the foundation, typically a platter, tray, or board made of wood or marble. Feel free to get creative and use whatever type of foundation you have on hand. You’ll also need some small dishes to place on the board for dips, nuts, or olives. A variety of shapes and colors will make your presentation pop, so feel free to use whatever you have in your cabinets.

The size of the foundation matters, as the more extensive the board you use, the more you’ll need to fill it. The great thing about charcuterie boards is their versatility, so there’s no right or wrong. Use your imagination, get creative, and have fun.

Meats & Cheeses

Variety is the essence of a charcuterie board, so you should include at least three types of cheeses and meats on your board. You can visit the deli counter at TooJay’s Deli and have them slice the exact amounts of meats and cheeses you need. The extensive menu includes provolone, Muenster, pastrami, roast beef, and more. If you’re in the mood for something straightforward and delicious, TooJay’s also offers an assortment of convenient catering platters of meats, cheeses, vegetables, and fruits, which you can deconstruct and use to build your board. Ordering is accessible by phone or online.

Extra Charcuterie Items

Although meats and cheeses are the stars of the show, other great ingredients can jazz up your board and make it your own unique creation. Jellies, jams, and spreads add another nice texture, especially if you don’t have a spreadable cheese on the board. Fruits and veggies add a fresh touch, balance the meats and cheeses’ saltiness, and provide a nice pop of color. Strawberries and grapes add a naturally fresh touch alongside the crunchiness of nuts, such as almonds and walnuts. Last but certainly not least, you’ll need a variety of bread and crackers. Pick up some of TooJay’s famous Rye Bread and cut slices into quarters for the perfect pairing.

Build Your Charcuterie Board

Now that you have your foundation and items, it’s time to build your charcuterie board. Think of it as creating a culinary collage. First, add structure by placing the smaller bowls with nuts or spreads on the board and continue to build your display around them. Folding each slice of meat gives a layered look and makes it easier to select a piece without touching the surrounding slices. It’s okay if items overlap and seem to blend together, like a delicious tapestry. Then add the crackers or bread, conveniently placing them near the meats and cheeses. Rather than just laying everything flat, you may want to stack some things and let others fall to the side. Fill in the open spots with colorful fruits, veggies, and any other garnishes you prefer.

4 S’s of Charcuterie: Sweet, Savory, Salty, Spicy

Make sure you keep the 4 S’s of Charcuterie foremost in your mind as you decide what items to include; this keeps your board balanced and ensures that it will delight your taste buds!

Sweet. Fruit (fresh and dried): grapes, strawberries, dates, blueberries, raspberries, cherries, figs, etc. Your spreads can also be sweet like the apricot jam, fig spread, jellies, etc.
Savory. The cheese and meats take charge here. Prepare to have at least 3 varieties of each.
Salty. Because the meats are cured, they are also salty. Cheese, nuts, and crackers are other sources of salty items.
Spicy. You don’t need to go overboard here – maybe one or two items. Just make sure you let your guests know where the heat is on your charcuterie.

Voila! Your board is now ready to enjoy! The combination of sweet and savory flavors in an aesthetically pleasing arrangement is sure to get rave reviews. And since no French dish is complete without wine, choose a selection that pairs well with the meats and cheeses on your board.

All you need for a fantastic charcuterie board is a little imagination and a lot of appreciation for how delicious it can be. Whether you keep your board simple or dress it up, no rules apply. Whether you’re quarantining at home or social distancing with friends, a charcuterie board is a perfect way to make a meal your own.

With 20 locations spanning from the Villages to Orlando, and all the way down to Plantation, TooJay’s has been providing Florida with Deli-style delights like Meats and Cheeses since 1981.

Who Invented The Hamburger?

The American steakhouse, a similar hamburger sandwich, was requested by sailors on ships from Hamburg to New York. The German chef Otto Kuasw in 1891 in Hamburg, Germany, his version of the creation of a hamburger was to create a very popular sailor sandwich with fried egg, fried butter and served on a toasted bun. The secret ingredients used in the recipe, such as bacon, eggs, cheese, mustard, salt and pepper, were primitive.

In the late 1880s, Fletcher Davis of Athens, Texas, claimed to have invented the hamburger, but this claim was refuted without supporting the claim. Enthusiasts claim it was founded in 1884 by a chef named Sauerbrown or “Little Victor” in a community in the Brazilian state of Rio de Janeiro.

According to oral tradition, he opened a lunch break and served fried mince pies with a variety of other meats such as chicken, pork, beef and pork ribs.

Other inventions and stories may claim to explain why the sandwich is called a hamburger, but the Menches Brothers of 1885 claim it was their invention. When I start to toast my hair I feel a little like this: They say that it’s not really a “hamburger” because of the toasted bread.

In the 1880s, she is said to have opened a lunch counter serving fried mince pies with a side of hamburgers on top. It was a man named Fletcher Davis from Texas who claimed to have invented the hamburger and explained everything.

Fletcher and his wife ran a booth at the World’s Fair, and the term “Salisbury Steak” appeared in print in 1897. This is considered a precursor of the modern hamburger and was seen as a possible place for the creation of hamburgers, which of course means that more than one person could have created it. Salisbury steak’s fried pies are considered the forerunner of today’s burger, which is made with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, garlic, onions and tomato sauce.

Brothers Charles and Frank Menches claimed credit for the creation when they ran out of pork sausages at the Erie County Fair in 1885 and replaced their sandwich with beef. They were also named inventors of the beef patty and buns, but claim to have been wedged in between.

Enthusiasm for America’s favorite sandwich has gathered pace, and the day is reminiscent of the hamburger sandwich that took place at the Erie County Fair in 1885.

Legend has it that Menches ran for the first time at the age of 12, with a hamburger sandwich in his hand, over the course of the fair.

The German butchers happened to be in Hamburg, they decided to name the new dish after him and decided to call it Hamburger. They suggested replacing ground beef, but the sandwich became more popular, so they christened the beef sandwich after their new-found success the hamburger. The German butcher, who happened to be more a butcher than a pig, decided he needed a name for it.

Gray apparently bought sandwiches from a local bakery to serve his hamburgers with chopped onions, katsup and mustard.

Fletcher Davis is the man credited with bringing his hamburger stand to the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, where it was recognized and achieved national fame. The story is that Davis and his wife Ciddy ran a sandwich stall at the St. Louis City and County Fair in 1905 and the St. Louis International Fair in 1903. Her family claims the two brothers invented the hamburgers while travelling in the 1880s.

History says they ran out of pork, so they ground beef and served it at work. So they took inspiration from the town they were in and called it a hamburger, but they didn’t know what to call it.

According to the Library of Congress, Louis Lassen sold the first hamburger in the United States in 1900. He is also said to have served it at a lunch called Louis’ Lunch Wagon in New Haven, Connecticut.

The fast-food chain Weiße Burg honored Otto Kuase, who in 1891 prepared a beef patty in butter and garnished it with a fried egg (which was later omitted). Charlie claimed he sold meatballs and called them hamburger steaks, which were familiar to German immigrants on the ground.

The family of Oscar Weber Bilby says he invented the hamburger in 1891, and his son-in-law and co-founder of the Weisse Burg says he did not.

The Hamburger Rundstube was already popular in 1869 and is considered the forerunner of the modern Hamburg. Although the invention is controversial, similar foods have existed in Germany at least since the mid-19th century, and the hamburger steak is known in the USA as hamburger steak, hamburger steaks or hamburger steaks.

Halloween Safety Tips

Halloween: Playing it Safe this Year

October ushers in Halloween, a boo-tiful American holiday rich in fall traditions for the whole family to enjoy. Beyond the fanciful witches, ghosts, and goblins, Halloween will look different this year. There are many reasons to stop and think about how to have fun and stay safe this Halloween.

Halloween Costumes

While costumes surprise and delight us with their creativity, they need to be safe, especially with young children out in the neighborhood at night. Light-colored costumes are a safer choice than dark ones for trick-or-treaters and can be made even safer by adding reflectors and reflective tape. Carrying a flashlight adds an extra dimension of visibility. Kids need to see and be seen, so be sure their masks don’t cover their eyes. Using non-toxic face paint or makeup rather than a mask can help avoid obstructing your child’s vision.

This year’s Halloween will be different from years past, with the CDC warning that costume masks should not be considered a substitute for coronavirus masks unless they have been specially designed with two or more layers of breathable fabric covering the nose and mouth and no gaps around the face.

Costumes also should fit properly and not drag on the ground, thus preventing trips and falls. All costumes, wigs, and accessories should be fire retardant.

Trick-Or-Treating

Trick-or-treating is the highlight of the night for most kids, but the CDC ranks it as higher risk activity during the pandemic. It’s best to assess your local area’s situation regarding the virus when deciding whether to venture out or stay home.

If you decide to trick-or-treat, keep in mind that an adult should accompany children 12 and under. Youngsters who are mature enough to go out with friends without adult supervision should be reminded to stay in small groups, in familiar areas that are well lit. Remind them to be alert for cars, stick to sidewalks, and always look both ways before crossing the street. If your neighborhood doesn’t have sidewalks, encourage kids to walk as close to the edge of the road as possible, facing traffic. Flashlights and glowsticks help assure they are seen.

Due to COVID-19 concerns, it is also recommended to accept only wrapped candy for children not to eat any of it until you have inspected it, sanitize their hands after touching anything, and avoid contact with strangers. To be extra safe, take another step by sanitizing all the candy wrappers before opening them up and eating the candy inside.

Halloween Home Safety

Black and White Cookie Image from TooJay's Deli

If you want to join the trick-or-treating fun this year and welcome the neighborhood kids in costume at your door, there are ways to do it safely. Keep the outside of your house well-lit and clear out your walkway, steps, and porch to avoid anyone tripping. Since direct contact is not recommended, put together goodie bags and leave them on the porch or driveway for trick-or-treaters to grab while staying socially distant. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly before assembling the treats. Goodie bags can be as easy as picking up some cookies from TooJay’s Deli’s delicious bakery.

COVID-19 Friendly Activities

After dinner, carve pumpkins with family or friends in a small group, create a Halloween scavenger hunt around the house or enjoy a Halloween-themed game night. If you want to be extra safe and still see your friends in costume, a virtual costume contest may be the way to go.

No matter how you decide to celebrate this year, have a safe and spooktacular Halloween!

TooJay’s Offers the Best Burger in Florida with a Deli Twist

Original article posted here: https://www.toojays.com/toojays-offers-the-best-burger-in-florida-with-a-deli-twist/

Burger History

It should come as no surprise that the hamburger is one of America’s favorite and most recognizable foods due to its versatility, variety, and simplicity. What is not to love about the combination of a juicy patty, freshly baked bun, melted cheese, and fresh toppings of tomatoes, lettuce, and onions? Even though its origins are traced back to the city of Hamburg in Germany, the modern burger was popularized and commercialized first in the United States as early as the late 19th century. Throughout the years, burgers have evolved into a whole new experience that satisfies food lovers everywhere. With a variety of new flavors and creative twists on the all-time favorite, the country has become even more obsessed. CHeck out the Florida Burger Map Here.

When Deli meets Burger

When people think of traditional New York-style delis, many things come to mind, including cold cut sandwiches, rye bread, soup, corned beef, bagels, and more. Burgers, however, don’t usually make a list. Paragraph: In the spirit of embracing the tradition of enjoying America’s favorite sandwich, TooJay’s Deli has had classic and unique versions of this delectable dish for years. If you’re looking to expand your palate and try new burger flavors and variations, look no further. From Altamonte Springs all the way down to Dania Beach, TooJay’s is serving up tasty burgers at all of its locations throughout Florida.

How TooJay’s builds the Best Burgers in Florida!

TooJay’s signature burgers include the Burger á la TooJay’s (topped with mushrooms, smokehouse bacon and melted Muenster cheese), the Chipotle Bacon Burger (caramelized onions, smokehouse bacon, Swiss cheese, arugula, and chipotle mayo), and the traditional Patty Melt (a grilled burger topped with chipotle mayo, caramelized onions and Swiss cheese on grilled rye).

The New York-style deli has added a signature ingredient to its burger – pastrami. One of TooJay’s most popular items, the Pastrami Burger, has juicy sirloin rolled in a house pastrami rub and topped with tender pastrami, caramelized onions, Swiss cheese and chipotle mayonnaise in between a freshly baked brioche bun. Combining the flavors of a favorite deli sandwich with a cherished classic, this mouth watering classic provides the best of both worlds.

Building your own Hamburger at TooJay’s

For guests who love to customize their meals, TooJay’s has a build your own option with many selections to choose from. First, guests can choose from a selection of top-quality meats, including ground beef, grilled chicken breast, ground turkey, or black bean.

All of the options make it easy to get creative or keep it simple for those who love a classic burger. The choice is yours, so you won’t be disappointed

Pair your Delicious Deli Burger with your Beverage of Choice

Nothing pairs better with a burger than beer. Choose from a selection of domestic or specialty beers or, for something non-alcoholic, enjoy a refreshing lemonade, iced tea, or a Dr. Brown’s soda.

Our Chefs have been creating delicious deli-style hamburgers across the state of Florida since 1981, and TooJay’s hand-crafted burgers will leave you only wanting more!

TooJay’s Tips for Making the Best Sandwich

Sandwich History

All hail the Earl of Sandwich, the first person known to appreciate the endless potential of a meal presented between two pieces of bread! Thanks to this avid gambler’s request back in 1762 for a handy meal that he could eat without leaving the card table, today, more than 300 million sandwiches are consumed daily in the U.S., which is almost one sandwich per person each day, nationwide. From the simplest PBJs to creative combinations that take time to craft, placing food between two slices of bread has evolved into one of the world’s most popular and convenient ways to combine an infinite number of ingredients to make the best sandwich.

Although historians are not clear on when the sandwich arrived in America, it officially appeared in an American cookbook around 1815. Since then, every culture in the U.S. melting pot has created its own variations, from the New Orleans Po’ Boy to the Philly Cheesesteak, the New York Club, Los Angeles French Dip, and countless more. Whatever your ethnic culinary preference may be, you likely can find its version of sandwiches ranging from simple to exotic.

The Evolution of the Sandwich

Pastrami Sandwich is the best1 — Pastrami Sandwich

Sandwiches have come a long way since the cook served John Montagu, the 4^th Earl of Sandwich, a piece of salted meat between two pieces of bread. Even the Earl himself was captivated by the creation. He proceeded to draw inspiration from his travels to the Mediterranean, where meats, cheeses, and dips on mezze platters, appetizers similar to tapas, were sometimes layered between slices of bread. In the three centuries since, sandwiches continued to evolve in countless directions and, regardless of their simplicity, have become a culinary art form.

The Deli Tradition

Among all the types of sandwiches, the deli variety holds a special place in the hearts of most sandwich lovers. Delicatessen, derived from the German words for delicious and eat, originated in Germany around the same time the sandwich was popularized by John Montagu in England. The culinary concept was brought to the U.S. by Eastern European Jewish immigrants in the mid-19^th century. Originally a retail establishment that sold fine and foreign prepared food, the deli concept evolved into the restaurants we know them as today.

TooJay’s Deli is proud to satisfy the cravings of deli lovers throughout Florida. Whether you need a break after shopping at Palm Beach Outlets, are stopping for lunch at The Fountains in Plantation or meeting friends after golf or tennis at The Villages near Orlando, TooJay’s has the wide selection of freshly sliced, piled high sandwiches that keeps deli lovers coming back for more.

Tips to Make your Own Materpiece

Best Turkey Cran Griller — TooJay’s Seasonal Turkey Cranberry Griller

While we love to serve our guests in our restaurants every day and be their favorite choice for takeout, curbside, and catering, it’s our pleasure to share some tips for when they’re making a sandwich at home:

Gathering the pieces: First, compile the essential four elements – bread (we recommend fresh-baked Artisan rye, wheat or Challah bread, available for purchase at TooJay’s bakery); spreads (mayonnaise, mustard, or home-style Russian dressing); a generous serving of deli meat from TooJay’s deli counter (corned beef, roast beef, sliced turkey breast, pastrami or a combination of any of these), and secondary ingredients (Swiss or provolone cheese, coleslaw, sauerkraut, lettuce).

Building the Sandwich: The secret to making a great-tasting sandwich is finding a delicious balance of flavors. The combinations are countless and ultimately depend on personal taste preferences. Generously stuffed or lean? Spicy or mild? Hot or cold? It’s up to you!

1. Grab a slice of bread and add a generous spread of mayo and mustard, or opt instead for no spreads at all.
2. We have two favorite options for arranging the meat on the sandwich: layered, with one flat or folded slice on top of the other to match the size of the bread; and 2) rolled, with long layers of meat piled up with spread in between and then rolled into TooJay’s famous signature wrap to create a tempting swirl and ensure all ingredients are in every bite. Feel free to experiment with combinations such as corned beef and pastrami (like the TooJay’s Classic), turkey, roast beef, or a slice of cheese. Add the top slice of bread (toasting is always an option), and there you have it!
3. Take a bite and enjoy your sandwich!
