RESTAURANT REVIEW
Having never met a fatty food he didn't like, Brendan Sodikoff is a firm believer in the Martin Picard school of cuisine. But given his Jewish background, Sodikoff decided to combine his grandmother's style of cooking with a Picard-like obsession with foie gras and bacon. That means a menu on which chopped chicken liver and a fried bologna sandwich live side by side with scrambled eggs with foie gras, and fried chicken with a crispy potato hash doused with duck heart gravy. Numerous reviewers claimed that Sodikoff's double cheeseburger is "the best burger in the country."
