I miss the hot sauce omelette at TipTop Diner on Ridge Rd near Clinton. Used to have that after hours and sometimes as lunch on the graveyard shift.
Any self-respecting cook from western NY should be able to whip up a ”hot sauce” a-la Don & Bobs, Vic & Irv’s, the Char Broil, Schaller’s.
I miss Campy’s and their Bombers. I won’t mention Smitty’s and his great NC mustard hot sauce. Best chicken ever. He had a lot of wannabe followers who ripped him off. Had to be there in the 60s when he moved from storefront to storefront to keep ahead of the landlords. Good times.
