The blast of the Ram’s horn at 11 am Sunday, October 31, 2010 will again mark the start of The “Shalom Y’all Jewish Food Festival” in picturesque Forsyth Park.
This ethnic much anticipated sampling of delectable treats is the largest food festival of its kind. Festival delights include corned beef and pastrami, New York Egg Creams, family favorites like foot long hot dogs with sour pickles, traditional fare like mouth-watering brisket, savory chopped liver, stuffed cabbage and Jewish staples like blintzes (cheese filled crepes), kugel (noodle pudding) and of course potato latkes (pancakes). Less traditionally, is Rabbi Belzer’s Ah-Mein Lo-Mein, which has always been a crowd favorite.

Recently I blogged about the locals’ favorites on Tybee. Re-reading my blog, I was horrified to know that I left out The Breakfast Club. Daggars! The Horror of it! How could I forget this wonderful icon?
The Breakfast Club is THE place to go for breakfast. Their menu is so great, it’s tough to choose. They have just about any kind of omelet you’d ever want; they specialize in waffles and pancakes; eggs and any combination thereof. They have great dishes with great names. There’s the Grill Cleaner’s Special, a healthy portion of diced potatoes, Polish sausage, green peppers and onions, scrambled with 2 eggs, topped with melted Monterey Jack and American Cheese; grits and toast, too. What a meal–what a name! It’s one of their best sellers.
Love steak? They have a couple of meals with those including one called the South Sider Steak Sandwich – a seven oz. hand-cut steak, served open-faced on an English muffin, topped with grilled onions and mushrooms with your choise of potato. YES!
Locals swear the burgers here are THE best on the Island. I’ve never had ‘em, just can’t miss their breakfasts, but they must be great. Over a half-pound of lean ground beef served on a fresh baked bun with lettuce, tomato and pickle with your choice of potato.
The point is that you can’t go wrong at the Breakfast Club. They’ll be a line, so be ready. Hours are 7:00 am to 1:00 pm.
