LEO/LHB: Joe Davola's

This Joe Davola won’t kibosh you

Fans of “Seinfeld” will remember “Crazy” Joe Davola as an ominous character, a violent psychotic who threatened to “put the kibosh” on people he didn’t like, which meant pretty much everyone.

So who’d name a restaurant after that scary guy? The odd shtick works for partners James Tyler and Christopher Stockton, who push the Crazy Joe concept to the ragged edge with menu names like “Belligerent BLPT,” “Psychotic Savory Roast Beef” and “Violent Veggie Meat Loaf.”

But there’s nothing belligerent about Tyler or Stockton, who welcome visitors with smiles and even a hug for friends. They are drawing crowds thanks to a battery of oversize salads, savory soups and sandwiches made from quality ingredients. You’ll find no mere deli beef here, but meats roasted daily by the chefs. The bread? A thick-sliced loaf of wheatberry grain from Nebraska. The tuna? Albacore. And so it goes. This Joe Davola’s won’t put the kibosh on you.

James and Christopher were so nice when we went in Sunday, I baked them a couple of cakes to sell in the rush that's sure to come after this review. So, if you've been missing my Lemon Sunshine or Splendiferous Coconut cakes, go have a sandwich and get a slice! :)
