New Orleans cuisine has always been rooted in sustainability, making the most out of what’s available, and a deep respect for the ingredients. We do our best to bring that ethos to the menu at Strange Delight. That’s why we’re partnering with Mill for Make Food Not Waste Restaurant Week, joining restaurants across New York who are making a commitment to cook with zero waste.

Chefs Ham and Nathalie created our take on leeks vinaigrette, a zero-waste dish exclusively running for this week, to show how every part of an ingredient has potential. It features leftover leeks that are poached in olive oil and a stock made from extra fish bones and aromatics, dressed with that same cooking liquid and topped with littleneck clam conserva. We’re loving it and we hope you do too.

A Po’Boy with a purpose 🧡 This Hunger Action Month, STRANGE DELIGHT is putting action on the menu. All September long, $5 from every Fried Green Tomato Po’Boy will be donated to Food Bank For NYC.

Because too many New Yorkers are still going without, and we need our whole city to show up. ➡️ So come hungry, bring a friend, and help make a difference one Po’Boy at a time.

Some sad news: after tomorrow, we’re pausing cafe service for the foreseeable future as we gear up for some new things (wink, wink .nyc nudge nudge).

Tomorrow will be the last day of 8 am service and the last day to get a morning bun (for now). Starting next weekend, we’ll open for brunch/lunch starting at 10:30 am Sat and Sun, and we’ll continue to be open for dinner 7 nights a week.

Come by for one last good mornin’ bun tomorrow, and thanks to everyone who supported our lil cafe run. We had a blast.
