"A suburban time capsule of a diner founded in 1978, What’s Cooking had a distinct Ashkenazi Jewish deli bent, sating patrons of all backgrounds with homey hits like kreplach, massive matzo balls in soup, and corned beef sandwiches alongside breakfast standards. It closed in 2012." - Naomi Waxman, Ashok Selvam
