It's a Monday. So we are focusing on one of Long Island's many great main streets news. Twelve's Jens Lake is in Bellmore for us this afternoon. If you're looking for a bite to eat for brunch, look no further than the twisted fork in. Be more. This is one of the newer businesses on the block on Bedford Avenue. And with me, I have the co owners I run and I have the manager Megan and look at all of this delicious food. We have everything from sweet to Avery. Can you kind of run down Megan? What we got here? Yes. So we have the avocado toast. This is the Godfather with Prosciutto Baratta, roasted tomatoes and uh smashed avocado. We have some sweet chocolate Decadence pancake. It's stuffed with brownies, topped with a chocolate drizzle. Um On the in the middle there, we have the creme brulee French toast and on the end, something else savory is our chicken and waffle sliders and this is a place that gets packed out, especially on the weekend. Very busy on Saturdays and Sundays. Usually a wait. Um It's been going really great since we opened six months ago. Um and we're very happy to be here. You guys are on the map. You were telling me that people from all over the island come here for brunch. We are getting a lot of people throughout the island, I guess because of our social media presence has helped us a lot. So that, that's been wonderful. The customers have been great and the response has been amazing. And what's the best part about having the business right here in Belmore? Belmore is a great community. Um Always have a lot of support from the local people. They love their local businesses and always support. I love it. So let's take a bite to eat. Maybe do this off camera because I know this may get a little messy and send things back to you guys in the studio.
