In a matter of just a few days, Allentown will be home to a rather unusual new café. It's going to be unusual for two reasons... the operator is just coming from the show, 'Hell's Kitchen', and the style of food is going to be out of the norm (let's just say words like creative, healthy and fusion come to mind). First things first, it must have been a little tough watching Hell's Kitchen last week, as Buffalo's own Shayna Raichilson-Zadok was tossed by Gordon Ramsay. Chef Ramsay decided Shayna was just too "darn slow" to keep up in Hell's Kitchen.
Well, we in Buffalo are happy to have Shayna back home. She's working quick and steady as the Bohemian Hostess to open the Steel Crazy Café (mid-May). It will be "Bistro" style with, as Shayna says, "...a meld of fresh, and delicious comfort food with a juxtaposition of the hard surroundings of collectible steel-art displayed and for sale." Shayna is a wife as well as a mother of a ten month old. She is seriously, multi- talented with a musical theater background, a tremendous singing voice and a love of cooking. It sounds to me that the new Steel Crazy Café by the Bohemian Hostess will be a feast for all the senses. Open now for hot and cold beverages, plus free WiFi soon to be one of the next chill dining spots in Allentown..
