Between you and me: Executive Chef Aram Mardigian takes no shortcuts. Why? Because he loves to cook and to do things right. And that even means making his own sausages, which very few restaurants do in South Jersey. Check out his homemade sausages ($16) served with pretzel and mustard on the appetizer menu. The type of sausages change frequently, but make sure you pay attention to Mardigian during Oktoberfest, when he really lets his passion for making homemade sausages really shine with some amazing creations.
