AlwaysInformed: Schnipper’s Attempts the L.E.O.
Arthur Bovino — April 15, 2010
A L.E.O. Sandwich on a Toasted Everything Bagel from H&H at Schnipper’s Quality Kitchen.
Schnipper’s Quality Kitchen, the corner joint in The New York Times Building that serves a Green Chile Cheeseburger, recently announced breakfast service. Among the typical morning fare on the new menu (Mon-Friday, 7:00am-10:30pm) is an unexpected addition. A New York classic that doesn’t get the same attention as pizza or bagels: The L.E.O.
For the uninitiated, L.E.O. stands for lox, eggs, and onions. As previously noted, when it comes to the L.E.O., chances of surpassing the rendition at Barney Greengrass, are slim. Even better is the N.E.O. with Nova, since lox brings too much salt to the equation.

Sure, it was close between the top two but for the most part, outside these top three contenders, everything else was for the birds.
Noodles and dill, carrots and celery—we decided not to consider these varying soup ingredients as determining factors. This is about matzoh balls. After all, competing philosophies on how best to construct them are distracting enough (seltzer or water? oil or schmaltz? how long should the eggs be beaten? seasoned inside or out? boiled in salt water or chicken broth?). For Top 5 purposes, we judged based on three criteria: texture, flavor and appearance.
