Description

Unstinting applications of a good, snowy mayonnaise make this Danish hole-in-the-wall's old-fashioned chicken and potato salads among the very best in town. Other treats: corned beef and Swiss on rye with a pale, homemade liver pté; devastating Danish butter cookies by the sack. Ixnay on the cheesecake. Take out, unless you enjoy closetlike quarters.

Hot plate

By Alison Cook | Thu, April 28, 1994

Blond on Blond Nielsen's is the Marilyn Monroe of Houston delicatessens -- pale, creamy and voluptuous, talisman of a quaint era in which goddesses had meat on their bones and nobody discussed cholesterol. Remember when mayo wasn't a... More »

2002 | Best Deli
