    Somebody needs Google maps. Bakeway is actually a few store fronts over. So by the time employees bring your food from down the block its cold and taste old. Should be interesting when old man winter dumps snow or rain on the food or the employees have to do some cross country sking to get the food in front of you. The dept of health should really look into this..

    Tom, thanks for writing in. The idea of a “commissary kitchen” where food is prepared in one spot, and then transported to another point of sale, is actually used all over this city–often times over greater distances than this.

    As long as the transportation methods are safe and in compliance with the DOH regulations for this type of food service, there is actually nothing wrong with the transport of food. It is certainly the Strand’s responsibility, though, to ensure it can be served at proper temperature in the restaurant, and I’m assuming that after being only open for one week, they have many kinks to work out.

    It’s always a little tricky to judge a restaurant’s performance in the first week, especially with bigger operations like this one. Let’s hope they get it figured out asap, and let’s give them the benefit of doubt that they will get there.
