BY SUSAN E. CAMPBELL<\/p>\n

A long-time delicatessen worker, Nancy
\nTimlick, and her fiance, career chef Tom
\nNielson, have entered a business partnership
\nalong with Timlick’s two daughters,
\nCathleen and Maria, and opened Poppy
\nTom’s Deli & More at 148 Bay St. in Glens
\nFalls.<\/p>\n

“I worked in delis for 30 years and
\nthought it’s about time we started one of
\nour own,” said Timlick.<\/p>\n

Chef Tom, or “Poppy Tom” to Timlick’s
\ngrandchildren, has been a chef locally for
\nSandy’s Smokehouse, Bavarian Chalet, and
\na number of Florida eateries. According to
\nTimlick, Nielson has much experience preparing
\neverything on Poppy Tom’s inventive
\nmenu, except pizza.
\n“He’s working on throwing pizza dough,
\nbut he’s getting the hang of it,” she said.
\nAnd he’s offering some creative toppings
\nthat are getting kudos from customers, like
\ntaco pizza and chili French-fried cheese
\npizza.<\/p>\n

The deli also offers fresh pastries and
\ndesserts. Chef Tom fills the turnovers daily
\non site.<\/p>\n

None of the family is native to Glens
\nFalls, but Timlick is enjoying being in the
\nheart of the city.
\nWhen the space at Bay Street opened up
\nfor lease, she said everything came together
\nvery well. It already had a kitchen and most
\nof the equipment that a restaurant would
\nrequire.<\/p>\n

“We have an outstanding rapport with the owners,” said Timlick. “All the equipment
\nwas pressure washed for us, and we only
\nneeded to do a facelift with brightly colored
\npaints and some minor updating, such as
\nthe seals around the equipment.”<\/p>\n

For those whose taste buds find chocolate-
\ncovered bacon appealing, it’s on the
\nmenu at Poppy Tom’s. Timlick said there
\nis no place in the immediate area that she
\nknows of selling it.<\/p>\n

The challenges of starting a new restaurant
\nhave been few, excepting financing.
\nTimlick said she was turned down again
\nand again for a loan by conventional institutions.
\nBut she located investment and
\nin so doing elevated her “trust and belief
\nin people.”<\/p>\n

As soon as she is able, Timlick wants to
\naccept SNAP cards at Poppy Tom’s to enable
\nthe community to get some food staples there,
\nsuch as milk, fruit, cheese, bread, chips and
\nmore.
\n“There are many elderly and disabled
\npeople in the area that we want to serve,”
\nsaid Timlick. “When we are able, we will buy
\nanother cooler to expand our stock of those
\nitems.”<\/p>\n

Timlick said she and her partners understand
\nthey won’t be able to pay themselves for
\na while. But they have a mission and a dream
\nto fulfill, she said.<\/p>\n

Poppy Tom’s Deli and More is open daily except
\nTuesdays from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Fridays
\nand Saturdays until 10 p.m. There is a small
\neat-in area–two tables and six chairs–and
\ntake-out or delivery. Call 832-4411.<\/p>\n
