Bone broth is the specialty of the house at the Dix Avenue Diner in Queensbury.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The diner, at 487 Dix Ave., shares space with the New Beginnings Community Church. The church\u2019s pastor, Randy Gross, also operates the diner and brews the bone broth.<\/p>\n

Gross boils meat bones\u2014chicken, turkey, beef, or pork\u2014with a mixture of spices until it reaches a jelly-like consistency. The result, he said, is a product low in calories, high in protein, and packed with vitamins and minerals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He described the spices as anti-inflammatory and said that they gain added potency from cooking in the hot fat. They include turmeric, cardamon, ginger, garlic and cumin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Indian influence is not coincidental. Gross said part of his inspiration came from the experience of a doctor whose digestive tract changed when he lived in India for a time and the changes resulted in improved health.<\/p>\n

Customers can eat the hot broth in the diner or take it home by the bottle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span>The diner opened in April 2019 never closed. During the lockdown, food and broth were sold to-go.<\/p>\n

The pastor said he was motivated by the number of his congregants dying of chronic diseases. Some of them were \u201clike family to me,\u201d he said. He undertook 10 years of research, he recalled, and came up with bone broth.<\/p>\n

The Dix Avenue Diner also offers a standard diner menu. Breakfast is a big thing, Gross said, featuring farm-fresh eggs from backyard flocks. A small staff does the cooking and serving. Gross sometimes does some cooking on the line but his main contribution is preparing\u00a0 <\/span>the bone broth and counseling on how to use it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The church congregation its small; 35 to 40 on an average Sunday.<\/p>\n

The diner is open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. The telephone number is 518-792-4462.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
