TEANECK, N.J. — Cosmos Sklifas won't tell you how he makes his bagels. All that his customers at Teaneck's Three Star Bagels need to know is that the bagels are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. "I love to come here," said customer Ron Patel, who for seven years has started his days with coffee and a bagel from Three Star. "The stuff here is much better than anyone else's." Sklifas, a Greek immigrant from Closter, hasn't changed anything at the Cedar Lane shop — which opened in 1993 — since taking over in 2005. "If it's not broken, don't fix it,"…

Bergen County Chef's Career Heats Up With 'Black Rebel Burger' Expansion
HACKENASCK, N.J. — Bad milk and stale Chinese food were usually all Jessica Vogel of Westwood found in her father’s refrigerator. He’d have the ingredients for jumbalaya every now and then, though. And that often made Vogel smile because in the midst of her parents’ divorce, food preparation brought her family together. Now, Vogel will be the one calling the shots. The affable, 32-year-old Spring Lake native — who earned her reputation as a fan-favorite on Season 12 of Gordon Ramsay’s “Hell's Kitchen” — will be the executive chef of Jeremy Oduor’s Black Rebel Burger in Hackensack.

Tenafly Seniors Sew Puppets, See Smiles
TENAFLY, N.J. — As soon as nurse Patty August’s latex gloves come off, puppets go on. And as soon as the smiling puppets go on, the cries that echo through the Bergenfield public nurse's office fade to laughter. For that, August thanks a group of senior women who meet at the Tenafly Senior Center twice a month and sew puppets with one goal in mind: to make children smile. “They’re the cutest little ladies and all they ask in return is a thank you note,” August said of the group of 90-year-old women who together are "From Heart to Hands."
