New Mexico transplants Jean and Mark Bernstein grew up near New York City where cheesecake, deli meats served on fresh rye and authentic ethnic cuisine are the norm. Their love of this “everyday” food—unpretentious, delicious and plentiful—inspired them to open the first Flying Star Café. Twenty-two years and nine locations later, the concept’s core menu remains the same: sandwiches, soups and salads, pastas, rice dishes and a variety of blue plates and regional specialties.
