Fuel Your Body Cafe in Hicksville, reinvented

Baking and grilling — not frying — are the cooking methods used at the Fuel Your Body Cafe in Hicksville, which recently came under new ownership.

Co-owner Asaf German, a Hicksville attorney, used to eat at the place regularly. When he found it closed, with a “for sale” sign in the window, he and a partner decided to buy it.

In February, he said, they took over and promptly removed 108 items from the voluminous menu, which still features 202 choices.

The table service eatery serves three meals a day. At breakfast, you can get protein pancakes ($6.75) with fresh fruit as well as a ”spa” breakfast of egg whites with grilled vegetables ($5.25). Lunch and dinner options include a bison burger ($7.25), falafel and hummus over a green salad ($7) and half a rotisserie chicken with two small side dishes ($6.99).

German said the place delivers locally and also offers catering services.

Fuel Your Body Cafe is at 196 W. Old Country Rd., Hicksville, 516-933-3835.
