Henrietta's Deli celebrating grand opening March 13
TRUSSVILLE, Ala. (Trussville Tribune) — Trussville's newest food destination Henrietta's Deli is set to celebrate its grand opening next Thursday, March 13, offering locals a place to enjoy tasty sandwiches and buy quality ingredients.
According to Chris Basinger with the Trussville Tribune, the restaurant has been operating on word of mouth for the last couple of months, but now they are ready to officially open for business.
The deli, located in the old Golden Rule Bar-B-Q on the edge of the Trussville Entertainment District, is owned by John Finney.
New collection of short stories, essays from Alabama icon Harper Lee to be released this fall
Finney started his culinary journey at Jefferson State, and was hired out of school by famed Birmingham chef Frank Stitt to work at Highlands Bar and Grill.
There, he worked his way up from making salads to becoming the restaurant's sous-chef, during which Highlands won the James Beard Award.
After four years, Finney moved over to Chez Fonfon where he served as the chef de cuisine for the last six years.
When the time came for him to open a restaurant of his own, he settled on opening a deli and decided it should be located in the town he calls home.
'I'm just excited to share my vision and my passion with Trussville,' Finney said. 'From talking to people…they're just excited to have something different but really, really good.'
The ribbon cutting ceremony will be held on March 13 at 4 p.m.

Lights, camera, conflict? Village of Liverpool Mayor wants American High out
LIVERPOOL, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — Since 2017, American High has brought a slice of Hollywood to Central New York, transforming a former middle school in the Village of Liverpool into a working film studio that has appeared on mega streaming platforms like Hulu and Netflix. However, the relationship between the studio and the village mayor is nearing a breaking point, as she's asking the production studio to leave. The spark started with her recent letter to in which Village Mayor Stacy Finney stated that the filming has become too disruptive, citing repeated road closures, traffic backups, noise complaints, and what she describes as a lack of cooperation from the studio over the years. Jeremy Garelick, CEO & Founder of American High, responded to the Village of Liverpool Mayor dispute, reminding Central New Yorkers that 'No one is working in our business, yet we're thriving here in Liverpool, how are we doing that?' The founder and CEO of American High admitted that the production company has had some stumbles, especially in the beginning. 'I've never bought a building that was a 100 years old to fix it up. I've never done it so we're making mistakes and along the way we've screwed up a couple of times,' Garelick said. But Mayor Finney wasn't satisfied with that explanation. In her public letter, she said American High has repeatedly disrupted village life, yet Garelick insisted the studio is trying to be a good neighbor to the CNY community, bringing the 'life' back to Liverpool by putting the local gem back on the map. 'We don't shoot on weekends, and we don't have the generator going on weekends,' he said. 'It was the weekend the Canadian wildfires were going off—so maybe that was what was causing her to hack up a lung.' American High says it's created hundreds of jobs in Central New York, brought in millions of dollars in production spending, and given young local talent a foot in the door of the entertainment industry. In response to the mayor's public letter, Garelick plans to run for Village Mayor and is hosting and inviting Mayor Finney to a 'Q-and-A' at the former middle school on Monday, June 16 at 6:00 p.m. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Wynn Debuts Sartiano's Steakhouse, a New York Social Hotspot for the Strip
Wynn Las Vegas is bringing a double dose of New York influence to the Strip this winter. The resort already announced an outpost of Zero Bond, the exclusive Manhattan members club known for its buzzy guest list and low-key power plays. Alongside it comes Sartiano's Italian Steakhouse, a refined spin on the classic steakhouse from Bond Hospitality and Scott Sartiano, with a kitchen helmed by three-time James Beard Award winner Alfred Portale. Together, Sartiano's and Zero Bond mark a high-profile pairing of hospitality heavyweights — and a notable expansion of NYC's social scene into Las Vegas. When it opens at the Wynn this winter, Sartiano's will infuse the Wynn with a dose of New York cool, one that will likely play nicely with Zero Bond — or at least with the customers that pay the four-digit annual dues to frequent it (Sartiano's will be open to the public). Chef Portale is widely considered one of New York's most influential chefs, credited with shaping the 'big food' movement and mentoring a generation of culinary stars during his decades at Gotham Bar and Grill. At Sartiano's in New York — located inside the Mercer Hotel in SoHo — the vibe is sceney, with a menu that balances luxury and modern flash. Dishes include $48 caviar cannoli with crisp pastry shells filled with whipped mascarpone, rolled in black fish roe and chives. In Las Vegas, Portale will serve as culinary director, with day-to-day operations led by Las Vegas native Michael Rubinstein, whose résumé includes stints at Momofuku and Vetri Cucina. The Las Vegas menu will carry over highlights from the New York original while introducing new dishes exclusive to the Strip. Among the standouts are baked clams with pancetta and smoked bacon, lasagna with wild mushrooms and black truffle, and large servings of paccheri pasta with herbed ricotta and 'Sunday sauce.' A selection of prime bistecca cuts features prized American and Japanese wagyu, including a 40-ounce Double R Ranch dry-aged bistecca alla Fiorentina, carved tableside and served with Brunello beef jus and salsa verde. And yes, Portale is importing those caviar cannoli from New York. The restaurant's design will lean mid-century modern, with bold, geometric patterns meant to echo Las Vegas style from the 1950s, according to the Wynn. Expect an arched ceiling and a distinctive terrazzo floor. It will be tucked into an alcove overlooking the Wynn Golf Club, with a bar, lounge, outdoor dining, and a private dining room, and will sit adjacent to Zero Bond. New York's Zero Bond draws a high-profile crowd, including Taylor Swift, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kim Kardashian, and — notably — Mayor Eric Adams. The club has recently made headlines over a rumored potential acquisition by billionaire Tilman Fertitta, a Trump ally and U.S. ambassador to Italy, who has recently vowed to divest from his empire of over 600 restaurants. Fertitta also owns the Golden Nugget and is the largest individual shareholder of Wynn Resorts. Meanwhile, Sartiano's in New York is known both as a hotspot for Italian steakhouse fare and an influencer magnet. In Las Vegas, it's poised to become a destination where seeing and being seen go hand in hand — or at least for indulging in some serious gawking at the parade of who's who moving between the restaurant and the club next door.
