CELEB-ISH SIGHTING: Stand-up comedian Eddie Sarfaty enjoyed dinner at Besito in Huntington on a recent Friday night following his appearance at Book Revue. Sarfaty was in town plugging his new book “Mental: Funny in the Head.” Dining with his mother and a friend, he enjoyed Besito’s famed tableside guacamole along other Mexican specialties.

PIE TIME: The aroma of baking peach pies wafting from inside A Rise Above Bake Shop (333 Main St., Huntington 631-351-9811) was enough to get the Foodies in the door. Sure enough, the girls in the kitchen were pulling a batch of fresh-baked peach pies out of the oven and strewing streusel – that brown sugary, crumbly stuff – across the tops of another batch. They’re $12.95 for an eight-inch pie. Also on deck was a batch of the bakery’s Key Lime Cheesecake, a cooling dessert perfect for these hot summer days.

GOOD GRIEF, THAT’S AFFORDABLE: Back by popular demand, Charlie Brown’s Steakhouse (88 Veterans Memorial Hwy, Commack 631-462-4206) celebrates summer with a Shrimpfest promotion running through Aug. 9. Choose Mediterranean Grilled Shrimp, Coconut Fried Shrimp or Nantucket Fried Shrimp, paired with unlimited salad bar plus one side for $15.99.

WHERE’S THE ROOF? Forget “Where’s the Beef?” Customers of the Burger King in Huntington village (241 New York Ave, Huntington 631-549-5909) may find themselves asking “Where’s the Roof?” In fact, a big tarp is protecting what little of the building is still standing as the building undergoes an extensive renovation.
