A picnic at Sandy Hook on the rocks in a secluded spot. I have softened my stance on Wawa subs of late, and Hoagiefest has certainly helped.

Restaurant Review: Procopio’s (Denver, PA)
We started our Pennsylvania road trip through Adamstown, Kutztown, and Bethlehem with a stop for some antiquing in the “Antique Capital of the USA”. On the way there, we noticed a little Italian restaurant called Procopio’s on the side of the road. Justin and I were both hungry but just not digging diner food. It…

A picnic at Popamora Point in Highlands along the Henry Hudson Trail. Perfect spot, but not-so-perfect subs. Quick Chek has always been passable to me. People rave about Wawa subs, but they ain’t so great either.
Restaurant Review: Elsie’s Sub Shop (Red Bank, NJ)
They may have been in existence since 1959, but some things do indeed deserve to come to an end. Maybe we caught the famed Elsie’s Sandwich Shop on a bad day. Google reviews has them at a 4.8, while Facebook is 4.9. Both with a pretty large amount of ratings. But are these people stuck…
Takeout Joints Vol. 6: Bagels!
While I have devoted reviews to specific bagel places, I figured I could bang out three in one shot here. Like the other “Takeout Joints” volumes, the scores here are based a little bit differently. How could a bagel compare to, say, a fine dining experience? Well, it can’t (not even for a die-hard bagel…
Wall’s Legendary Circus Drive-In Demolished
The legendary drive-in restaurant in Wall, NJ known as The Circus stood for 64 years…and took only 20 minutes to be torn down this very day. The pictures and news are in. It was noted by even the New Jersey Historic Preservation Office, how sad such a moment this is. I do not have any…

What is this monstrosity, you may be wondering? Why, a Monte Cristo, of course! My friend and I had watched a food show glorifying the classic yet oft-forgotten sandwich, and there I was the next day, ordering one at the New Monmouth Diner. French toast topped with ham, turkey, and Swiss cheese. Don’t forget the…
Takeout Joints Vol. 5: Italian and Asian
The first installments of this column have been broken down separately into pizza/Italian and Chinese/Asian. Because I’ve slowed down a little bit on the takeout lately, I am going to combine the two for Volume 3. Below we have one of each, and my, how vastly different they were in quality!
Hunter’s Casual Crusades: Gianni’s Italian Specialty Foods (Atlantic Highlands, NJ)
Autumn air is whipping around the corner with the appalling promise of pumpkin spice everything riding shotgun. On this occasion, it is time to take a look in the rear view mirror at one last warm weather cherished choice: the sandwich and chips combo. While the submarine piled high with your desired deli meat and…

The time my mom surprised Will and I with a British afternoon tea. We were so enraptured with our experiences from A Taste of Britain and the Main Street Enchanted Tea Room that my mom decided to give it a shot. Needless to say, it was excellent. Those curried egg salad sandwiches on pumpernickel down…
Restaurant Review: Lenora’s Cafe (Keyport, NJ)
Lenora’s is basically a diner with a Mexican spin. I do not mean that in a derogatory way. It’s actually quite refreshing to be able to get chips and salsa instead of French Fries with a sandwich. I opened up the menu when I first sat down and was impressed. There were a lot of…

Nancy’s Village Cafe is a lovely spot for a sandwich and relaxing cup of coffee in Peddler’s Village in Lahaska, Pennsylvania. Do yourself a favor: ditch the tourist traps and try to find this somewhat hidden cafe. February 2017.
