Last month, our executive editor Deborah Smith passed along an invitation to an intimate press dinner at the Liberty House in Jersey City that I jumped at the chance to cover. You may remember my post last year about their Mac ‘n’ Cheese Meltdown (which they may be bringing back, fingers crossed!), and ever since then, the restaurant has been on my radar for unique American comfort food cuisine with one of the most spectacular atmospheres on the Hudson.

Several years ago we were introduced to the tradition of cigar rolling in Cuba, through Broadway’s production of Anna in the Tropics, a play by Nilo Cruz. Since then, even though we are not smokers, we have been curious about the attraction of Cuba, Cigars and Cognac, and their relationship to one another.

Purple was the color of the day on March 13th at “Cupcakes with Buddy”, a charity event where cake-designer Buddy Valastro of Carlo’s Bake Shop, (a.k.a. “The Cake Boss”) teamed up with The Anita Kaufmann Foundation (AKF) to support epilepsy awareness and upcoming “Purple Day” on March 26th (more to come on that).

In the midst of the holidays, between the baking, shopping, wrapping and even more baking, I took a break to head across Hudson County to check out the grand opening of a new Cuban restaurant. Son Cubano, in West New York, invited Jersey Bites along as they opened their doors for the first time on December 15 for an elaborate grand opening celebration.

Biting into a new food for the first time is always an emotional experience for me: a mix of taste sensations, environmental cues, and emotional, gut reaction to the food– which explains why my first bite of the Taco Truck’s Carnitas Michoacan sandwich sent my taste buds reeling, my eyes widening, and my heart sinking. In the deep flavor of braised pork, the late kick of smokey chipotle heat, and the light, sweet flavors of onions, avocado, and jalepeno, I knew that I would now have to eat this sandwich on (at least) a weekly basis. With a sadness for the future of my wallet, I knew a food craving–no, addiction–was born.

One of my favorite parts about living in North Jersey are summer holiday weekends. As crazy as it sounds, I prefer to spend my time enjoying the temporary solitude of the area instead of heading to the Shore with the masses. It’s especially nice when you can enjoy a nice dinner outside without having to make a reservation days (or weeks) in advance.
