 I’m sure you are aware of food trucks. You might even be lucky enough to work by a few that offer delicious daily specials only a few steps away. But if you are like the majority of New Jerseyians, food trucks aren’t on your daily path or even near your daily path for that matter. Your familiarity ends with the notion that they are featured on food shows and can be found in large cities and college campuses. Well, this just might be your lucky day! That is, of course, if you live in or around Middlesex County. Here, in Edison to be precise, you will find Lombardi Pizza Co Pizza Truck. And if you can put this place along your daily commute, you should ASAP because it is an experience you will be thankful for.

 The little town of Metuchen is only four square miles, but Main Street is home to a number of excellent restaurants. This summer, it seemed like overnight that the well-respected Indian restaurant Spice Melange was replaced with another Asian bistro, Red Monk. Now in its fourth month, Red Monk is still perennially packed on both weekends and weeknights, and it’s easy to see why.

 Since joining The Shannon Rose Irish Pub in January of 2011, Head Chef John Adamson has begun to make his mark on this well-known and lively eatery. Having experience running 3 other Irish restaurants throughout Monmouth County, he brought with him a passion for fresh ingredients, innovative dishes, and a “laid back and relaxed” style of cooking. He impressively studied and graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY after realizing that cooking was the career for him and being in the kitchen is where he was meant to be.

 The Jersey Bites team was invited to the grand opening preview of the first New Jersey location of this well-known Florida pizza chain. Now if it’s one thing we’ve got a ample supply of in New Jersey, it’s pizza restaurants. And, of course, everybody has his or her favorites. Whether it’s Kinchley’s in Bergen County, or Pete & Elda’s at the shore, and a hundred others in between, people here know their pizza! We kind of consider it our birthright to have access to not just good pizza, but great pizza. So needless to say, there is a fair amount of pressure on Anthony Bruno (founder) and his partners to live up to our standards.

HNS Discovered In Local Dig
 When my family and I shared a special moment at this neighborhood favorite, with some European friends, we were in for a pleasant surprise. Somewhere between the copious appetizers and the creamy desserts, the menu boasted of traditional Tuscan and Roman entrees which pleased all twelve of my guests. But for me, well…I kind of go for the hot stuff, and that isn’t as ‘typical’ in Italian cuisine as one might think. HNS (hot ‘n spicy) was suspect when my eye dropped down to the center of the menu and fell upon the word Arrabbiata, or in English: Angry. Hmmm, usually being angry conjures up heated discussions, so I figured it must be a Hot dish, no? Maybe I was about to get lucky.
