Road trip, boys, road trip. Here we are out on the highway, in the rain, peering around Big Gay Ed’s Big Gay Head as he drives too close to other cars for comfort. This picture doesn’t show the worst of it. Sheesh. Slow down, dude. Why were we out there? Well, I think ‘CF Martin’ […]

El Marichi Loco, Hammonton
Good Mexican is pretty much a requirement for any trip to America as far as I’m concerned. One time I went to Napa Valley for a business trip, an offsite. I got to the resort about 5 hours before I needed to attend the first event and, reasoning that good Mexican is available anywhere in […]

Attilio’s Pizza, Blackwood
There are people who will tell you the best pizza in New Jersey lurks within these unimposing confines. I had lunch with one of them a couple weeks ago, and I went for pizza today with two more of them. I can certainly recommend it; this is the pizza I grew up on (in part […]
