Mary, why ya buggin? With this post, we finally make good on the first element of our nj promise – rockin’. Unfortunately, a wardrobe malfunction means there are no audio recordings of the event, but there are certainly pictures aplenty…you’ll have to be in the Inner Circle to see those, unfortunately. As you can probably […]

La China Poblano, Glassboro
Surprisingly, mes amis, there’s a real dearth of Mexican opportunities around Pitman (and it’s not just because of the racial bias, because the surrounding towns are weak also). Last week EOIPwJ visited a chain establishment called Moe’s that was so dull we couldn’t even get up the gumption to write about it (which you know […]
Pal Joey’s, Sewell
Most places claim to have some meibutsu, ne? And they’re usually pretty boring. How many times have you eaten famous local soba? Nihonshu? Akafuku? Need I continue? Philadelphia is a lucky, lucky city for the simple reason that it has too famous foods and both of them kick ass. While we have still not made […]
Passariello’s, Moorestown
Moorestown is a nice little place – probably sort of what Pitman aspires to be, but permanently advanced. Pitman doesn’t have the proximity to population and business centers that’s required to get people living there with enough money to live in these houses and shop in the stores (although I did once drive to Moorestown […]
Uncle Bill’s Pancake House, Cape May
Another Cape May institution – down at the south end of the strip, a big round dining room, lots of waitresses (no sailor suits like The Lobster House, but still good), and massive breakfasts. I’m told that in season it’s difficult-to-impossible to get a table here, but the week before Memorial Day, no probs. Uncle […]
The Lobster House, Cape May
Our statement of purpose here at EOIPwJ says ‘rockin, cheesesteak, big ol’ lobster’. After being in America for a few days, we had yet to make good on any of this holy trinity, until the expected bacchanalia at the Lobster House. This is a Cape May institution, but a little hard to find as it’s […]
Venice, Pitman
At various times in the past, EOIPwJ has covered places in distant lands that reminded us of the homeland. And the places that we were invariably reminded of were the red-sauce Italians, like Venice. Since time immemorial, four to six of these places have been slugging it out on the mean streets of Pitman (OK, […]
Onodera, Kagurazaka
Given that we’ve already posted a glowing review on Onodera from our first visit, we shan’t spend too much time rehashing. In fact, we feel a little bad violating our rule about not posting multiple times on one restaurant, but this place is so good we just gotta do it…looking back, I see that a […]

Menya Kissou, Kiba (麺や吉左右)
EOITwJ is picky about a few things (no, really?). One of them is waiting in lines to eat. We’ve reached a point where we just don’t mind calling ahead to make sure we can walk in and sit down. But today we waited 40 minutes. For ramen. Why was that? One, the weather was nice. […]
Sabou Oiwake, Tokyo (茶房追分,東京駅)
Fresh from overdosing on chicken, I realized that lunch with Volleyball had been scheduled in for some time. He had overdosed on pork last night, so we set out in a healthy frame of mind. Wandering past the south-of-Eitai-dori options under the tracks, I was struck by the fact that nothing looks good there. It […]
