Honey Roasted Breasts and Berries

Re-juice-a-nation in Hoboken (and Manasquan) is a smoothie shop with really good home made soups and sandwiches. Rejuiceanation is all about healthy, whole foods.

They always have a chill vibe rendering through surf & snowboard movies with distinctive soundtracks. It is like taking a 5 or 10 minute vacation when I visit. Tonight I had a "Soy-Me Gusta, blueberry, hold the honey, Honey." My colon is fresh as a daisy.

Take a look at a snippet from a conversation with Steve Barardo (owner/proprietor/entrepreneur/surfer/cameraman/snowboarder/sandwich-guy).

Eddie checked out the roasted turkey with brie, cranberries, mesclun greens, herbed mayo, on a whole grain bread from Balthazar Bakery.

What is scrapple?

The answer is:
Scrapple is a fantastic savory mush of pork scraps and trimmings mixed with cornmeal and flour. The flour most often used is buckwheat flour. The mush is formed into a loaf, and slices of the scrapple are fried before serving to happy #1 style American consumers.

Scrapple is best known as a regional American food of Delaware, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland.

That may be the "correct" answer, but anyone who has tried scrapple will tell you that it is far too clinical a representation of the goodness that is scrapple.

You would not describe masturbation in such a boring way. Why should scrapple not get the same respect.

No, you'd say "Masturbation is like lifes special roller coaster that lets you take your own body for an exciting ride every now and then."

Or you'd say "Masturbation is a solid pre-date exercise to make sure you have plenty of stamina and you dont embarrass yourself if all goes well and you end up doing the hippity-dippity later in the evening."

To describe scrapple as "scraps" simply lacks the appropriate poetry.

Hit the Gatehouse Diner in Prospect Park, PA for some very late Sunday brunch and scrapple. This place has a wonderful 2 egg, scrapple, and homefries platter that will make you believe in god.

HobokenSandwich ordered with a side of whole grain wheat toast to make sure all 3 food groups were represented.

Finally, we took the eggs/scrapple/home fries and put the whole shootin match on the whole grain toast. Wolfed it down, slammed my OJ, kissed my waitress and went home to masturbate.

Pancakes and Bacon - Riverview Diner, North Bergen

Tuesday 7am

I ordered pancakes in a move to switch things up from the weekly bacon, egg, cheese on a bagel. I kept the bacon. Just added it to the sweet buttery pancakes and it was all good.

Put it in Your Mouth and Swallow - It'll Feel Good

Most people have their own version of the "pick-me-up". Cocaine, chocolate, American Idol, auto erotic asphyxiation, and Nilla Wafers, just to name a few. The idea that you can affect your body chemistry and therefore your feelings is not a new one. So where is the story, right?

Did you know that putting banana in your mouth and swallowing will actually make you a happier woman/person?

Now, I am sure nearly every woman has heard some version of a similar pitch before, so I'll get right to the science.Bananas are rich in serotonin. This chemical is a mono amine neurotransmitter synthesized by neurons in the central nervous system. Serotonin affects important quality of life metrics like mood and sleep.

Cuban Latte for Dollar Hot Dogs

Every Wednesday night the Shannon Bar in Hoboken presents Open Mic Night night hosted by Dollar Hot Dogs. These irreverent rockers grab coffee from La Isla pre show because it's as good as cocaine without all the fuss of arrest and having to get oral from model/actresses in the bathroom at parties.HobokenSandwich is not immune to the charm of Cuban Lattes

The Coffee Shop - Union Square - Classy Service and Nice People

Wandering around after an early meeting with a bit of time to kill and I turned the corner to find a relatively familiar Union Square landmark. The Coffee Shop.The coffee was ok. The service from the guy behind the bar was shit. Absolute shit. But, he will be an actor in a really cool production off Broadway someday, so I guess it's cool. Really super cool!

On the plus side:

Hostess: Smoking hot - exotic dark skin curly hair (Trinidadian?)
Hostess2: Smoking hot - bookish/cardigan
Bar Gal: Smoking hot - tiny little asian girl
(my EGG ROLL would look huge in her hands)
Waitress: Smoking hot - classic brunette pissed off looking hottie

So I killed about 20 mins on my coffee, iPhone, & ogling.

Then I went to "Chat & Chew" on 16th near 5th on the south side of the street. A few steps down into the place where I discover my work lunch date has yet to arrive. Perfect, I can do some more emails before I have to start talking to someone about Google.

No sooner had the hostess seated me, and the waitress visited me then I realized every woman serving me in this place was also hot.

Why must this happen? And the short skirts in the middle of winter?! Really, those leggings do not give you ladies license to shorten hems by 6 inches. Do you honestly think your thighs are any less succulent simply because you're kicking some opaque tights? Me thinks not.

I just wanted a cup of coffee. I just wanted to have a good lunch meeting. I did not ask for a side of erection at any point in the day. And yet here I am. Thanks for nothing.

HobokenSandwich just wanted some coffee, not an erection

Delicious Stacks of Cuban Style Flapjacks

By Padraic Gallagher

La Isla blueberry banana pancakes are quite possibly the best in Hoboken. Fresh berries, bananas and yes cake from the pan are delivered piping hot to your table or counter spot. The delectable golden treats are stacked high in the shape of a breakfast entree and finished off with powdery sugar and a fanned fresh strawberry.

Enjoy with 1 large cafe con leche.

Banana Cheerios - Heart Healthy and Sensual

Healthy for my heart. That is what I am in need of. With all the saturated fat and cannabis tar I consume it might be time for a cleansing. I usually go for the giant ass box of plain Cheerios. No fancy sugary nut/honey nonsense here, thank you very much.

This week I discovered a new animal on the shelf of my corner store: Banana Cheerios

That was Monday. I have since consumed 3 boxes of Banana Cheerios. Three fucking boxes of Banana Cheerios in 72 hours!
I have never actually been addicted to heroin, or nicotine, or any non salted-meat. But these Banana Cheerios are the best thing that ever happened to me. I have yet to get home from the store without having eaten 1/3 of the box.

My relationship with Banana Cheerios is a lot like a dirty sexcapade. Lots of rushing around, giving in to base desires, tearing away the packaging and devouring every morsel of nann'er sweetened goodness with abandon.

HobokenSandwich is SUPER "regular" lately

Shannon Bar in Hoboken - Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire!

There is no greater promise made in a down economy than that of cheap eats. This is why HobokenSandwich is positively ashamed of the Shannon Bar at 106 First Street, Hoboken.

Some friends and I recently passed by the Shannon and saw this advertisement for Dollar Hot Dogs at 8pm Wednesday night.

Very cool, indeed!
We figured we'd do a late dinner and just go crazy eating $1 hot dogs, like the woman in the pic.Well "Ha, ha!", we've been duped by Madison Ave, yet again. They are not even serving hot dogs!

Apparently "Dollar Hot Dogs" is a pseudo clever way of baiting the average, hardworking man, to come to your establishment only to be disappointed by the lack of meat in a tube.

I walked in, camera in hand, to begin another sandwich story for the masses. When I inquired about the $1 dogs, the bartender simply pointed to the live band and said "All yours."

This whole situation is, in a single word: fucked up

So unless you get some kind of nourishment from classic rock to progressive pop, to gangster rap being performed by some guys who wouldn't know a wiener from a bratwurst, avoid the Shannon on Wednesdays. It's just hot women dancing to live music.

Whoopee, you losers!

Pizza Pie in Manhattan? Who knew?

Totonno's Pizzeria Napolitano at 1544 Second Ave., New York, NY 10028 near 80th St. in Manhattan is a Coney Island landmark. The Upper East Side location is one of several in this family of coal oven establishments.

Did you know the Upper East Side is basically not connected to the rest of the island of Manhattan? It seems to be some bizarre geographic anomaly.

My primary take away is the crust. I could happily consume plain crust from this pizzeria with the shameful, hurried, vigor of a fat kid sneaking a stash of feel good treats to my hiding place for bedtime.
There are few things better than a slice in Hoboken. Pizza is the most popular health food in New Jersey, after all. Followed by sandwiches, fruit smoothies, and oriental food.

Some of the most notable spots in the Squared Mile include:
Benny T's
Filippos on First
Uptown
Grimaldis Brick Oven

The annual per capita consumption of pizza in Hoboken to roughly 40 lbs versus an annual average of 25 lbs nationwide.

Recently HobokenSandwich received an email from a very sick little boy who wanted to share his favorite pizza spot with me.

But it turned out the kid lives on the Upper East Side of Manhattan which would have been very inconvienient since the UES is essentially the middle of nowhere. So HobokenSandwich was forced to ask the terminally ill child to "please make the effort to come to Hoboken, or else stop sending tear stained letters written in crayon because HobokenSandwich simply cannot make the 4 hour trek from the heart of Manhattan to the Upper East Side. It's not gonna happen, little guy, so give it up! Nobody likes a whiner."

After a few more letters, and a small neighborhood fundraiser held by the childs family and neighbors to subsidize HobokenSandwich (and a little something extra for the effort), yadda, yadda, yadda, here we are.

So this post is essentially a "dream come true" for little sick kid, whats his name. In that light lets all give Timmy, or Jimmy, or whatever a big round of applause for giving HobokenSandwich the kind of social validation that precedes lucrative sponsorship.

Imagine the positive effect on this childs health when from the confines of his bubble he discovers HobokenSandwich has been picked up by the Food Network, or the BBC, on the strength of this hearwarming piece of human interest. God bless the power of the media to connect us and make us all feel a bit more human.

If you know a terribly ill child who may or may not have long to live, please email us at sangweech@gmail.com to set up a heartwarming photo op.

If you cover expenses, and a little something extra for the effort, HobokenSandwich will come to the childs bubble, or iron lung, or whatever and pose for some promotional pictures and video. (please note: this is not an offer to eat with, or talk to sick children)
HobokenSandwich believes that some children are our future. Others not so much.

Anal Sandwich on the Second Date?

"Sharing an Eagles game with a gal is basically the equivalent of giving up anal."

-HobokenSandwich

I am a Philadelphia Eagles fan. I love Philly Cheesesteaks. I also like the cheesesteak place on Washington Street in Hoboken named "Philly's Cheesesteaks". I mentioned this establishment favorably in the past. Solid product. Solid people.

Anyhoo, the related question is:
I was considering asking a girl to watch the Eagles game this weekend on what would amount to a second date. But then it occurred to me that it might be way too much, way too soon.

I treasure my Eagles as much as any girl has ever cherished her virginity. I am sure of this. So I must give this a lot of thought. I dont want to just "give it away for free", so to speak.

Sharing an Eagles game with a gal is basically the equivalent of giving up anal. On the second date no less. I'm not a slut. I would not want her friends saying shit like "He probably watches the Eagles with 16 different girls during the regular season and a practice squad during bye week."

I would have to stick with a single chick through the playoffs. Postseason is no time to fuck around with your lineup.

Anyway, the sandwich in question is the Philly Cheesesteak.
The the etiquette question is: Anal/Eagles game on the second date?

HobokenSandwich is old fashioned

A Sandwich Boy Becomes a Sandwich Man

Ordinarily HobokenSandwich would not bore you with tales of family gatherings. On this particular day after the holidays things were different.

HobokenSandwich was lounging about, alternating between half-sleep and games of Mario Cart on Pop-Pop's WII.

Pop-Pop alternating between half-sleep and startled awakenings where he bolts upright and looks around.

Brother of HobokenSandwich playing chess with uncle of HobokenSandwich. Until......young brother of HobokenSandwich decides to emerge from the great shadow of sandwich mediocrity and take his place at the table of great sandwich men.
Amorosos italian roll
Moms chicken leftovers
Proscuitto de' Parma
Brie cheese
Pepprocini

"Anybody want a sandwich?" brother questions while taking a break between games of chess with uncle. To no reply he crafts his own sandwich.

The smells and sounds of a hot pressed sandwich begin to waft through the house.

The boy has crafted a sandwich with olfactory properties so fantastic that Pop awoke fully from his intermittant slumber.

A sandwich smell so wonderful to behold that HobokenSandwich immediately ran to the kitchen and began snapping sandwich pics with a vengeance. (it becomes a question of instinct, and the training takes over completely)

On the surface this may sound like a typical sandwich coming of age story, but it is so much more. Truly.

This is a young man who has been trapped in my shadow his entire life. Struggling to overcome a feeling of "second place" to the superior looks, intelligence, charisma, and reputed big thick cock of his older sibling.

It must have been tough on the kid growing up as "HobokenSandwich's brother". Not unlike Eli Manning, the kid has emerged from the shadow as his own man.

I give the sandwich a "C+".

HobokenSandwich is willing to share some small portion of the spotlight. When appropriate.
