LBI: Chowderfest
My ventures around LBI. Very rough, but hope you like it. We recommend counting Mets, Yankees & Phillies' apparel on people. Sorry about the typo on "Mets" vs. "Meets." It will be fixed tonight.

Take our survey . . .
Jon Bon Jovi from Sayreville is from North Jersey. Read this excerpt he gave in a Playboy magazine interview:
“The roadside diner right off the circle in Wall Township is a fabulous greasy spoon, one of the real silver-bullet diners. Taylor ham—a pork roll—is a Jersey fixture. Taylor ham with cheese on a hard roll is love. The big question is: ketchup or mustard? Everyone in north Jersey puts on mustard, everyone in the south, ketchup. I’m a mustard guy myself. A cherry Coke is wonderful with chipped ice. Diners are made for Sunday mornings or the day after when you need grease to soak up everything you did the night before. Then you order breakfast and lunch at the same time. That’s the greatest. It cures a hangover.”
It certainly challenges the Raritan River/ Driscoll Bridge theory . . which states that everything south of the Bridge is South Jersey. But Bon Jovi used both terms: Taylor Ham AND Pork Roll . . . but he used Taylor Ham twice. NORTH JERSEY!
Take our survery on whether you put ketchup or mustard on your Taylor Ham or Pork Roll.

Rutgers tailgating
Although Rutgers lost again this past weekend, there is no doubt this football team has united the state. You see flags in the southern & northern counties equally. Those flags were just not there five years ago. It is a pleasure to see. As you can tell, we are getting to the bottom of our conclusions. Enjoy the outtakes from the tailgate!
