Fun with Youtubes: Mills Bakery

Sticking with the Fun with Youtubes theme of shit I loved as a kid, brings us this week to:

Mills Bakery aka the place that provided 50% of my calories anytime I went to New Jersey as a kid. I haven’t been in seven years, but it looks like it’s under new management.  Hopefully the cranky old biddy yelling “WHAT ELSE” at you as she boxes your pastries is still employed.

If you click on the link you get the video I really wanted to embed.  But alas that one is not on Youtube.

Eating New Jersey: Sanducci's

I hope everyone is sitting down when they read this. But New Jersey has some great Italian food. You read it here first. And Sanducci's Trattoria is a perfect example of this excellense. Nothing really fancy. Just good Italian food. This was my first trip there and I was overwhelmed by delicious sounding choices on the menu. I eventually decided on the Chicken Valdostano -- kind of an Italian take on Chicken cordon bleu, only better. And for dessert I had one of the best tiramisus I've ever had. The only misstep was the crabcake appetizer with a mango chutney. It was ok. But I've had far better. I cannot wait to go back and try some of the half dozen items I had to pass on.

Eating New Jersey: White Manna

Located along the mostly non-toxic Hackensack River in beautiful crime-free Hackensack, New Jersey, White Manna is a Mecca for the lover of the Slyder (White Castle, Krystal).

But White Manna is better, fresher and more entertaining. Like the White Castle and Krystal, these are tiny hamburgers. Only White Manna uses fresh hamburger rather than frozen. Also, grilled onions are atop each burger rather than semi-reconstituted onion like substance. Each burger is grilled to perfection on a remarkably small grill. It is here where the magic really happens. You place your hamburer order, and your hamburger order only, with the grill chef. If you want fries, drinks or other item -- of which there are few on the menu -- you place it with the other workers in the restaurant. Amazingly the grill chef can remember everyone's order.

And be sure to have your ducks in a row when you do order. There is a Soup Nazi vibe to the place. But it is all worth it.

Eating New Jersey: DiAmici

If you ever find yourself in Woodridge, NJ -- and I don't know why you would -- and you want a nice slice of pie, then you have to make a stop at DiAmici. I mean look a this slice.


Makes your mouth water, doesn't it??
