Poor New Jerseyites

According to The Sopranos, anyway.

First off the Soprano family eats those pathetic and unappetizing Lincoln
Logs.

Then they go to a diner which has what Tony calls the best onion rings in
the state. And the onion rings look pathetic and unappetizing.

That's Jersey for ya, pathetic and unappetizing. No one goes there for
the food anyhow.

For one,
they were far too small to be real homemade onion rings. Then they were
clearly breaded instead of battered (there's a Sopranos joke in there
somewhere).

Yeah, they was greased either way.

Quoted message said:

I thought they looked like frozen OR's, and maybe even those pretend kind
that are made from chopped onions. These are the best Joisey has to offer?
Jerseyites must pretty much live on those sandwiches from Satriales.

(BTW apparently the diner in that last scene doesn't even have onion rings
on the menu.)

Is this the best *you* have to offer?

Nonsense. We NJites have many fine restaurants from which to chose.

Be that as it may, I wonder if I am the only person in the United States
who has never seen the Soprano's show.

I know several blind people who watch more TV than I do. So I've also
never seen it.

I've never seen it either! Anyway when I lived in NJ way back when, most
of the lower half of the state (area code 609 at the time) seemed to be
owned by Campbell Soup. It's not called the 'Garden State' for nothing.
That and the pharmaceutical companies; good combination!

We have some very fine restaurants in NJ. One of my favorites, in
Central Jersey, is the Lambertville Station, which is an old inn from
back in the 1700s that also has a great restaurant. They feature a
different wild game meat every day as a special. Last time, I had a
buffalo rib eye steak that was fantastic!

Stan,

You also have Fatburger. One, somewhere in northern NJ and another in
Atlantic City.

Without starting a controversy, they're undoubtedly the BEST hamburgers on
the planet.

Ditto about the Soprano's. I didn't see Sex in the City until it went
into reruns last year. Borrrrring! I don't watch it now that I can.

Poor rest of the country, if they believe what they see on TV. It's
not even a diner.

They should have gone out for hot dogs -- Rutt's is right there, and
today you'd be jealous of the culinary mastery of New Jersey.

Anyway, putting down the Garden State's like making fun of fat kids.
Pick a more challenging target -- Jersey never did nothin' to you.

Rutt's. I saw that showcased on a food tv show. Stuck in a rutt in New
Jersey.

Then there's "The Garden State". How'd they think that up??

And the state fruit is a blueberry? WTF? We in Pennsylvania laughed
ourselves to sleep over that one for months! Should be the Jersey tomato.
Or cranberry, even. Stupid NJ politicians.

That AND they got a state dinosaur! No wonder it went extinct 70 million
years ago.

Then there are those gun laws!

And they ain't got a state song!?? Someone talk to Bruce Springstein or Bon
Jovi?!?

Rutt's... NJ in a nutshell. Can't even do a decent cheesesteak!

And ya better not go runnin' to Pennsylvania when the [censored] hits the fan.
We'll be armed to the teeth and waiting on the Delaware river if ya do.
You've been warned.

New Jersey--Where New York sent it's Giants and Jets!

LOLOLOL!

Nope, not cheap. Every burger can't be! Still, a double king Fatburger with
EVERYTHING is the only burger I've ever eaten with a knife and fork. How
absurd!?! 😄

Cripes, Stan! Can't take a joke? My family's from Jersey! I know what's
there.

But to entertain the population that's out of the loop: Jersey is where
you get dumped when you get whacked in New York*.

(Jersey thugs dump elsewhere... don't [censored] where you eat, as it were)\

Nah. I'm sure there must be two or three of you.

* Unless its a Woody Allen movie. Then you get dumped in Red Hook.

That Fat Burger has stores in NJ is news to me, but I have eaten at one
of their outlets in Las Vegas a couple of times. I thought their burgers
were fine, by kind of expensive. I like In N Out burgers better and they
cost a lot less, but I don't think they have any restaurants in NJ.

Andy, the next time you're in Philly, stop by Joe's Montana Grill. Its
on Broad Street near the Kimmel Center. They feature buffalo. They are a
chain owned by Ted Turner and I believe the meat on their menu is from
his buffalo ranch. The food there is fantastic! I had a buffalo brisket
platter with mashed potatoes that was out of this world when I went
there a couple of months ago.

These days, even if In N Out had a franchise right around the corner
from me, I would seldom go there because I am watching my weight and
eating fast food hamburgers is a once in a great while treat. sigh!
