Trenton, New Jersey's De Lorenzo's to Close Hudson Street Location

Sad news. It should be preserved as a national historic landmark. Like many Trenton families, it was a family tradition. My dad went there after high school. We'd go every Thursday night growing up, and now I take my ddaughter there (when I can). Sam's place in Robbinsville keeps the family tradition alive. I hope Gary enjoy's a well deserved retirement and makes some guest appearances at Sam's location.

Would You Rather Have Good Bad Pizza, or Bad Good Pizza?

I'd rather have good "bad pizza". Went to a new VPN style place outside DC. Crust was soggy, very disappointing and expensive. Rather have a good "bad" pizza such as Ledo's. Living in DC, about the best you can hope for is a good "bad" pizza. Looking forward to visiting the family in NJ over the holidays for some good "good" pizza.

Anyone Else Like Pork Roll?

Born in Trenton and Grew up nearby. Taylor Pork Roll is the best. Best in a sandwhich with egg & cheese or just cheese. I think I even saw a recipe here on S.E. for a pork-roll topped burger.

A Sandwich a Day: Hot Sicilian at The Deli in Fairfax, VA

Huh? Much better haogies in the DC area. What about the Italian Store, Mangilardo's, or Taylors Gourmet?

Washington, D.C.: Il Canale Is Georgetown's First True Neapolitan Pizza

Haven't tried, but Pizzeria Paradiso in Georgetown makes nice pies (and they have an outstanding beer selection to go along with them).

A Sandwich a Day: Smoked Meat at Schwartz's Montreal Hebrew Delicatessen

Great sandwich. My wife and I made a point of stopping here on our trip to Montreal a few years back. Well worth it. Wish we could get something like it in the states. Also have great bagels (made in a wood burning oven) in Montreal as well.

A Sandwich a Day: Italian Roast Pork at DiNic's in Philadelpha, PA

Used to stop here every time I was in Philly. Make sure you have lots of napkins, these sandwiches are juicy. I also highly recommend you add the provolone. It is sharp provolone (not the stuff you usually get on a hoagie) and adds a terrific flavor to the sandwich.

Costco, a Pizza Chain Hiding in Plain Sight

Do Not Like! Way too much cheese, cardboard crust, strange sauce. If you are gonna east at Costco you will be much better off with the 1/4lb all beef Hebrew National Hot Dog or the Italian Sausage sandwich with peppers & onions.

A Sandwich a Day: Italian Sub from the White House Sub Shop in Atlantic City, NJ

MUST GO if you are in AC! I grew up in Philly 'burbs abd the White House has one of the best hoagies around (even if they call them subs).

Road Trip: Breakfast at Stanley in New Orleans

Just happened to find this place by chance wandering around the Quarter looking for a place for breakfast. Had the Eggs Stanley (the eggs are lightly poached, not fried), was excellent. Highly recommend this place. The lunch options look outstanding as well.

Poll: Sausage Slices, Chunks, Pellets, or Kibble?

Best is fresh sausage pinched off into "globs" (don't know the proper term) and put onto the pie.

Trenton/Bordentown New Jersey: Hunting for the Tomato Pie

Love Delorenzo's. Grew up going there at least once a week (as did my father).

P.S. Sam (not Sal) runs the new location and his parents run the original in the 'Burg.

Barbecue and Fried Fish: Foods of the Colombian Llanos

If you are in Bogota you should check out Andres Carne de Res. Haven't been to the new location in town, but the Chia locations is a great place to try some terrific grilled meats, great drinks, music, and dancing.

Bordentown, New Jersey: Mastoris Diner Serves Up Massive Burgers

Wow. Mastori's is an amazing diner. Everything is giant there. We always stopped on the way home from the shore. Made the end of the vacation a little less painful.

Alexandria, VA: Hard Times Café

Wouldn't reccomend for burgers. BUT, if you are in the mood for great, Chili, Chicken Wings, and Onion Rings (as well as a decent selection of draft beer). Hard Times can't be beat!

Hot Dog of the Week: Pork Roll Double Meat Dog

Mmm. Looks good! I was born in Trenton so very familiar with Pork Roll. You should add this under the column (What to cook for Memorial Day weekend). I'm going to give this a try (hopefully I can find some pork roll here in D.C.)

'Slice' Poll: Chicken Pizza - Way or No Way?

No way. Possibly a good chicken sausage, but otherwise no.

Now a plate of good spicy grilled chicken wings as an appetizer (pre-pizza), now that's a different story!
