Fat Guy Eats: La Galleria in Bordentown, NJ

by tonyd on April 21, 2018 at 12:01 am

Restaurant: La Galleria

Address: 810 Ward Ave, Bordentown, NJ 08505

Food:  Italian/Pizza Stuff

Price:  Average

Portions:  Big

Taste:  Mind Blowing

Service:  Very Good

Atmosphere:  Pizzeria

 

My brother picked out this place for my folks’ belated Anniversary Dinner.  I was skeptical when we walked in.  It was a local pizzeria that served Italian food, but the place was packed.  That’s a good indication.  I also noticed they seemed to have good fries.  We had to wait about 20 minutes for a table and I noticed they had a lot of crazy pizzas.  One of them appeared to be a General Tso’s pizza.  I had to try it.

We sat down.  I order a slice of that, a garden salad and something called a Picasso sandwich with fries.  First up, the pizza.  It was incredible.  Not only did I have the choice of broccoli or no broccoli, but there was solid chicken on it throughout the slice.  I could’ve just eaten about five slices of that.  Next up, salad, definitely good and fresh.  My family got some other apps, so I tried them.  They had this garlic bread with broccolirob and sausage.  It’s good.

The bread was amazing.  No doubt they cooked it fresh in their ovens, but then we had this olive oil dip and man—  It was just about the best olive oil dip I’ve every had.  Amazing.  I wish I had the recipe.  I wanted to drink the whole thing.

The sandwich was delicious.  It was a chicken cutlet with mozzarella and penne vodka sauce.  OMG.  So rich!  By this time, I was filling up, so I had to save half of that.  But the fries!  The fries were fresh cut, bros!  Fresh cut fries are just the best.  God damn they were good!  Plus my nephew gave me a piece of his pizza, that was great—  White pizza with ricotta.  My other nephew gave me a taste of his desert, which was like a chocolate cover peanut butter ganache.  (By this time, all I could do is take a little taste.)

Jesus, it’s amazing.  You have to take a trek to this place.  If I could, I would invest in doubling the size of this place.  All amazing food!

I give La Galleria 9.5 out of 10 keggers.  It’s a little crowded, but his cook has some chops!

Twitter in Focus: Jennifer Tilly

by tonyd on April 18, 2018 at 12:01 am

Hey Bros!

Welcome to Twitter in Focus where media comes to die!  Today’s contestant is an actress with a baby girl voice, Jennifer Tilly.  Let’s see what Mrs. Chucky is tweeting!

@JenniferTilly

April 14th:  “RIP , a brilliant filmmaker. He directed my sister Meg Tilly in Valmont. She adored him. Here is Milos, Colin Firth, and Meg relaxing on the set between scenes.”

So many people dying these last two weeks.

April 15th:  ““Hello, can I call you back? It’s a bit chaotic here right now…” ”

That’s a messy museum.

April 15th:  “It’s a sign! License plate on the wall of in . Also the name of a cult indie film I did written by and directed by .”

Fast Sofa?  Interesting name.

April 15th:  “Okurrr…”

Not sure what she’s trying to type here.

April 15th:  “ was on his way to the airport when he heard my sister Meg was being considered for , and decided to make a detour…”

Cool behind-the-scenes story.

April 15th:  “I love Oscar Wilde’s ruminations on poker! ”

I didn’t realize Wilde was a poker player.

April 15th:  “Balance. ”

That’s a nice pic.

April 16th:  “Learned a useful word today: “Drunch.” It’s when you meet for a lunch that consists of mostly drinking. ”

Ha!

April 16th:  “Is it even possible to go to  these days and wear a flower wreath “ironically”? No? I didn’t think so. ”

Does it really matter what you wear when you get that wasted?

23 hours ago:  “I drove all the way across town to go to the party, only to find out I was a day early! There’s no one here but me and Rick.”

At least the extra day will give him time to buy furniture.

Okay, let’s rate Jennifer’s tweets.  Pretty genuine.  Nice behind-the-scenes.  Real bummer about Milos.  I give her tweets an 8 for Mustness, a 7 for Insanity and a 9 for Style.  That’s an overall score of 8, follow Jennifer.  And if you have a suggestion for Twitter in Focus, email me here.

Fat Guy Eats: Connie Mac’s in Pennsauken, NJ

by tonyd on April 16, 2018 at 12:01 am

Restaurant: Connie Mac’s

Address: 8000 S. Crescent Blvd., Pennsauken, NJ 08109

Food:  Irish Pub

Price:  Average

Portions:  Average

Taste:  Really Good

Service:  Good

Atmosphere:  Bar

After visiting Walt Whitman’s grave with my date, we decided to grab some lunch.  Unfortunately, Donkey’s was closed, but Connie Mac’s was nearby.   It’s hard to get to.  Unless you’re heading toward Philly on Crescent Blvd, you’re really going to have to go through a lot to turn around.  And if you miss the turn, you probably should just make the next turn, park and walk back.  Just FYI.

That all being said, it’s a solid place to get lunch.  The grilled roasted beef sandwich was delicious and came with homemade chips and a pickle.  They also roasted and cut their own roast beef and had several signature sandwiches.  My waitress also targeted me as a massive iced tea drinker and brought me a pitcher.  Bravo.  Beyond that, it’s a pretty typical Irish Pub.  Oh and I had a salad that was pretty decent.  Overall, I’d say these guys are doing the food right.

I give Connie Mac’s 8 out of 10 keggers.  I would totally go here again.
