Hi all, de-lurking so I can actually make comments! Followed HO since its inception. I suspect that if I had had an account my read stat would be in the top 10.
Diner food is my thing but I appreciate Fine Dining due to my dad owning a restaurant for 40 years 1968-2008. His wasnāt upscale but white table cloth & napkins.
Anyway, Greetings Earthlings!

I like potatoes way more then cheese. (But I do follow Presuntoās cheese topic avidly.

Right now, the biggest city in Maine but I grew up in NY about 2 football fields away from the NY/NJ border.

Didnāt finish my thought. My sister lives in Monmouth on the shore & I actually meant to de-lurk & make a mini trip report 3 /years/Labor Days ago when me & brother drove down for a visit. Was a very mixed trip.

Jersey Shore/Monmouth County? Itās never too late for a tale, feel free to drop by the NJ board and let us know of your trip. Even if itās a bit stale dated, might be some local favorites mentioned.

Ahhhh, we were sort of āgrowing up neighborsā (depending on your NY/NJ border area). I grew up in Wyckoff, NJ - about a 15 minute drive from Suffern, NY. Iām north of Boston now (have been here longer than I lived in NJ).

Dude, another potential Maine data point. Welcome!

Anyone know if thereās a limit to the # of links I can put in a post now that Iām ātrustedā?
Writing up a post for Portland, 15 links to places we go to. Not gonna bother if itās just gonna bounce them.
I donāt think there is a limitā¦but maybe start with 3-5, and add the rest as replies to your initial post?
