True to
the name K & S was loaded with great cheeses, cured meats and prepared
dishes like broccoli rabe and sausage (always a favorite), but where
was that "Italian Classic" sub "Sak" was raving
about over in the forums? Not seeing anything like that on a
printed menu or up on the wall I decided to test this place out, so I said give me an Italian Sub. I was curious to see
what I would get on my sandwich with just your basic albeit nebulous
request. After a somewhat perplexed look from the person
waiting on me (part of the test) he went to work on my sandwich.
I was out-the-door with my sub and not real optimistic about what
awaited me and thought to my myself that this was going to be an
average sandwich at best, but I was prepared for much worse.
First off, what I ordered was rather non-descript by design and what
I got was a very non-descript sub, but the taste was ultra superior
and truly a delightful treat. The KS version of the Italian
sub was provolone and proscuittini (hot ham), the usual lettuce and
tomato, and it was fresh, plentiful, inexpensive and simply delicious. It also kept very
well so that I could snack on the leftovers the next day. The
next time you are in the Bridgewater area be sure to check out K
& S
Italian Specialties because they are special and a good find in this
part of the state where it can be hard to find a decent sub. -

Dickie
Dee's - People go out of their way to go to Dickie Dee's in
North Newark and I went out of my way to stop in because I craved
one of their awesome Italian Hot Dog's. Dickie Dee's has been
churning out this classic Northern New Jersey treat for decades and
when I showed up in the pouring rain so did everyone else to get
theirs. Located on Bloomfield Avenue in North Newark just
south of Bloomfield, this corner neighborhood mainstay continues to
feed the locals and guys like me who go out of their way for this
Jersey treat born in Essex County.
Dickie Dee's has burgers, sausage and and other lunch favorites but
most went for what I went for - the Italian dog's. The dog's
come in two sizes the single and the double both made the same way,
just more of a good thing with the double. Dickie Dee's puts
the double together by starting off with half a loaf of fresh
pizza bread, then goes in the mustard, then the dogs. After that,
in goes some zesty peppers, onions and then topped off with
potatoes and ketchup and salt. If you care how the food is
cooked then Dickie Dee's might not be for you because it's not
health food. Locals know, love and have depended on Dickie
Dee's since 1958. If you aren't from the area I highly
recommend that you seek out this place for a taste of North Jersey
served daily -Jersey Shadow-
