Cpi

DD had a 3% increase in coffee prices effective yesterday where I usually get mine. Still do not understand why food and fuel are not included in the CPI by the Federal Reserve? Would seem that food and fuel would be key inflation indicators.

Tarentella's

Clark, NJ, good value, an okay wine list & bar. Portions are good size. Layout is more dinerish then classic italian resturant. Service was good but again more diner then fine dining.

Experience was good and worth the prices

Driving

People have no clue as to how to drive when near or approaching a funeral procession. The way some people drive makes you think that they want to be the star attraction in a funeral soon.

Inflation

4.63 for a bagel, coffee and a ledger from 7 11. The Federal Reserve says core inflation is near zero. Nothing is more core then food and fuel think the system maybe flawed.

5 Guys

What a nice hamburger. They cook the burger after you order it, what a unique concept. French fries were really good. All the trimming are availible including grilled onions. Hot dogs are on the menu. Not cheap but good value. Drinks standard coke cola products and refills included.

As I travel I will try 5 guys again

MAma Mia's BYOB wood ave linden
Service was not professional at all. Prices were below the norm by 5 - 10%. Pasta Fagolie was more beef and pasta okay but not what I expected
Gnoochi bolognaise was okay
Joe seemed to enjoy chicken murphy
Rae raved about her pasta and broccoli. LJ seemed neutral about ravs.
I have had their pizza and subs both good but cannot at this time recommend as a dining stop.

Stefano's

Went to model train show in edison yesterday with my wife and the Marinello. So where do you go for dinner at 6 with 4 grandkids? Olive Garden in Pistcaway, we arrive at 615 and are now looking at a 40 minute wait. What to do? Well we got lucky. Stefano's brick oven pizza was there looking right at us.
BYOB seats maybe 50. It was good and reasonable. Bread was different almost like a sourdough (baked on site), had a pizza which was very tasty, pasta fagoli was hearty, portions were good size, reasonable prices and good service. What a great find we will be coming back. I would recommend it.

Metuchen Inn

My buddy Victor is involved and you can see his classy touch everywhere. Not a BYOB, no senior citizen discounts here. You will enjoy the food and the redone decor.

Good Luck Vic

BYOB in Hopelawn not bad at all. Priced comparable with others.
Rae says that rave and red sauce were very good. I had carbonara which was excellent
Soup good but flat
Garlic knots with salad was a nice touch
