Hello how are ya? How you doing today? I am sitting in one of my favorite places in Lakewood, New Jersey. It is called Upper Crust. I’m going to drink my Cappuccino. I love coming here. Because I can get something like this. It’s a Montecristo with cheese. So it’s a battered, fried, bread – Mozzarella cheese inside. And, and look how easy this is. I’m going to dip and then I will insert. I love the fact that kosher has come such a long way that I can go to a Chalav Yisroel joint in Lakewood, and get a fried, fresh mozzarella sandwhich. Fried macaroni and cheese, when we see it on a menu, I think we try it just about, almost as often as when we see dumplings on the menu. Nice tight Bechamel in there, it’s a nice batter. They have this seasoned Panko that they’re putting on a lot of stuff. Surprise, they’re putting some White Truffle Oil inside the Mac and Chees, so I guess inside the Bechamel. I happen to really like White Truffles. There is a debate about White Truffle Oil and how it should be used. And I think they’re using it very nicely in here, you just have to be very deft with it. Just a little bit goes a long way, like, it’s not complicated. They just make it delicious. It’s fried Mac and Cheese in a ball. It just tastes good. Oh hey there – just me and my coffee. One of things that I love about a place called Upper Crust is that they happen to make an excellent pizza. They make it very quickly – they make it very fast. They have a great dough. It’s a Hawaiian Pizza. It’s a kosher Hawaiian Pizza. I’m not supposed to eat more. Listen you find yourself in Lakewood, which I happen to think is a lovely town, you have a ton of options. But if you’re rolling down the 9, and you see this place called Upper Crust, ya’ll it’s worth stopping by for some, for some, like, just mad crunchies.
This is a, this should be the standard. A place like this where it’s quite, it’s nice, it’s pleasant, service is banging – it’s quick. Bonus content, or as I like to call “Oh we totally forgot we ordered dessert”. Yeah! We have S’mores pizza. S’mores. Graham cracker. Chocolate. Marshmallow. Melted. Bonfire. S’mores pizza: dough, chocolate, graham cracker, marshmallow, whipped cream…. Pizza… Just like that, look at that. Cut! I’m going to have some more.
