Judi and I were honored to be asked to judge a cannoli/waffle eating contest at Pier Village on Sunday.
It was a picture perfect summer day. The beach was packed. People in bathing suits walking around everywhere. And the line was out the door at Coney Waffle in Long Branch.
The owners Joe and Mike revived their mom’s old waffle machine from Coney Island in Brooklyn. They filled two hot dog bun shaped waffles with cannoli cream and WOW! About a dozen brave men and one woman stepped on stage to see who could eat in three minutes.
Needless to say a good time was had by all!
Thanks for the info. No longer on Face Book so they are not allowing me to see much. Looks like some interesting stuff. BTW, my people were from the Abruzzi portion of Italy.
Red hair and blue eyes, like many Abruzzese?
“Red hair and blue eyes, like many Abruzzese?”
No, standard issue black hair brown eyes. Did not know that about Abruzzese. In my 72 years, I have never met a red hair Italian. Many blond hair and blue eyed, most likely of Swiss heritage.
“Leave the gun, take the cannoli”
The ones I knew had sort of rust color hair and blue eyes, with pale olive skin.
