Okay, I know – the photos are dark which is why I’ve not posted anything from the bakery yet. But, the evidence needs to be brought to light! These chickens/roosters are all the same! Martha’s Dandee Creme, Maryland Rooftop Chicken and now Del Buono’s Bakery Chicken. Clearly people are in the know on where to go to get one of these fiberglass cluckers. Who makes them?! How does one get privy to such knowledge? I need to know!

How great would it be to see an army of fiberglass chickens lined up like the Chinese Terracotta soldiers?

We stopped in to see Lucy one night on our way back to New York. She stood quiet and alone in the February chill. She was one of the the sights on my To-Do List of 2010 and although we didn’t get the opportunity to go inside, I’m glad we visited.

Lucy has a long history – you can read about here on LucytheElephant.org or Wikipedia’s Lucy the Elephant page.

We’d passed the Hot Grill dozens of time while visiting my Aunt who lived just up the block in Clifton, NJ. It wasn’t until her passing that  I’d stopped in to experience the grill for myself. It was like one last gift that she gave me; a good laugh and  a smile. I ran down to grab a hot dog for my dad as the family began to gather. Not knowing anything about the goings-on of the Hot Grill I was treated to a place that had it’s own language and flavor. A neighborhood institution that can’t be faked or duplicated.

When I walked in, there was a mass of people standing spread out in front of the counter. The older gentleman behind the register would quietly take an order and then in a true Jekyll and Hyde moment, shout back to the grillmen with a purposed ferocity in a secret language. “Okay so that’s 2 Texas Weiners, honey?”  “2 ALL THE WAY!” It was a fascinating process to watch.

The sign out front proudly claims “The World’s Tastiest Texas Weiners.” We sat in the wood paneled dining room under a smaller sign that has an awesome typo: “World’s Testiest Texas Weiners.”

This Paul Bunyan stands holding his giant roll of carpet underneath the Pulaski Skyway in Jersey City. He is featured in the opening credits sequence of the HBO show The Sopranos. Just a stones throw away stands a pair of Muffler Man pants without a torso!

This Muffler Man is a bit of a fancy-man, don’tcha think? Is it just me, or is that pink lipstick?
