Voice - Dessert

The last course was welcoming. We were thrilled the portions were small so we could reach this deconstructed chocolate crunchy berry rich goodness. It was good but a little too rich to follow something like a pork belly. Either way it was excellent and this restaurant's regular restaurant menu was better to do than the bar menu. Highly recommended.

Voice - Pork Belly

When this course came out we became sure we were on the main course. Due to my mixed positive results of cooking an entire pig, I have much respect for chefs who can cook it well and balancing the fat and meat so they give you enough of both for flavor. This picture is a little better but I always have an issue with dark restaurants and my pitiful camera not washing it out. Where as some of my other pictures have the resolution of a sasquatch or loch ness photo, this one looks like paparazzi approached the pork belly. Oh well - it was good.

Voice - Fish Course

This flaky fish sat upon tomatillos and potatoes but for the life of me I don't remember what the waiter said. He told us the name which at several iterations sounded like Calicojack, Africotupac, and/or Lojack. Either way it was very good and even though the courses were not full size we lost count if this was the main. A 5 course tends to turn into a 6 or 7 with amuses, bemuses, and tremuses.

Voice - Snow Pea Ravioli

This was probably the most unusual course. The fresh ravioli were filled with a marscapone snow pea puree that melted in your mouth. The sauce that had a taste like chicken-a-la-king was a nice contrast. The picture with the lack of light and white plate make this look like a pale child in a snowstorm but believe me it was good.

Voice - Good Tuna

This was a very nice piece of tuna and the pickles, asian pears, and mango puree worked well with it. It tasted very fresh and was cut thick enough to feel the texture. Mmmm...chicken of the sea.

Voice - Truffle Porcini Cappuccio Soup

I am in a restaurant called Voice. I ate here previously but ate at the bar and had sliders because I was low class. This time the 5 course meal was in order. The amuse bouche was a porcini mushroom bisque with truffle foam in a cute cup. It was very good and had no caffeine.

Southern Pit Plates

When food comes in compartmentalized plates you know that style over
substance is not a priority. Cheryl got the ribs and I got the pork and
beef plate. All the meat was very good but the sides were excellent.
Brunswick stew, baked beans, finely chopped cole slaw, and cracklin'
cornbread (with pork cracklins) show me they have skills. I would highly
recommend it even with overly white atmosphere. Let's just say Griffin
hasn't seem the memo regarding about the end of segregation. Nuff said.

McGhin's Southern Pit Bar B Que

This is the kind of place you can tell is going to be good when you see the
decor. Old trucker hats stapled to walls and lots of happy pig
paraphanalia. The clientele made up of obese rednecks and old people give
the place an authenticity that Piccadilly cannot hold a candle to.

Proper Princeton Picture

On my way out it stopped raining for 10 seconds and I was able to get this
picture. I think it is famous because it is tall and regal.

Triumph Brewing Company

Next door to the Princeton Bookstore I had to take my new sweatshirt for a
spin to see how it would handle beer. The $8 sampler of 7 beers was very
good and I think this place is frequented by smart people.

That's Princeton, I Swear

My proof is not great but I can prove it with my t-shirt purchase. I fought
my impending pneumonia by buying a Princeton Lacrosse sweatshirt (with a
free t-shirt) for $15. I should be fine now and am going to look into what
Lacrosse is.

Palmer Square - Princeton

I should feel smarter but I am soaked by the rain. This picture was taken
from a pub so I could eat and dry out. The area is very nice and has a
different feel than University of Florida. Lot if fun to see Einstein's old
haunts.

Wegman's Market Cafe

This is just the prepared food section and it was overwhelming to see the
dedicated kosher meat area, cannolli assembly line, sushi bar, and sub
shop. The food looked incredible and I ended up with an Italian sub and a
cannolli to honor the area. All very good.

Wegmans!

Cheryl told me that I should head here to bask in the glory of the coolest
grocery store ever. This was no Kroger and was a NE institution. Getting
dinner seemed like a good idea since I didn't feel like going to a
restaurant. I know I said I resisted a restaurant. The plog is sad.

Asbury Park Theater

I am unsure if this building was a theater originally but the Art Deco
styling implies to me it was some sort of meeting place because there were
some bars and restaurants in it. Even though it was run down the place
added to the character.

Asbury Park Boardwalk

This was quite interesting. It definitely looked like something that was
hopping back in the 20's but has been let go. It was cold and dreary and
the only people around were fishing or loitering.

Monmouth Mall in NJ

I arrived to the hotel in Tinton Falls and since it was raining, I decided
to make my way to the mall to stretch my legs. These types of classy stores
are among the goombas making out with their feathered hair girlfriends
eating pepperoni pretzels and they scared me. I also think I saw a guy
sniff something off a baby changing station in the bathroom. Needless to
say I left.

Asbury Park

The GPS is a wonderful way to get lost and see new things. I went under
attractions and did not realize how close I was to the Jersey shore. I had
the guidomoblie and headed to Bruce Springstein's inspiration. It was cold
and dreary and looked like a Sopranos episode. It is amazing how it looked
abandoned yet beautiful.

Welcome to New Jersey

For some reason Avis thought I needed to look like some sort of white
teenager who thinks he's a thug. I could not be more obvious from a
speeding standpoint so I will be taking my time driving south. Thug life!
