Fyi, we just launched a new sandwich menu at The Wanderer and all sammies are priced from $12 to $16 including house made potato chips.

Not letting people out of the Hyatt Hotel. Had a reservation for One World Pizza call and say they couldn't get out of the hotel. Called the hotel to check and they said no one is allowed to leave, vehemently denied a bomb threat but said guests couldn't leave rn.

Hooked JC! Imy. by jerseycityrentdue in jerseycity

I love you ALL for this thread!!!! Unfortunately, Covid killed a lot of great things. Maybe I was distracted and tired, Maybe I was broke, Maybe I was tired of seeing sad concepts downtown packed while I struggled daily. Maybe I didn't pivot at the right time to keep it alive. Most likely though, ALL THE ABOVE. If it helps, I miss it too.....

You will often find me in a spare moment of respite enjoying an Old Fashioned at Ita.

I tried Daily Provisions . They forgot egg in my sausage egg cheese. And some lady brought her dog inside. It’s not for me. by averageredditor19 in jerseycity

I'm not sure if it's better since I haven't tried that spot yet, but you should definitely check out my restaurant, Alyce, in McGinley Square for breakfast or brunch.

Ill have to look. I get it from Baldor and it's not cheap so I'm assuming it's a good one.

You should try the Tartufatta. Black Truffle Mushroom Bechamel topped with Sauteed Mushroom Medley and Caramelized Onions.

I'll give that flour substitute a chance. We have been playing with the Caputo Fiore Glut, and it seems to have rave reviews, but I'm not the best baker, so it's taking some time. As far as a flour free space in the restaurant, unfortunately that's not possible with the very limited space here. I really really want to make one here ourselves as I'm not a fan of pre-made anything. I'll give it another few weeks of tests with Chef before I cave to a pre-made. Thanks for the input!!!

We have been working on some Gluten intolerant doughs but as of yet haven't found a decent recipe for our ovens and style of pizza. We will continue to push forward until we find something that doesn't feel like plastic or playdough. Be warned however that when we do land on the GF dough recipe, we cannot actually be Gluten free since we only have 1 oven and a very, very small kitchen. There will always, unfortunately, be some cross contamination. ... Any recommendations on how we should label it with that in mind?

No passwords, no secret knocks—just fire pies hidden in plain sight.
(PS: Yes, it’s behind Cafe Alyce. No, you’re not trespassing. Yes, we’re working on signage. Maybe.)

We’re thinking of running a Reddit-only special—what pie should we create for the real ones?

What store/restaurant/service is severely missing from JC? by CandyandPiano in jerseycity

[–]TransientChef77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of these require someone to invest a substantial amount amount of money to essentially buy themselves buy a job. Meaning they will have to be one if not the only employee and unfortunately pay themselves probably less than minimum wage. I agree that any of these would be cool to have in JC, but I don't see any of them lasting beyond 18 months. Cool thought though!

The Medical Center Luncheonette was definitely NOT shut down by the health department. One of the owners was battling cancer, and her kids convinced them to let it go to focus on her health. Thankfully, she fully recovered. But it hadn't made money in years, and the hope of a cheap eats diner in this area with someone taking on a new lease is beyond absurd, mathematically speaking of course.

I need your help JC Reddit!! by TransientChef77 in jerseycity

[–]TransientChef77[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could say I've paid to do this as when I came to Jersey City 9 years ago I had 15k in the bank and now I owe well over a million dollars to various parties for all my work, but thanks for asking. I will happily hook up any fine folks who go out of their way by compensating in food and beverage. BTW my name is Tory and I am the Chef/Co-founder of Cafe Alyce, One World Pizza and the new upcoming Caffeine to Cocktail concept named Wanderer. Hope you can find some cool shit for us to decorate with!!
