1st Annual Hoboken Mutzfest

The 1st annual Hoboken Mutzfest was held last weekend  Most of the mutz producers of Hoboken were in competition.  Fiore's was a no-show.
M&P Biancamano's  swept the awards, taking both the judge's trophy and the people's choice.
 

Yes...Biancamano's is King of fresh mozzarella in <<<Hoboken>>>


It could not happen to nicer people...and it was a wonderful sold-out event that raised funds for great causes...and lifted the spirits of <<<Hoboken>>> after getting hit with such a storm a few months ago.

It's good to be King!

Mr & Mrs Biancamano with the beautiful award...
 

This sounds like something that would have been on my 2013 calendar had I known about it. It's now on my general 2014 calendar for the 2nd annual(whatever date it might be..). What a great idea, might be the only one in all of the USA. I'm sure there's at least one in Italy somewhere.
 
And, based on this, it's only $10, for I'm not sure exactly what, but I'd gladly  pay twenty next year:

I met Mr. Biancamano while I was up there in November.  He was really very hospitable.  When he found out I was trying to find Pickleliscious pickles, he went out of his way  to help me look for them.
I've only had Biancamano's and Fiore's mozzerella, and they weren't side-by-side, so I'm not qualified to judge that.  I thought they were both excellent.

We were gonna find Pickle Licious if it was the last thing we did. It was the big finish of the day of a day in <<<Hoboken>>>

Indeed M&P Biancamano Fiore's & many others make excellent fresh mozzarella.

It was the best ticket in town! The $10 price of admission...

It was advertised as samples of fresh mozzarella but it included full-on samples of sandwiches an array of various antipasti & hot dishes.

Entertainment

Dessert

Beer & wine

It also included the thrill of victory. That's priceless.

For reasons which I am not quite sure, every time River Edge (NJ) has a festival, Pickle Licious always has a booth.

We love Pickle Licious for having wonderful pickles & such as well as showing up three extra weeks (through the week of Thanksgiving) after the Farmers Market scheduled season was concluded.


They are good pickles for showing-up after a disaster...and we love them for doing that.

Props to our pickle people & a recipe for pickle soup...

Not just ANY pickle soup...Pickle Licious pickle soup.

Because we're special.

With 51 weeks until the next Mutzfest I will report & remind my <<<Hoboken>>> peeps following the updates that Monday is the beginning of Hudson Restaurant Week.
