Introducing Regional Correspondent AJ Wellington

I like to think of New York and New Jersey as long distance cousins. Two beings with a lot of things in common but nothing to talk about... Well, what we need here is an ice breaker. Enter me, AJ Wellington. My job as Regional Correspondent for the Meat Mavericks is to break ice while I'm breaking bread. Perhaps more familiar with the black sheep in the family (noted for it's dense population and political corruption) New Jersey is home to many a meat lover. From the Brazilian Rodizio in the Ironbound District of Newark down to the fist pumping kind on the Jersey shore. You may find yourself asking, what do the suburbs have anything to do with me? Not normally one to point fingers, but NYC is technically responsible for the Urban Sprawl which created the suburbs of New Jersey. And if you enjoy reading about the appetites of our two "nubile blood thirsties," (thank you Errin) you may also enjoy my suburban forage. So before we delve further into the vilified Garden State, let's discover what it has to offer by way of food and social fare. This week I'll be visiting Elevation Burger in Montclair, NJ. Stay tuned ....
