Now that’s an improvement…

From the Wolfman to Wall Street banker. Before and after shots of my shave at Southern Ocean Medical Center (great job, Julius!). I’m here after developing some issues at the rehab center. Hope to be back there in a few days

Worst-looking chicken parm ever? Maybe this one, at an undisclosed location

[Pete Genovese @petegenovese]

Mango habanero wings, Mac n cheese and the largest pretzel ever. Mickey’s Port o Call, Tuckerton. Yeah, I’m hungry

[Pete Genovese @petegenovese]

@donaldc58 No

[Pete Genovese @petegenovese]

Chicken cacciatore, Tuccillo’s Tomato Pies, Mystic Island. The Italian dishes there may be better than the pizza, and the pizza is first-rate

[Pete Genovese @petegenovese]

@WestEssexNOW Not quite

[Pete Genovese @petegenovese]

@johndesio Yep. They made my list of overlooked Jersey Shore restaurants last year

[Pete Genovese @petegenovese]

Just because you’re in rehab doesn’t mean you can’t eat well. Angel hair in pomodoro sauce, Tuccillo’s Tomato Pies, Mystic Island. Homemade bread and cherry pie. It’s all pretty damn good. No, I’m not home yet. It’s only been three months😊

[Pete Genovese @petegenovese]

@LMR413 I’m still in rehab

[Pete Genovese @petegenovese]

After several weeks of horrible rehab center food, I get to feast. Chicken souvlaki pita, horiatiki salad, Kostas Grill, Tuckerton. One of NJ’s best Greek restaurants

[Pete Genovese @petegenovese]

@spongeworthy2 Dude, I just got them. I have died and gone to pastry heaven. You drove all the way from Manasquan?

[Pete Genovese @petegenovese]

The reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. There was a water pipe break (!!) at my rehab center so now I’m being transported to a rehab spot in Gloucester County

@petegenovese

[Pete Genovese @petegenovese]

@spongeworthy2 Yes. Minutes from where I’m at, Atlas in Washington t-ship

[Pete Genovese @petegenovese]

@spongeworthy2 I’d be your friend forever with a half dozen raisin sticky buns from Aversa’s 😎

[Pete Genovese @petegenovese]

@spongeworthy2 where do you live?

[Pete Genovese @petegenovese]

@BrainsAndBraun_ @J_Schneider I’ve been in the hospital and was unable to update the list. Sorry

[Pete Genovese @petegenovese]

@tryinsmilin Not ObCo

[Pete Genovese @petegenovese]

After a prolonged stretch of hospital food, I could really use a great big fat oozy doozy jelly donut.

[Pete Genovese @petegenovese]

@RealMikeRoz I’m waiting … 😎
