Hoboken Mutzfest 2014

Actually I was kind of surprised that there was only 6 competitors. Not a big deal as I don’t think I could have eaten any more.
The competitors were: M&P Biancamano, Littletown NJ, Fran’s Deli, Losurdo Brothers Deli, Gigi’s Rosticeria and Vito’s Deli.
Luckily I purchased tickets three days ago at Fran’s Deli because when we arrived those with actual tickets were let right in. Those that purchased online had to wait outside while the list was checked.
We only made it through the first hour. One, we were stuffed to the gills and two it was awfully crowded. Hopefully next year they will find a bigger venue because I will go back next year.
Some of the highlights were Littletowns sandwich which was Pesto, mozzarella, zucchini and broccoli Rabe.
Vito’s had a delicious mozzarella made with prosciutto and jalapeño. M&P did the map of Italy in mozzarella.
And the winner is in my book for the best plain mozzarella is (drum roll here) Losurdo Brothers. Their cheese had most taste, not too salty and excellent texture.
The $ 20 entrance fee goes to The Hoboken Family Alliance which is a great charity. It was definitely worth the price.
I would recommend trying all the competitors if you are in Hoboken. They did well. Mangia Bene!
