Copies of his debut humor book, “Junk Sale: Stories & Essays,” also will be available for purchase in paperback and hardcover editions. Lombardi will provide some free tasty samples from the cookbook as well.
In “The New Jersey Food Truck Cookbook,” Lombardi and Parisi, in conjunction with BestofNJ.com, present profiles of the best New Jersey food trucks, including easy-to-cook recipes from some of their most delectable meals.
These eateries on wheels offer mouthwatering favorites alongside innovative interpretations of iconic dishes.
The Jersey Roll truck and shop keeps tradition alive, slinging the Garden State staple pork roll, egg, and cheese sandwich to the masses. Beach vibes and good eats are found at the Surf and Turf Truck, where the BLT lobster roll offers a twist on the coastal classic. Baking some of the best cheesecakes in the region for more than forty years, Maddalena’s opened a roving dessert truck that serves the deliciously different cheesecake on a stick.
At 11 a.m. March 18, 2023, Lombardi also will celebrate the book’s release at Mama Dude’s, an eatery featured in the book, with owner Andrew Dudich. The restaurant is located at 11 Sunnybrae Blvd., Hamilton Township, N.J.
