I just got back from a vacation in Ocean City, NJ. Years ago I would not have dreamed of taking a vacation on the Jersey shore but my in-laws come from that area, so that was my introduction. It turns out that it is the perfect place for kids – the town is “dry” and there are two different parks with roller coaster and carousel rides on the boardwalk. There is also a giant water park and a couple of massive putt putt golf courses – and all of this is directly across from the beach.
But one of my personal favorites about vacationing there is the food. Aside from all the junk food, pizza and cookies, the sandwiches there were amazing. What I liked most about the sandwiches is the fact that they were not slathered with mustard or mayonnaise (which I like to refer to as “whipped bird embryos”).
I go to several search related conferences each year and even their “vegetarian” sandwiches come pre-slathered with mayo. And just about any restaurant in the South or West is quick to wipe on condiments. I haven’t eaten at McDonald’s in over 20 years but when I was a kid, I spent much time waiting for my special order that did not have loads of unwanted product.
But I was introduced to Primo’s in New Jersey (reluctantly) and it turns out that they have the best sandwiches I have ever tasted. And when I asked about mayo, they looked at me as if to ask, “why would we ruin a good sandwich with mayo?”. And I agreed.
