So today might be right in his wheelhouse. Yeah, that's because Tony is in Chatham this morning at a deli. Tony. I, I can't even imagine what you're gonna eat this morning. It's fantastic. I'm gonna start with a Taylor egg and cheese. That's, I'm told it. Number one. Number one, Anthony Pascarella is here, Pascarella Brothers. You already here at Chatham? Been here about 15 years, but in the business, 30 years they were in Morristown for a while. Now, they focus on the Chatham store. Anthony's cooking it up for us. Anthony, how, why, why is it that number one? Who, who says you're number one? So team Taylor New Jersey says we're number one. He's, uh, definitely knows his stuff. He's must have been about 1000 of them just this week. I'm gonna do that today. You just use fresh ingredients and, uh, it's about the only secret. Fantastic. Now you have some soups going here. I mean, you guys are busy, you start early going. Absolutely. We got to jump right in. What do you got? Tomatoes? You got tomato rice here, homemade. This is gluten free. That's good fresh soup every day. We don't add any nonsense to our reents. Very basic might be no more than four ingredients. Uh This is our mushroom marsala soup. Oh, there you go. That is the gluten-free dairy free and vegan. And again, the gluten-free is important to you. Tell us it's very important. So my son Nicholas who's 19 now is diagnosed with celiac disease when he eats soup. Um So the beginning was very tough. No one knew much about it here, especially in New Jersey. It's a little bigger out west. They, they know more about it and in Europe they're better at it. Ok? Got you, got you, you guys take care of it. Anybody who comes in has celiac disease, you take care of them, make sure they are. They are extremely happy to come here and find gluten-free food where they can order like regular customers. They can order off the menu. We have a separate gluten-free prep section. The staff is glu trained. Thanks. They're very happy to come here while you're finishing those up. Let me have that finish product you have on top there keeping it warm because I'm gonna devour it in a little bit. I look at that. That is fantastic. You're gonna go out to your brother here. Let's go out and see gino for a little while back here in uh behind the deli counter. Come on out here, Rudy Bo Gino. Oh man. Gino's chopping up, cooking up some stuff.

We got a couple of catering orders to pump out the door the size of that, man. It's not for faint of heart. You, you're clearly making that for me. There's no doubt about that, but since this is done I'm gonna take a bite of this. Look. It's Pas Corella Brothers. It's the best of New Jersey here in Chatham.

Well, we're starting in the dining room just to show it off for you. If you want to have a little guest, get together party. What have you, Pascarella brothers? Has you? Chatham can't beat it plenty of space. Where do you head on out? Now? We'll go out to where, uh, you know, all the goodness is all the food where you order, where you come in. Fantastic place. Been in business about 15 years, 30 years in New Jersey. They were in Mars Town for a while. Guys, bring it on out. What do you have for us this time? Let's, uh, take a look at what they have. We're even up on the TV. But look at that. Wow. Now gluten-free chicken parm. Ok. We have a gluten-free meatball parm sub once again, the subs come from two fields, baked shop in Berkeley Heights. Everything is gluten-free and that's again, talk about the importance of that as Anthony brings up uh some delicious soup as well, which a lot of us love this time. And I got some mushroom or salad. Some tomato rice. All homemade here. Very basic fresh ingredients. No fillers, no bases, no sauces, none of that. Just all homemade stuff here. My son has celiac disease. My son Nicholas diagnosed when he was two is now 19 years old. So it's been, it's been our whole life and we're very, very protective of all our gluten free customers. So anybody who comes in has celiac disease, they can order knowing that they're going to be good order right off the menu, like regular customers and they're, they're wide open. Most places can only accommodate grilled chicken and broccoli. They can literally order like regular people, whatever they want. Look at behind them too. I mean, this place is so busy. I mean, it's amazing since, since they opened this morning. Just working, working and getting it done. Good morning, everybody. Thank you so much. Hey, guys, you know, I'm originally from Philly. We talked about that. I'm a Philly's fan. It's all right. I know you'll get, but I noticed up there and I'm gonna give you credit for this. You got Jersey Cheesesteak. G, no, not a Philly cheesesteak. A Jersey cheesesteak. Just a Jersey cheesesteak, right and we also, we take care of our Philly people too. That really matter. It's included. I didn't even see that up there. I love our Jersey cheesesteaks. We feel like they're better than Philly growing up. Going down the shore down to Wildwood with all Philly people. So, you know it, that's the, that's so crazy about Jersey. Right? You grew up in North Jersey, but you go to Wildwood, you meet all the Philly people. You get South Jersey thrown in there, have a good stuff. Gluten-free Pascarella brothers can't beat it here in Chatham. Look at that, man. How good does that look? That is fantastic. You know what? I may order a couple of those one Phillies win the World Series. We are live in Sam Tony Caputo News. 12 New Jersey. Ladies will get it back to, you know, Lauren and I just came up with a great idea that cheesesteak should be called a Tony Caputo Cheesesteak because it has Philly and Jersey. You combine it. Voila. Tell Anthony and Gino, that's, that's what they need to do. Um.
