HR: DIning with Dwek

GA's giving The Hudson Reporter props for its very clever Dining With Dwek; a 2-year Big Rig anniversary  retrospective featuring Hoboken, Secaucus, Jersey City, Weehawken, North Bergen, Union City and Bayonne as a series of 'Last Suppers' for the ensnared.

To name a few of them: Peter Cammarano, Leona Beldini, Dennis Elwell.  Ensnared by FBI informant Solomon Dwek, who wined and dined his unwitting victims on FBI surveillance video at a number of Hudson County eateries. 

GA loves that ironic twist in story-telling that's steeped in dark humor. The politician buys Dwek's bull, takes the bribe, and unwittingly turns his restaurant order into a Last Supper... Yum-yummy!

As Dwek dispatches them one by one on camera like this: (watch video)



So GA found the dining perspective in each vignette quite amusing. Nice work, folks.  A shout-out to Ray Smith and you too, Al Sullivan!

Poor Al's getting his ass kicked on nj.com.  I mean destroyed.  So I have a few original words that I just thought of for those engaged in the nj.com violence against Mr.Sullivan:

People, I just want to say, you know, can we all get along? Can we get along? Can we stop making it, making it horrible for the older people (like Al Sullivan)and the kids?...It’s just not right. It’s not right. It’s not, it’s not going to change anything. (he'll still smoke the crack) We’ll, we’ll get our justice....They won the battle, but they haven't won the war....Please, we can get along here. We all can get along. I mean, we’re all stuck here for a while. (until the Feds load the paddy wagon) Let’s try to work it out. Let’s try to beat it. Let’s try to beat it. Let’s try to work it out. 

Okay, so maybe that wasn't original. But it could have been if I'd thought of it first.

The point is, Al may hit the crack pipe sometimes but he bleeds just like the rest of us.  Well, I assume he does.  I've actually never seen him bleed so it's pure speculation.  If he didn't bleed, that would make him the Undead, an alien or possibly a mirage. (?) 

And you Al, you just don't understand the comedy stylings of bludiamonds.   He's hilarious, pure genius.  Just because YOU don't find him funny doesn't mean the rest of us can't.  So lighten up.

But I digress...

GA did a piece last March called Dessert with Dwek, which pondered whether Mike Russo had ordered dessert at The Light Horse Tavern, where he'd met with Dwek.  And if so, what kind?    

GA never found out.

But I was delighted to have dinner there at The Light Horse last week with a friend.  It was delicious!  No dessert for me. Or him. Calories, you know.  If you go, do try the Fish and Chips.  Yum. I wouldn't mind having that for my Last Supper.  Fish and Chips.  

With dessert.
