The improbable win of the Jets over the Pats is nothing short of astounding and inspiring. The erratic Jets were up against the clear Superbowl favorites. There wasn't a sportswriter who didn't pick the Pats to go all the way. Only a handful of people believed in the Jets. Pats fans must have crowded into Gillette stadium, confident and smug in their teams imminent victory over the wobbly Jets. And then the Jets opened a can of whoop ass on the Pats. They dominated from the very beginning, but with a team as confident and capable as the Pats, you never want to start counting your chickens before they hatch.
I was not a Jets fan (though I am now!) I remain a Giants fan. I was at the 2007 game between the Giants and the Pats, the one the Giants lost 35-38. Recap But, at that game I saw the flares of brilliance that would ultimately lead to a Giants victory in the Superbowl. I see the same quality in today's Jets. I am greatly pleased that it was another New york team that lead to New England's defeat, ending their season.
So, with the "clear favorite" out of the way, only the Steelers stand in the Jets way. But Pittsburgh Steel ain't what is used to be back in the Seventies.
We will post some specials for the Jets game. And, feel free to check out Smokey Joe's Superbowl Menu

Blizzard Blogging
Well, we here at Smokey Joe's have so much to say. 2011 is a New Year and with it we launch our new blog. All of our thoughts are circulating much like the blizzard that is brewing outside. You will hear us opine about a great number of topics but mostly about food, fun, and bbq. Moshe Morrison, our masgiach, manager, and all around mensch will be weighing in mostly with recipes and menu ideas. Moshe is a real foodie and we are lucky to have him here with us.
And I have a lot of thoughts about service, catering ideas, and new bbq ideas that I can't wait to get started. BUT, the really great thing about creating a blog is not that we get to spout off, but that you, dear customer, get to share your thoughts about all of these topics. What makes a blog great is the dialog that is created between Smokey Joe's and its customers. So, speak up. I know you won't be shy.
p.s. As I noted, the first blizzard of '11 is brewing outside. We will be open on Wednesday and will be offering a 15% blizzard beater discount to all dine in and take out customers. Also, we will have delivery available once the snow has stopped. You have to mention "Blizzard Beater" to get the 15% discount on your dine-in or take-out order.
