Viral Smash Burger Tacos Have Customers Flocking To This Family's LBI Cafe
"It's like a Big Mac on a taco." That's how Kristin Mailhiot describes the menu item that's been driving traffic to her LBI cafe — both online and IRL. Mailhiot opened Jersey Girl Grill on Long Beach Boulevard 16 summers ago with her husband, Shawn. They now have help running the place from their college-age kids. Mailhiot, who grew up in Philadelphia and Jenkintown, PA, launched the smash burger taco this summer after seeing a chef's fancier take on it on social media last winter. Once she nailed her own recipe, Mailhiot posted a photo of the finished product to Instagram, and things t…

A U.S. Postal Service supervisor from New Jersey openly sold 400 bogus COVID vaccine cards that she printed at her job -- while claiming that a graphic design degree was "paying off" for her, federal authorities charged.

Two of the buyers were from New Jersey and another was a federal employee in Virginia whose mother needed the card because she worked in a hospital and had to be …

19: This Key Factor Could Indicate Whether Stealth Omicron Will Cause New Surge In US
With the new “stealth” COVID-19 sub-variant emerging from the shadows in the US and overseas, researchers are concerned that one subset of Americans could potentially lead to a possible new surge of infections. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Omicron, which is known as B.1.1.529, has three sub-variants: the original BA.1 that remains the dominant strain, the “stealth” BA.2, which is picking up steam, and the more elusive BA.3. The new “stealth” variant - named for its difficulty to identify due to a lack of certain genetic characteristics - has been becoming more of a co…

NJ Resumes COVID Early Inmate Release Program
As many as 1,200 New Jersey prison inmates and at least 10 sex offenders could be freed during another round of early pandemic releases, state corrections sources say. No public notice was given by Gov. Phil Murphy’s office of the latest releases, which corrections officials said resumed Thursday with 260 inmates freed. These come at a time when “violent crime me in some of our cities has gotten so bad” that “many urban mayors who supported bail reform are demanding a new law that would keep dangerous criminals in jail until trial,” state Sen. Anthony M. Bucco (R-25) said. An estimated 40%…
