Murder on the Munchmobile? Is that anything like Murder on the Orient Express? Well, no not really, but it is definitely tastier!
If you aren't from New Jersey, you probably do not have any idea what in the world a Munchmobile is. The Munchmobile was the brainchild of Star Ledger reporter and author, Pete Genovese. Genovese commissions fellow foodies to accompany him on various jaunts in a van with a humongous hot dog on the roof throughout the Garden State in search of the best foods New Jersey has to offer.
It has become a summer phenomenon and this year will be its Sweet Sixteen. The Munchmobile has scoured the state in search of the tastiest pizza, cakes and well, you name it and they've eaten it or would like to sample it.
This year 500 applicants campaigned for the chance to ride along on one of the delicious excursions and yours truly was one of the chosen!
As a mystery writer, the plot lines are many. I mean what is better than putting together five strangers in a van with a hot dog on top and eating foods from all over New Jersey in one day. It really is better than fiction!
I don't know yet what trip I will be going out on, but I am hoping it will have something to do with cookies or maybe Italian food. Either way, I am really looking forward to blogging about my experiences as well as doing research for a Munchmobile mystery. So stay tuned for some tasty blog posts!
