Countdown to the Munchmobile

Well, tomorrow I will be heading out on The Star Ledger's famed Munchmobile to sample Chinese food in the Garden State. It is the popular summertime feature's sweet sixteen and I am looking forward to the unique experience.

However, I am not the foodie in the family. That honor belongs to my husband who would love to have my seat on the big dog. For those of you not familiar with the Munchmobile, it is a van with a large hot dog attached to the top which travels around New Jersey in search of the tastiest foods. Over the years, it has become a summertime staple for many folks.

I'm not a big eater so I am a little nervous about sampling a lot of foods, but while I won't win any Chinese food eating contests, I will try my best especially since my children hate Chinese food and I never get to eat it.

My interest is primarily one as a writer as well as a fan. Not only do I really enjoy the column, but as a mystery author I love the potential plot lines which is how I got a seat on the Munchmobile in the first place, beating out quite a few applicants.

As I set off for my Chinese food extravaganza tomorrow, I will have my notebook in hand, ready to jot down notes on my experience and hopefully find the time to chat with the Munchmobile's brainchild, Peter Genovese who is also the author of 12 books.
