Together With
Good morning Monmouth County! This is it. The lead-up to Halloween is over. Saturday is the internationally recognized start of “eating your kids candy season.” And remember, every piece you eat is one you’re saving their little growing bodies from. So really it’s love theft. Plus, the faster you eat your kids’ candy the faster the temptation to eat your kids candy is gone.
Does it sound like the person writing this has a problem?
Let’s go!

🎸 Surprise Pony Appearance By The Boss
Despite being in the middle of promoting his recently released biopic, Bruce Springsteen made a surprise appearance at The Stone Pony on Sunday. The impromptu performance was part of "Little Steven’s Birthday Party at the Pony," a benefit concert hosted by E Street Band guitarist Steven Van Zandt. The event raised money for TeachRock, an educational initiative focused on bringing music into school classrooms.
Springsteen joined Van Zandt's house band, Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul, to perform three classic songs: Eddie Floyd’s “Raise Your Hand,” “I Don’t Want to Go Home” (originally by Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes), and his own “Tenth Avenue Freeze-out.”

🍔 FOOD & 🍹 DRINK
🐔 Viral Chicken Caesar Wrap at Broadway Hot & Honey Chicken
We’ve been big fans of Broadway Hot & Honey Chicken since their first location opened in Wall last year. And to be honest, their chicken is so cluckin’ good we’ve barely touched their menu beyond the nuggets and tendies. But their allegedly insane chicken caesar wrap went viral recently after capturing the attention of some TikTok foodfluencers so naturally we had to see for ourselves.
The wrap itself is monstrous. Plus, you can customize the crunchy fried chicken in it just like you would any other order of their chicken. We opted for some heat. And it’s that chicken inside that really hits it out of the park. Not trying to go all hyperbolic on you guys, but this wrap is going to ruin all other chicken caesar wraps for you. Sorry. First world problems.
