Winter Dill-emma: Bergen County, N.J. Turns to Pickle Juice To Melt Snow
Time ^

If there ever was a sign that we've had more than enough snow this winter, here it is.

Bergen County, New Jersey administrators found themselves in quite a pickle this winter. With their plowing budget quickly running dry, they've come up with a juicy solution.

Bergen County is just across the Hudson from New York – and despite being among the wealthiest counties in the nation, this winter has busted their budget for snow removal. Road salt comes at a hefty premium, and being only halfway through winter, they've invested in a new, and much cheaper, snow melter: pickle juice

Carnegie Deli...

I want to go NOW!!!

I got a pastrami from a Carnegie Deli in Las Vegas a few years back.
The sandwich could have fed a Cambodian family for a month!
I would die for one right now, I am STARVING!

I showed those 2 hotel websites in Kennebunkport to the missus.
she seemed to really like them both.
I have been up and down that area so much in the past 10 winter years that i’m thinking the White Mountains for next weekend.
We decided to save Kennebunkport for the late spring.
Thanks for the info though. :)

I tried their outlet at one of our local casinos...the meat was okay...but the rye bread they used was disappointing. The bread has to be a true Jewish rye. ;(

Actually watched two grown adults share one of these. Believe it was Chili Cheese Pastrami Fries. From The Hat in So Cal. Was just eating a Ham and Swiss sandwich myself. Still smelled that darn Pastrami for hours afterward.

The salty language in New Jersey should be enough to melt the ice!
