It's not 24/7 --- I was there last night, and it was locked up tight.

It is 24/7 according to Google and Yelp, then again, the internet tends to be unreliable sometimes

Yelp is absolute & unadulterated crap.

I should have reported it to Google though. :-(

Not Tony Baloneys. Unless you want expensive disappointment. Taco Bell doesn’t disappoint.

My friend was just talking about this; Tony Baloneys' have fallen off HARD to the point where it's a no-go now

It was never good, it was pure Instagram bullshit. So whatever it fell to just be god awful.

I wouldn't hate on them that hard. I wanted to hate them so bad, but was genuinely surprised with the quality when they first opened in JC (expensive, but some unique things & great for something different as a treat). When that opening HQ crew left things dropped, and at that price point I don't risk lack of consistency. Anyone I know who has gone recently has declared them straight bad

I tried the Hoboken one at least twice over the years, And the JC one twice within the first several months of opening. All occasions were mediocre at best. A bit undercooked more often than not. Not cheap either. That’s no cheap 2am drunk pie.

But I think most random pizza places in the area could outdo them.

The JC location dropped hare within like 1 month of opening. There are probably a few dudes with the skills to manage the unique pies, and/or the ability to care. And if you want a simple plain or pepperoni slice, there is no point in getting that from Toney Baloney's.

Making it clear to folks, in case it sounds like I'm an apologist: It is NOT a recommend

My go-to is cheap whiskey while reminiscing on my youth

Eh, I'll skip the reminiscing. Cheap bourbon does go well with dark chocolate however, or TJ's dark chocolate peanut butter cups.

You need to plan ahead my dude! Ain't nothing like frozen dumplings to hit the spot late night. 10 minutes in the pot and you're ready to go. I could probably write a book on DIY late night snacks...

I’ve done this.

I’ll make ‘em myself and freeze them. Drop them in frozen to a hot pain with a little oil to brown one side, then some water and a tight lid to steam. Minutes for a delicious late night snack.

This is the way.

We make them too, but it's a whole lot easier just to buy a bag of them at BJ's or 99 Ranch. The Ling Ling instructions are actually the opposite of your method, they call for some water and a little bit of oil to start with so when the water is gone it browns them.

I’ll need to try those at some point.

I kinda like making them. Know exactly what’s in them, and it’s kinda relaxing on a rainy day.

I've had this sort of conversation about 'shortcuts' a lot. Before we were empty nesters we made bread in a breadmaker often, at least once a week. For challah we pull it out before it bakes to braid it and bake in the oven. "Purists" will go on & on about how they love the feel of kneading bread and would never use a breadmaker, but very few of them would make fresh bread every week!

Dumplings are similar, a fun rainy day project, but also great to pull out of the freezer whenever you're feeling the need. Sauce is also critical: soy, vinegar, simple syrup, microplaned garlic & ginger, and sesame oil.
