They're trying to take the Linwood Inn, a family restaurant/bar that has been here since the 1882. It's owned by a couple, and the place has served many a Linden family, and people from all over NJ travel to try it's burger which was voted the best in NJ.
Yosh's Linwood Inn, Linden
Your neighborhood bar is usually a reliable place for a good burger; if the kitchen can't make a burger, what good is it?
Yosh's Linwood Inn is a cheery, NASCAR flag-festooned hangout. The menu includes clams, crab cakes, fish and chips, shrimp Alfredo and zuppa de pesce, among other items. But true to our mission, we all ordered the same thing, and here, at this lively neighborhood bar, we found the day's best burger: plump, juicy, char-grilled to near perfection.
"The best burgers in town," Ted McBride of Woodbridge had e-mailed us.
They're better than that. The White Manna will always have a place in our Munch hearts, minds and stomachs, but the Linwood Inn did your big fat all-American burger best.
Our first mission of Munch 2006 was over. The Munchmobile -- call it a salty, but satisfied, Dog -- rumbled toward Route 1 and home.
The owners have been battling ever since they found out their little restaurant/sports bar would be the victim of eminent domain. They had a petition going which received many signatures, submitted it, but everything has seemed to stalled as of late.
What can we (specifically me) do? I am a member of the Castle Coalition - the owners have already contacted them though. We had a petition going, and nothing seem to came from it. Who can I/we contact?
I was going to order them posters from the Castle Coalition.
I know they're having 'Eminent Domain' meetings - but is there anything else we can do? I don't want to see this historic landmark in my town be a victim of eminent domain :( I'll write to whoever I have to, drive wherever I have to, and talk to whoever I have to.
