When my buddy told me he was managing a new food store in Hoboken specializing in “Comfort Food” I had to scope it out personally.  So I took a drive out to HOB where this comfort spot sits on Park ave and 6th street being a elegant corner spot with the feel of European Cafe.

As I walked into the store I was greeted with smiling faces popping up behind the counter asking to help me get some of their delicious food surrounding me in every direction into my belly.  Meats and cheeses lined every corner of this extremely clean and new high class deli.  The huge chalk board menu was filled to the brim with insane concoctions that not only made my mouth water but my head spin.  Stomach grumbling to fill it’s lunch needs I decided to chat up the chef who had just finished a fresh batch of mozzarella.  He cut me a piece stuck a fork in it and said “you gotta try this” the almost smoked warm cheese liquefied into mouth bliss.  I am not new to fresh mozzarella, a regular at many of the best delis in NYC, New Jersey just got a place the Sopranos would hang outside of just to get a taste.

I noticed on the chalk board outside a special that caught my eye.  It is called The Bat Out Of Hell, a meatloaf sandwich with fresh mozzarella and thick and juicy gravy on 12 inch roll from the local bakery.

The second I was handed my sandwich I made a b line to the lovely outside seating, and parked under an umbrella, ripped the wrapper off only for the smell hit me like a ton of bricks.  I quickly took 2 huge bites into one half of this gravy monster only to realize I had not taken a photograph of the glory just yet.  I had to go inside to get more napkins just to use my camera.  Here is what I got mid meat gorge. This is about 47% of what was left before I took a breath.

I think I will become a regular at this gem now opening another location in Jersey City within a year of opening.  If that isn’t a testament of this place not sure what is.  My next visit will be either to tackle their marquee sandwich the Park & Sixth which is Brisket mozz and gravy or a philly Cheese steak.  I would  drink that gravy as a beverage if my heart let me.  Cold cuts be calling me in the worst way fresh peppers screaming my name after one look at the prep and love that goes into each sandwich.

This place gets an extra star for making me pass out after lunch 6 out of 5 for Park and Sixth.  I will be back and I will be fat, comfort to all and to all a great lunch.
