Have you ever had a gluten free pastry? Or done a juice cleanse? Well if you head to TasteBuddy and Short Hills, you can try them! Angie Segura & Alexa Clark opened up TasteBuddy in 2021 and have brought their new approach to food to their community!
Segment 1
Angie & Alexa began working 6 years prior to starting TasteBuddy at a restaurant, went their separate ways, but also knew they would someday work together again. Using their knowledge both in the front and back of the house, they decided to open up in Short Hills and provide a unique approach to food.
Today in New Jersey Histroy: On January 31, 1914 Hugh Joseph Addonizio, the 33rd Mayor of Newark and former US Congressman was born. After leaving office, he was prosecuted for taking kickbacks and convicted of corruption.
Segment 2
Finding ingredients and making sure that not only they are the highest quality, but they also need to make sure those ingredients are not contaminated by other products in facilities. We discuss different types of flours, how they create their different products, while making sure they are delicious!
New Jersey Fun Fact: New Jersey's state flower is the violet.Segment 3
Despite being a new business, TasteBuddy has developed a great relationship with the community. As this particular area of Short Hills continues to develop, community members have been trying to support the different businesses to strengthen the downtown area. As they continue to solidify themselves in the community, Angie & Alexa are both working to make sure to give back to the same community that has supported them through that process.

Greetings From the Garden State - New Jersey's Podcast

Send us a text

Hey there, Mike Ham here host of the Greetings From the Garden State podcast. You know, New Jerseyan Anthony Bourdain once said "To know New Jersey is to love her." and I could not agree more. The Garden State has it all, a diverse culture, amazing food, pristine beaches, rolling farmland, and big cities. What truly makes it great though, are its people. If you’re from here, you get it.
Each week we highlight the people who make up the fabric of our New Jersey communities who run small businesses, restaurants, non-profits, and others who simply love New Jersey and all it has to offer! While we obviously discuss what they do, we also learn why they do it.
With new episodes dropping every Monday, buckle in with me as I travel around New Jersey highlighting the next store you should shop in, restaurant you should eat at, or place you should visit. Who knows, maybe the next stop will be a someplace right in your backyard! To learn more head to greetingsfromthegardenstate.com or search Greetings From the Garden State wherever you get your podcasts!

The Lift You Need

Send us a text

First off, ladies, do you find yourself sometimes struggling to find the right fit? That can certainly be frustrating. Second, guys even if we wanted to buy something special for the woman in our lives, let's be real, we wouldn't even know where to get started. Have no fear though because Christine Dutcher at Sitting Pretty Intimates in Livingston is here to help!
Segment 1
Christine discusses her background spending 30 years in the lingerie and intimate apparel business. Opening Sitting Pretty's doors in late 2021, Christine and her team offer intimate apparel, sleep wear, swimwear, and more! She is always looking for the best brands to offer to her clients. They also offer custom bra fittings to make sure whatever you choose will be the lift you need!
Today in New Jersey History: On February 7, 1735 Aaron Hankinson was born in Matawan, New Jersey. He was a military officer in the Sussex County Militia and later served in the New Jersey General Assembly from 1782 to 1786 and then again from 1788 to 1792. Hankinson would pass away on October 9, 1806 in Stillwater Township, New Jersey.Segment 2
We discuss the process of how Christine helps her clients make sure they're getting the best fit possible. Making sure they provide the highest customer service is imperative in this business since it is such an intimate experience and purchase. Coming into a specialty store is such a different experience than buying these items at a "big box" store. We also don't leave out the men in this segment because Christine is passionate about making sure we can be educated and make the best purchase for our ladies!
New Jersey Fun Fact: The first Miss America pageant was held on the boardwalk in Atlantic City in 1921.Segment 3
When Sitting Pretty opened its doors, it was important to make sure they held events for both women and men to educate them on what they can offer. Also being a part of the community and helping support local businesses and running pop-up shops around Livingston has also been an important community initiative for Sitting Pretty! It's time to go in and get fitted!
