In these tough economic times it has become more challenging to eat out and stay within your budget. As a small business owner, I understand the need to cut back. I take great pride in being able to provide good food without cutting back on quality at a price everyone can afford.

58 DAYS TILL THE ELECTION…

If you’ve eaten on the patio this summer, you’ve probably noticed this scooter sitting there. 🛴

It became my commuter vehicle this year.

In life, in business, and in government, dollars in vs. dollars out can sometimes be hard to understand—or even comprehend.

When I shut the business down for 10 months, I had to reevaluate where my money was going and figure out what I could do differently.

That’s where the scooter comes in.

My truck definitely doesn’t get the best gas mileage. I used to fill it up about once a week.

Now I commute to the Joint on the scooter four days a week, and depending on what I have going on Monday through Wednesday, I’m filling my truck every two to three weeks instead.

It seems like a little thing, but little changes add up.

And that brings me back to politics.

Millions of dollars are being raised and spent in this congressional race. That’s public record.

I’m not telling anyone who to vote for. I’m asking the same question I had to ask myself:

Can some of the money going out be used differently to make a bigger impact right here in our community?

Sometimes you don’t need more money coming in. Sometimes you need to take a harder look at where the money is going.

I had to do it with my business.

So hey Congressman Brian FitzpatrickB and bobharvie_pa… who’s stepping up first?

Who’s willing to look at the campaign dollars going out and ask how some of that money could do more good right here in the community you’re asking to represent?

58 days. More community. Less waste.

Saturday Morning at Jay’s Joint

I’d be lying if I said there aren’t days I want out of this business.

I never expected to still be standing in the kitchen all these years later, slinging cheesesteaks myself. I truly believed I had created something unique enough that someday someone with deeper pockets would see what we built here, take it to the next level, and bring it to people all over the country.

And I still believe that.

But one of the things that keeps me going is our gluten-free community.

Seeing someone come in who normally has to settle for “good enough” gluten-free food and watching them get a gluten-free pretzel roll cheesesteak like this reminds me why we built two separate kitchens and why we’ve kept doing things differently.

So for now, I’m still here. 😂

Slinging steaks Thursday–Sunday, 11–8, serving your favorite gluten-free AND gluten-full creations.

59 Days until the election. These Words Have Followed Me for Almost 30 Years

Almost 30 years ago, I bought a sign with these words on it for my college dorm:

Risk more than others think is safe.
Care more than others think is wise.
Dream more than others think is practical.
Expect more than others think is possible.

I had no idea back then how much those words would end up describing the way I try to live my life.

About 10 years ago, I even had them tattooed on me.

And now, with 59 days until the election, they seem to mean more than ever.

Being this vocal probably isn’t the safest thing for my business. I’ve lost followers. I’ve lost customers. Get backlashes. Staying quiet would certainly be easier.

But then I get to the second line: CARE more than others think is wise.

For the last 12 years, I’ve put more money into feeding people through our food-bank work than I’ve put into my own retirement or savings. Not because it was the smartest financial decision, but because I believed it was the right thing to do.

That’s also why I’ve been so persistent about our local political campaigns. bobharvie_pa Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick

I don’t dream about one party beating the other. I dream about a day when elections aren’t determined by who can raise and spend the most money convincing us the other person is worse.

I dream about some of that money feeding families instead.

Maybe that’s impractical.

Maybe expecting politicians to put community ahead of campaigns seems impossible.

But I’ve been looking at these words for almost 30 years.

So why would I stop believing them now?

60 DAYS TILL THE ELECTION 🇺🇸

I’m far from a superhero, but this picture still makes me smile.

About 8 or 9 years ago, this kid created “Super Jay” — a comic-book character whose mission was to stop world hunger. He even made a second comic, so apparently it became a two-part series. 😂

Today he’s in college, and I’m still trying to live up to the mission he gave me.

Between Venmos and another check dropped off today, we’re closing in on an EXTRA $1,000 for this month’s food bank donation. That’s because of YOU.

Now I’m hoping it inspires Bob Harvie to challenge Brian Fitzpatrick:

Skip the last 6 weeks of mudslinging and put some of that campaign money toward feeding people instead.

I’m not asking anyone to vote for either one. I’m asking both of them to show what putting the community first actually looks like.

Want to help us add even more chicken to the pantries of Lower Bucks County?

💸 Venmo:
Put “Food Bank” in the note.

Maybe Super Jay can’t stop world hunger, but together we can make a difference in Lower Bucks.

I’ve Lost Followers. I’ve Probably Lost Customers. This Makes It Worth It.

61 days until the election.

15 days ago, I decided to stop asking privately and start calling Brian Fitzpatrick and Bob Harvie out publicly.

I’ve been trying privately since May, and it wasn’t getting anywhere. Meanwhile, the mailers keep showing up, the commercials keep running, and the billboards keep multiplying.

Every election cycle, watching the amount of money burned on politics and government makes me sick to my stomach—especially when people right here in our community are struggling.

And yes, I know speaking up has cost me.

I’ve lost followers, and I’ve probably lost customers. As a business owner, I knew that was a risk when I decided to use my biggest platform to speak up.

But then something like this happens.

This note and check showed up at Jay’s Joint from someone who simply wanted to help our food bank program. Add that to the Venmo donations, checks and cash, and we’re now at $687 donated toward this month’s food bank.

With what Jay’s Joint normally contributes, we should be able to make DOUBLE our normal donation this month.

And that makes losing some followers or customers worth it to me.

Because this was never about getting everyone to agree with me politically. I don’t expect that. It’s about doing what I believe is the right thing.

Imagine if even a fraction of the money being spent telling us why one politician is better—or why the other one is worse—was put directly back into the communities they’re asking to represent.

I still haven’t gotten Brian and Bob to make that move.

But $687 from regular people wanting to help their neighbors tells me somebody is listening.

If using my voice costs me a few followers or customers but helps put more food into the hands of people who need it, I can live with that.

To me, that means speaking up was worth it.

Now let’s see how much chicken we can turn $687 into on September 14th.

More chicken. Less mud.

61 DAYS TILL THE ELECTION

This picture hangs on my wall for a reason.

“Corporate stakes to cheesesteaks.”

That article was written about me when I was 27. Almost 20 years later, apparently I still haven’t learned how to play the game.

I’ve always been an outsider.

I wasn’t built for corporate America. I wasn’t built for government bureaucracy. And I sure as hell wasn’t built for politics.

I’ve never been good at kissing ass, saying what people want to hear, or keeping my mouth shut because that’s what you’re “supposed” to do.

Maybe that’s why, with 61 days until the election, I’m still pushing this even though I’m starting to believe it may never go anywhere.

The last couple days have also put things into perspective. Miss Gravy has had more seizures, and sitting here with her reminds me how quickly life can change and what actually matters.

People. Family. Community.

I know these posts could cost me customers. Some people think a sandwich shop owner should shut up, make cheesesteaks and stay out of politics.

I see it differently.

I believe I have a greater chance of losing the business I spent 20 years building by staying silent about the world we’re creating than I do by using my voice.

I’m not part of the political machine. I’m an outsider looking in. I’m a guy who makes cheesesteaks and gets people together every month to portion chicken for local food banks.

Maybe being an outsider is exactly why this seems so simple.

So Brian and Bob, stop the mudslinging and start the community outreach.

Take some of the money sitting in your political campaign war chests and put it to work in the communities you’re fighting to represent.

Feed people. Help food banks. Help local organizations doing the work.

Hell, do it together.

I don’t care who gets the credit or what letter is next to your name.

Want to show us who deserves to represent the people?

Show us. Don’t sell us.

Maybe this outsider sees something the political system has forgotten:

Public service should be about serving the public.

61 days. I’m still here.

Less mud. More good.

62 DAYS TILL THE ELECTION…

Today looks a little different.

Gravy and I are sitting here watching the bird feeder, waiting for her next round of pills—pills that lately don’t seem to be doing their job.

Her seizures are becoming more frequent, and as much as I hate admitting it, I know my time with her is eventually going to end. I don’t know if that means weeks, months or hopefully years.

When you’re giving your dog 6 or 7 pills twice a day and still watching the seizures get closer together, you start questioning whether the system is actually working.

And sitting here watching this beautiful female cardinal got me thinking about another system I’ve questioned for 35 years—our government.

I don’t think it suddenly became broken. I think it’s always been broken. The faces change. Parties trade power. Promises change. But the money, influence and political games remain.

Maybe my posts have confused people into thinking I support because I keep calling out Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick

I don’t support Bob. I don’t support Brian. I support my community.

I’ve focused on Brian because this was his idea in 2018.

But maybe it’s time for Bob to call him out.

Bob, challenge Brian: You proposed it. You lead.

Then take the same moral stand yourself.

Bob doesn’t have to match Brian dollar-for-dollar. Just stop spending. Both of you hold what you need to finish the campaign, and after the election, donate what remains to organizations helping the people you want to represent.

One campaign might have $10 left and another $1 million.

The dollar amount isn’t the moral statement. The decision is.

Someone has to go first.

Not because they’re Republican or Democrat.

Because it’s the right thing to do.

Keeping my mouth shut would probably be easier as a business owner. But I’m going to keep speaking from a moral standard, not a political standard.

All I know is I’m here to help people in this world.

For now, I’m sitting beside Gravy, watching the birds, waiting for pill time and appreciating another day with her.

62 days till the election. I’m still here.

63 DAYS UNTIL THE ELECTION, BRIAN…

Mondays are cleaning days around here. While Dr. D tackled his fryers, I took care of the ice cream machines. 🍦 Once that was done, I moved right into preparing chicken thighs for tomorrow’s Shared Meal. 🍗

Did you know Advocates for the Homeless works with churches throughout Bucks County to provide a hot meal every day? They even help transport people from homeless encampments to the meals.

And these meals aren’t only for the homeless—they’re open to anyone who needs a hot meal.

If you or someone you know needs help, Advocates for the Homeless can provide the current Shared Meal schedule, locations and transportation information.

I’ve been working with Redeemer Lutheran Church in Penndel since around 2008/09, providing protein for their Shared Meal. It started monthly because they typically served pasta. Then we went to every other month. Once our monthly Food Bank Day got rolling, I cut it back to about 4 times a year—unless they convince me to cook something that was donated. 😂

And Brian, funny enough…

A Shared Meal is actually the last place I remember running into you. Not last fall, but the fall before.

Today I’m trying to get ahead because tomorrow I’m visiting my aunt for the first time since she moved into a facility.

Chicken thighs are getting prepped, and I’ve still got 50 lbs of potatoes to roast. 🥔😂

This is why I keep talking about campaign money and food banks. I see firsthand what churches, pantries and volunteers can accomplish with relatively small amounts of money—and how far a dollar goes when the goal is simply feeding people.

So, 63 days, Brian.

I’m still asking you to do what you asked your opponent to do in 2018: stop the unnecessary campaign spending and put that money back into our community.

You already know programs like this exist.

We literally ran into each other at one.

Red, blue or somewhere in the middle—hungry is hungry.

More chicken. More hot meals. Less mud.

How about a little politics and religion for Day 64?

This year, our September 14 Food Bank Day falls between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur—during the Jewish Days of Awe.

According to Jewish tradition, this is when the Book of Life is opened. It’s a time to reflect on the past year, make things right and decide what kind of person you want to be moving forward. The Book of Life is then sealed on Yom Kippur.

I may not be the most religious Jew in the world, but the timing isn’t lost on me.

On September 14, volunteers will gather on our patio to portion more than 1,200 pounds of chicken for three local food pantries. Bob Harvie has agreed to join us—but please don’t confuse that with an endorsement.

I am not supporting Bob Harvie. I started writing myself in for Congress back in 2018, and I plan to do it again this year.

My request is simple: Brian, do what you asked Scott Wallace to do in 2018. Stop spending the campaign money, hold what is needed through Election Day and donate what remains to local nonprofits and food pantries.

If Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick agrees to the same deal he proposed in 2018, I am absolutely asking Bob Harvie to join him and do the same.

This isn’t about helping either candidate win. It’s about asking both candidates to put their money where their mouths are and help the community they are competing to represent.

The Book of Life may be above my pay grade, but history is written by what we choose to do when we’re given the opportunity.

64 days until Election Day. I’m still here—and I’m not going anywhere.

Well, I wrote this post this morning and never actually posted it. 😂 Better late than never!

Here’s the patio around 8 this morning. It was a cooler morning, and it definitely felt like fall was starting to creep in.

The good news is that last year I installed retractable walls around our covered patio. Whether it’s one of those wild, sideways summer rainstorms or the cooler fall weather settling in, we can put the walls down so you can still stay comfortable and enjoy dining on our covered, kinda-enclosed patio.

It’s our last day of the week, and we’re here serving up pretzel roll cheesesteaks and all your Jay’s Joint favorites until 8 tonight!

65 days until Election Day—and I’m not going anywhere, Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick

Not everyone thinks I should talk politics as a business owner. I understand the risk. My strong personality and honesty aren’t everyone’s cup of tea—but speaking up just brought back a customer I lost more than ten years ago.

He admitted that when he met me at my old shop, he thought I was a jerk. He never returned and even told others not to eat there. After seeing my posts and learning about our community work, he reached out to say he now sees me differently. He’s even looking forward to volunteering with us on September 14.

That means more to me than any like or follow.

I own my flaws. I’m not good at pretending, playing political games, or sugarcoating things. I’m honest to a fault, passionate as hell, and—being a Taurus—stubborn enough to keep pushing for something I believe in.

We joke at work that if I keep poking the bear, Brian might use his old FBI connections to frame me for something. 😂 For the record, that is absolutely a joke—not an accusation.

Brian, I’m asking you to do what you asked your opponent to do in 2018: put campaign money to work helping local nonprofits instead of spending it on political advertising and mudslinging.

I would genuinely love to hear back from you—even if it takes a Fox News announcement to get an answer.

Some people may unfollow me or stop eating here because I’m speaking out. But if it brings someone back, inspires a volunteer, or helps feed our neighbors, it’s worth the risk.

I’m passionate, stubborn, and not going anywhere.

More chicken. Less mud.

66 DAYS UNTIL ELECTION DAY

My food posts don’t seem to get nearly as many likes or comments as my political posts, so I figured I would explain the logic behind what I’m trying to accomplish.

Our next Food Bank Day is a little over two weeks away. Because the first Monday in September is Labor Day, we pushed it back one week to Monday, September 14th.

Today, one of the pantries called to ask whether I was coming next week since it’s the beginning of the month. That call reminded me exactly why I continue speaking up: there is a real need in our community right now.

Since May, I have reached out to both Brian Fitzpatrick and Bob Harvie about joining me to discuss how campaign money could help our local food pantries. I must say, it wasn’t until I started posting about this regularly—and bringing up Brian’s own challenge from 2018—that I finally heard back from their campaigns.

In 2018, Brian called on his opponent to cap campaign spending and donate the remaining proceeds to local charities. Back then, Brian was the candidate without the giant campaign war chest. Now the tables have turned, he’s the man with the money—and I can’t help but wonder why it feels like he lost my number again.

I’m not asking either candidate to stop campaigning. Cover your reasonable election expenses, cap the wasteful spending and donate the remaining campaign money to our local food pantries.

I’ve seen the attack ads claiming Brian secured money for the pantries and Bob lost it. I honestly don’t pay much attention to the political mudslinging from either side. All I know is that if there is enough money to flood our mailboxes, televisions and social media with negative advertising, there is money available to help feed our neighbors.

This isn’t about supporting Brian or Bob. It’s about asking both candidates to walk the walk and show our community that helping people matters more than winning an election.

We have people who need food. We have pantries asking for help. Now it’s time for the people running to represent our community to step up and help provide it.

Less mud. More food.
