Our food stand is not your ordinary swim club snackbar. Sorry, no chicken nuggets here...
From our opening day of the Johnny Meatballs-Frankie Antipasto Food Stand at the Hasbrouck Heights Swim Club at the start of summer 2013, we haven’t tried to be “different,” we have just been ourselves—which, in the context of operating a food concession at a swim club immediately made us different. Sure, we have items on our menu like nacho chips and hot dogs (which, by the way are the best of the best - Sabretts), but we have been very careful to stay true to what we do—and that’s serving the best old-school Italian-American food made like you would make it in your home!
While the majority of poolside fare falls into the category of chicken nuggets and French fries, we’ve not done any such foods and don’t plan to. We were hired for what we do—our signature specialties of meatballs and antipasto. We use quality ingredients, get our coldcuts and meats not from a grocery store but from a Italian butcher and not just turkey and ham but soppressata and mortadella with pistachios to name a few. We have the freshest fruit from farmers markets, our bread is picked up fresh each day from the bakery, we do coffee drinks better than those chain stores, carry the best cookies and fresh popped kettle corn, we’ve sold sfogliatelle and cannolis…we have our own basil plants on premises we pick and use the leaves in our tomato sauce…our weekly specials have included chicken parmigiano and sausage and peppers, hand-made miniature pizza pies—not those frozen ones…plus of course Italian ice, nope not from any supermarket but from a pastry shop—what other pool has this kind of stuff????
I’m not trying to brag I just want to convey the message that we go the extra mile because that’s what we’re all about. And if you haven’t visited us yet, come on down. A recent special was pulled pork sandwiches and corn on the cob from the farm. We're planning a big BBQ for the Labor Day season send-off. Again I ask, what other swim club in the area has these offerings???
