I'm sorry to hear his Tucson place was sold and bulldozed.

His first restaurant was in Trenton NJ. Then he moved from one place in New Brunswick to another across the street. The first location is now a pricey university dorm and I can't recall what happened to the other one. Can't handle seeing New Brunswick now. It used to be a great college town that J&J redeveloped into a sea of parking decks and restaurants that students can't afford.
sigh

This was his initial location in New Brunswick
