Wednesday Warriors Food Tour Crew will launch in early 2021 and is defined as “lots of guys” traveling to “support little guys and try all kinds of food.” Started by four of his pals who like to roam New Jersey and surrounding areas (from Philadelphia to Connecticut) every Wednesday, they sample specialty dishes and pizza.
