“Truly a step back in time. The whole idea of small-town America is perfectly encapsulated in places such as adorable Califon in rural Hunterdon County, New Jersey, which has the unique distinction of being the physical inspiration behind the setting of the 1946 Christmas classic, “It’s a wonderful life”. In the heart of Califon is Rambo’s, a truly vintage general store, delicatessen, and butcher shop. I’m not sure exactly how old it is, probably at least as old as my paternal grandfather, who would be 98 today. I’ve tried their 2 most popular sandwiches, the pastrami on rye with Swiss and the Italian hoagie, both were delicious. I bought some of their hand cut lamb loin chops, they turned out excellent with a jerk spice rub they sell. I’m very much looking forward to trying out their house made Italian sausage I got stored in the freezer. The store staff and managers/owners are very kind and welcoming and I am happy to support an awesome and storied local small business. I’m definitely planning on coming back here on a semi-routinely manner, perhaps even on a biking trip on the nearby Columbia trail in the future.”
