Dave Mascera: Interviewer Extraordinaire

So I finally got my interview done. I interviewed a friend of mine from New Jersey who happened to attend the same high school that I did.

His name is Will.

I asked Will several questions having to do with how regularly he consumed Taylor Ham while in NJ, and comparatively how often he eats it while in Virginia. Will ate Taylor Ham at least once a week in New Jersey, preferably on the weekends with a side of coffee. He spends his summers in a lake house in Pennsylvania and was even able to access Taylor Ham there. He claimed that the delicious meat was in fact a part of his life at one point, and like me, was astonished when he first arrived that no one's taste buds had been enlightened. Obviously, due to inaccessibility, Will has not consumed Taylor Ham since moving to Virginia. I finally asked him what he would do to bring the New Jersey delicacy down here. He responded that he definitely wouldn't have a problem paying more than the usual price for the meat and that he had even been considering using an online service for the meat to have it delivered.

It's obviously because we have better stuff down here. It's called Virginia Ham. There are large quantities made in Smithfield, a short hour drive from my home in Chesapeake.
