Pickled eggs are a special treat, but a Joe’s they’re an epic adventure. They’re salty, spicy… firm but not too firm. They’re served over some pretzel sticks which … makes sense after you’ve tried it.
An Ode to Joe’s Pickled Eggs
Since 1924, they’ve brined to fame,
In Long Beach bars, they earned their name.
The eggs are steeped in history’s bowl,
A recipe that warms the soul.
With cold beer served, they take the stage,
A taste that’s stood through every age.
Sailors, workers, friends all boast,
These pickled eggs are loved the most.
A jar on the counter, timeless and bright,
At Joe Jost’s bar, they shine in light.
With vinegar’s bite and spice’s glow,
A Long Beach treasure, all locals know.
In every bite, a story’s told,
Of pickled eggs and days of old.
A tradition kept, a legend grows,
At Joe Jost’s, where the flavor flows..
One Last Thing…
