You never know who you might run into at one of New Jersey’s cafes or diners. (Jersey has the best music, diners and tomatoes in the world). In Basking Ridge (Somerset County), an innocuous-looking elderly gentleman and his wife sat down for a bite at The Blue Café on South Finley Avenue, a comparatively new establishment serving breakfast and lunch. The elderly gentleman ordered a cappuccino. Patrons overheard him talking to his wife about her trucking business. What the patrons sitting there didn’t know until after he left, was that it was, indeed, Sir Paul McCartney in their midst.
