Schöpferische Zerstörung: Creative destruction. Out with the old, in with the new and improved. We usually put a prettier picture at the top of Wanderings each week, but today we're giving you a recent photo of the day the old stage at the Waterloo Village concert field - a stage that hosted many big-name acts over the years, but none for a long, long time - was razed. This weekend, a new stage will be in its place as live music returns to the Waterloo field in Allamuchy, Warren County, with the two-day Bourbon Street Blues Fest. This is just the start of something big! But if you're not feeling the blues, there's plenty more in store in this week's edition, so read on, and Happy Wanderings!

Congratulations to Humpty Junior's for snagging "best burger" honors with their Grass-Fed Burger in NJ.com's survey seeking the best hamburger in each county. "Humpty Junior's is a cool, kitschy roadside hangout," NJ.com wrote. That it is, and the food is great, too. You'll find them on that stretch of Route 46 that is not at all like Route 46 in other parts of the state (come and see for yourself). Congrats also to runners-up Sullivan's On The Main, Phillipsburg, for their Alpine Burger, and Marley's Gotham Grill, Hackettstown, for the Mac Daddy.
