Thinking back to the summer…and these soft shells crabs at the Sitting Duck.

Restaurant Review: Ripper’s Pub (Bethlehem, PA)
Bethlehem is loaded with many fine restaurants. That much is apparent. But as Justin and I walked around town (this being my first-ever visit), nothing spoke to us. We finally found one place that we wanted to try only to realize a few moments later that it was closed. It was a Monday after all….
Restaurant Review: The Sitting Duck (Long Branch, NJ)
Long Branch and, of course, Asbury Park have hopping restaurant scenes. However, both of these areas are as foreign to me as the landscape of Mars. If this blog is going to get to the next level, this can no longer be so. I am making it my mission to become more familiar with other…

A killer turkey club and crunchy fries at Sissy’s in Atlantic Highlands.
Takeout Joints Vol. 5: Italian and Asian
The first installments of this column have been broken down separately into pizza/Italian and Chinese/Asian. Because I’ve slowed down a little bit on the takeout lately, I am going to combine the two for Volume 3. Below we have one of each, and my, how vastly different they were in quality!

A quick and easy vegetarian meal consisting of a grilled Kontos* flatbread topped with hummus and sautéed spinach. Served with a side of oven-fries and a splash or two of hot sauce. Delicious…and dare I say, healthy? *Look for Kontos “Mediterranean Lifestyle” flat bread. They purport it has some of the benefits of Greek yogurt….

Another one from Maggie McFly’s. The best lobster roll I’ve ever had.

“Photo of the Day” is back after a month-long hiatus!I hope you enjoyed the horror movies and ghostly tales over on my other blog, Reel to Real, for the month of October. Anyway, back to food. I’m not a fan of hotel cuisine, and even less a fan of room service. When when time for…

In June, I went to my first Somerset Patriots game in about five years (it’s so much fun—I’ve been to a few since). I used to go to about seven or eight games a year with my dad, but kind of fizzled out for no particular reason. It was great getting back there. Hockey is…

I cannot help but long for Ocean City, Maryland in the middle of this August. With so many restaurants on the strip, it’s Dumser’s Drive-In that comes to mind today. A classic beach-town eatery specializing in burgers, shakes, and fries. Good prices and good eats. Just don’t go there on a diet. March 2017.

It doesn’t get much better than relaxing by the bay with a basket of clam strips and some killer (though minuscule) coleslaw. Why does fried food have to be so enjoyable? Summer is upon us, so scenes like this will thankfully be more frequent. Sissy’s at the Harbor, Atlantic Highlands. August 2016.

Why is this simple BLT being featured today, you may wonder? This was actually my lunch one day at Brookdale College a couple of weeks ago. I usually get salads every day, but on Fridays after a busy camp week, I will sometimes treat myself. This was a decent sandwich—better than I’ve had at some…
