Oyster Cracker Café at Bayshore Center at Bivalve – Port Norris, NJ

Oyster Cracker Café at Bayshore Center at Bivalve – Port Norris, NJ

SmallBitesRadio has been named #14 out of Top 30 Best Hospitality Shows on the planet for 2020. We are thrilled about the news.

 

The Bayshore Center at Bivalve is a non-profit organization whose mission is to advance the understanding of the human impact on New Jersey’s aquatic environment through education, advocacy, and programming. BCB envisions a New Jersey with clean, safe and healthy water for recreation, consumption and commercial fishing and operates the authentically restored 1928 oyster schooner A.J. MEERWALD, New Jersey’s official Tall Ship, as a hands-on sailing classroom throughout the region. It also operates the Delaware Bay Museum and offers shore-based programs at its campus and schooner’s home port of Bivalve on the scenic Maurice River in Cumberland County.


The best part of all is that restaurant Oyster Cracker Café is onsite to enjoy all the things mentioned above and enjoy a nice waterfront meal. I had the oyster chowder, fried oysters, homemade chips, corn and black bean salsa, and peach pie made with local peaches. Everything was delicious and recommend a visit. Just be aware that the are only open until the end of September as it is seasonal.

Sundaes Homemade Ice-Cream, Water-Ice & Soft-Serve – West Berlin, NJ

#SmallBitesRadio has been named #14 out of Top 30 Best Hospitality Shows on the planet for 2020. We are thrilled about the news.

Sundaes Homemade Ice-Cream, Water-Ice & Soft-Serve of West Berlin, New Jersey.  Since 1994 they have been “small batching” over 50 flavors early March to late October. I know when they opened in 1994 some people may have questioned the crazy drive thru setup they have and how odd it seems with its zigging and zagging to get to the window to order, but fast forward to #Corona2020 and now it’s brilliant. Had the Thunder Road: Chocolate ice cream paved with marshmallow sauce, cookie pieces and chocolate chips and a large Supreme Vanilla Bean. Both were a yummy treat.

Charlies Hamburgers – Folsom, PA

Charlies has been around since 1935 so they must be doing something right. Well they are in fact doing something awesome. Amazing burgers and fries that is. I had a cheeseburger, a Peg Special (Double Cheeseburger, with fried onions and bacon), and an order of large fries. Really can’t say enough good things about my meal here. If you’re in the area, you are doing yourself a disservice by not stopping by. Just be sure to order a few burgers as they are tiny, but well worth it. Enjoy and thank me later.

Joe’s Farm Market at Joe’s Garden Center – Galloway, NJ

Joe’s Farm Market at Joe’s Garden Center – Galloway, NJ

#SmallBitesRadio has been named #14 out of Top 30 Best Hospitality Shows on the planet for 2020. We are thrilled about the news.

The convenience of using the Atlantic City Express or the Garden State Parkway has made the journey to the Jersey Shore much easier for many. What those paths can’t replicate or replace though are the many Jersey Fresh farm markets and businesses along the way you are missing out on and unable to visit if you took alternate routes instead of the highways.

One such gem is Joe’s Farm Market at Joe’s Garden Center in Galloway, New Jersey. The first thing you should get, but not pictured was their out of this world delicious White Sweet Jersey Corn at a great price. The next treat was their homemade Peach Pie that Joe’s mother (Anita) and sister bake themselves. This pie is hands down better than the majority of peach pies I’ve had from high end bakeries. It was really good. Even if you want to take the highway, you should put this place as a pitstop along your way.

Macaron’s are the name of the game here, but they also offer breads and other sweet treats. Had the pistachio macaron that couldn’t wait to eat before photo time, blueberry cupcake that the blueberries in the cupcake were so delicious and icing was nice as well, and a chocolate croissant that seemed like it had a chocolate bar in the middle of it with so much chocolate oozing out while eating it. They offer nice outdoor tables with music playing to be able to enjoy your snack.

Cilento Sandwich Company & Valente’s Italian Specialties – Haddonfield, NJ

Cilento Sandwich Company & Valente’s Italian Specialties – Haddonfield, NJ

Fyi – This place now has a new concept called Valente’s Cucina BYOB so the below is now longer valid, but they may keep many aspects of the past.

Sitting inside of Valente’s Italian Specialties the business Cilento Sandwich Company runs out of the same space. You order online from Valente’s Italian Specialties website, choose either pick-up or delivery and the time. The experience is seamless, service was very friendly, and portions are generous with reasonable prices.  I had the Traditional cheesesteak made of thin-sliced fresh beef and cheese served on half of a Sarcone’s long loaf and the Corrado sandwich which is chicken cutlet, fresh mozzarella, house-roasted peppers, extra virgin olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. Able to order from Valente’s Italian Specialties on the same order I decided to give them a try and had their anise pizzelles and the ricotta cannoli cream.

Sitting in a large strip mall, you can find Tu Sei Bella. They focus heavily on pizza, but they have a large menu of the Italian favorites. I went with their chicken cutlet sandwich with provolone, and spinach with a side of old bay fries with cheese.

Oath Pizza – Fashion District – Philadelphia, PA

Oath Pizza – Fashion District – Philadelphia, PA

The former mall The Gallery has been transformed into The Fashion District. They have a few food options to choose from and Oath Pizza is one of them. I gave them a try and had their Porky Fig Pizza – Mozzarella, Creme de Brie, Applegate Smoked Bacon, Black Mission Figs, Balsamic Drizzle, and fresh Basil. The service was quick and friendly, pizza was decent enough, and price was reasonable. I’ll be interested to see how The Fashion District finally pans out in the long term and if more dining and shopping destinations open up.

Alex’s Bakery & Food Store – Woodlynne, NJ

Alex’s Bakery & Food Store – Woodlynne, NJ

If you blink you’ll miss Alex’s Bakery and Food Store. The parking lot is very tiny and once inside everything is mostly in Spanish, but the service really shines with friendly and helpful employees ready to help you. They are part bakery, part convenience store, and part restaurant. The prices are very reasonable no matter what part of the business you are shopping. I went with two Tres Leches cakes for a birthday party to try a little something out of the ordinary. One was vanilla and the other was chocolate. I really enjoyed the vanilla version and if you’re looking for Spanish/Latin styled food, treats, or sweets you should put them on your radar.

What a great spot here. I had the Chicken cutlet with roasted red peppers and sharp provolone and an order of gravy fries. Everything was fresh, and service was friendly.
