Bricco Coal Fired Pizza – Westmont, NJ

Bricco Coal Fired Pizza – Westmont, NJ

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

Who doesn’t love pizza? It truly is one of the greatest foods around. Bricco takes pizza and brings it to a whole new level in this town as my meal was delicious. Had a regular margherita cheese pizza and a short rib, pizza with caramelized onions and fontina cheese with arugula garnish. I will definitely return to try more of the menu.

With picnic benches outlining the outdoor area Pocono Organics partnered with Rodale Institute and a USDA Certified Organic Farm has outdoor dining done correctly in this mountain tourist area near NASCAR’s Pocono Raceway. The food is the brainchild of Chef Lindsay McClain a Food Network ‘Chopped” Champion and also worked closely with restaurateurs Marcie Turney and Val Safran during her time in Philadelphia. I had the Crispy Chicken sandwich with pickle brined chicken thigh, bread & butter zucchini pickles, jalapeno slaw, and a side of house made chips and an order of smoked and grilled wings tossed in Padron wing sauce with green goddess dipping sauce, pickled vegetables, and Mobtown Fermentation Wild Kombucha Elderberry.

Below is from Pocono Organics:

Shang Hai 1 – (Chinatown) Philadelphia, PA

Shang Hai 1 – (Chinatown) Philadelphia, PA

This place was such a joy with heavenly Wu Xi soup dumplings with pork and shrimp. These things were down right AWESOME and I could eat my fill of just them. Definitely some of the best soup dumplings around the city. I completed the meal eating beef stew with white rice. The beef was extremely tender and just broke apart and the sauce was delicious. I will be trying more of the menu here whenever I get a chance.

Just a stones throw away from Edwin B Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge sits Tony Beef. Cows may want to see if they can get to the refuge because they are serving one delicious burger here. The menu is really diverse and they offer a little bit of something for everyone with a large variety of meat and even non-meat choices.

I had the single burger on a house roll with white cheddar cheese, special sauce, fried onions, sauteed mushrooms, 5 piece wings with BBQ sauce, a small fry that was phenomenal, and Hubert’s Lemonade. Everything was perfect and I was impressed with the entire meal. If in the area I highly recommend a visit.

Italian Affair – Glassboro, NJ

Italian Affair – Glassboro, NJ

Italian Affair is a large building with a different style in each room. They are putting out the classic dishes with a few twists here and there. I had pasta e fagioli, wild boar ragu, and homemade vanilla gelato. They have a very strong fan base and followers so they are doing something right.  Ever been here? Let me know your thoughts on social media of what you had and your experience.

If you’re craving a pupusas or some El Salvadorian food look no further. This place is top notch. I had the Chicharron Con Queso that was really good, fajita mix with rice, beans, pico de gallo, and tortilla that was amazing, and Jugo de fruta that went down smooth and was fantastic with real pieces of fruit.

Mike’s BBQ – Philadelphia, PA

Mike’s BBQ – Philadelphia, PA

Michael Strauss has been serving his style of BBQ to his friends and family for years. After opening a successful gastropub in South Philly, he started serving samples of his BBQ to his guests, who clamored for more!  With years of practice under his belt, and apprenticeships near and far, he drove to Georgia and picked up a Lang Smoker! The Lang smoker is an old school style “stick smoker”.

Well I can attest that this old school style smoker is putting out some fabulous BBQ. After many years of the Philadelphia area being a barbecue desert, I am happy to see so many choices for good quality BBQ now. The full rack of ribs were cooked beautifully and tasted great dipping them into their homemade sauce and the wings were seasoned nice with every bite being juicy.

Famous Sgt. Bob Smoke Filipino BBQ and Grill – Pennsville, NJ

Famous Sgt. Bob Smoke Filipino BBQ and Grill – Pennsville, NJ

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

Let me start this post by apologizing to Famous Sgt. Bob Smoke Filipino BBQ and Grill for the terrible photo I have posted in regards to the food I had. This photo makes an amazing meal look average. This is one of those times not to believe what you see.

It’s far and few between that a restaurant surprises and impresses me. Let me go on the record and say that Famous Sgt. Bob Smoke Filipino BBQ and Grill in Pennsville, NJ did both. During these trying times it is harder than ever to go above and beyond. They did it seamlessly as they spotted I was a new customer and made sure I had a sample taste of everything they offer and welcomed me warmly. What they are offering is fantastic food, very generous portion sizes, making you feel at home, and doing it all at a reasonable price point.

The menu is varied with bbq, grilled, and Filipino specialties. I had the brisket sandwich, 2 pork kabobs, 2 chicken kabobs, grilled chicken platter with garlic rice, and Filipino chicken adobo with pancit noodles. Absolutely every bite was amazing from everything. This is one of those times when I can’t really say to have one thing over another. They were all great. To top it all off they are just a short drive away from Riverview Beach Park where you can enjoy your meal at a picnic table over looking the Delaware River making it a perfect meal to have on a day with good weather. This place is a gem in South Jersey and anyone who calls themselves a foodie really needs to give this place a try.

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.
