Recently visited Ocean City, MD and let me tell you, this place is packed with dining options for every taste. Whether you’re craving seafood, comfort food, Caribbean flavors, or just a sweet treat, OCMD has it all. 👇

🦀 Ropewalk – Ocean City, MD

Perfect for serious seafood fans. I started with their Maryland Crab Soup — classic and delicious. Then came the Crawfish Steamer, the Deadliest Steampot (featuring snow crab legs), and the Maine Lobster Steamer. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right.

🌊 Harborside Bar & Grill – Ocean City, MD

Home of the original Orange Crush! Where it all started and now the official drink of Maryland! This laid-back waterfront spot was a must-visit. I had the Broiled Seafood Platter, which was a combo of jumbo lump crab cake, flounder, jumbo shrimp, and sea scallops, all served with a baked potato and green beans. A seafood lover’s paradise.

🔥 Northside Pit & Pub – Ocean City, MD


Talk about comfort food done right. The Fried Chicken Platter came with mashed potatoes smothered in gravy and a side of collard greens. The chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy inside, a true southern-style meal that hit the spot.

🏝️ Seacrets – Ocean City, MD


This place is a party any time of day! It’s a massive, vibrant spot right on the bay with tropical vibes and even better food. I went all out with:

  • Jerk Chicken Appetizer: Tenderloin marinated for 48 hours in their spicy jerk blend.
  • Seacrets Famous Steamed Shrimp: Jumbo shrimp with that classic seafood seasoning.
  • Brown Stew Chicken: Rich, savory, and full of flavor with red beans, rice, and plantains.
  • Petit Filet topped with lump crab meat, served with mashed potatoes and fried plantains.
    Everything was packed with flavor and the vibe was unforgettable.

🍦 Dumser’s Dairyland – Ocean City, MD


No trip to Ocean City is complete without Dumser’s! Since 1939, they’ve been serving up homemade ice cream and I had to go for a cup of their classic twist soft serve. A sweet ending to an amazing food journey.

If you’re heading to Ocean City, go hungry. There’s something for everyone and the food scene is just as memorable as the beaches! 🌅🍴🦞

A Flavor-Filled Day in Flemington, NJ

Posted on

A Flavor-Filled Day in Flemington, NJ: A Culinary Adventure You Won’t Forget

Small Bites Radio has been named Top Hospitality Shows on the Planet from 2020 – 2024, #Bluejeanfood.com named Top Philadelphia Best Philadelphia Lifestyle Blogs and Websites from 2021-2024, Best Philly Food Blogs and Websites 2023-24, Top 25 Philly Food RSS Feeds in 2024, nominated by Metro Philly Newspaper 2022-24 Best of Philadelphia Arts & Entertainment, and WINNER of Metro Philly Newspaper Best of Philadelphia Arts & Entertainment in 2023 and 2024.

If you’re looking for a hidden gem of a town in New Jersey with a little bit of everything — from Portuguese BBQ to Thai street food, bagels, and sweet treats — Flemington, NJ should be at the top of your list. I recently spent a day there exploring some of the best food the town has to offer, and let me tell you, it was a feast for the senses. From savory, char-grilled meats at a churrascaria to refreshing milkshakes and bagels, Flemington is a food lover’s dream. Here’s a rundown of my delicious adventure through this charming town.

Pork Chops BBQ Flemington: A Portuguese BBQ Paradise

Pork Chops BBQ – Flemington, NJ

Pork Chops BBQ Flemington, a unique churrascaria specializing in Portuguese-style, char-grilled meats and seafood. If you’re unfamiliar with churrascaria, think of it as a casual, meat-lover’s paradise where the focus is on perfectly cooked grilled meat. This informal yet inviting spot is a must-visit for anyone craving robust flavors and a true taste of Portuguese grilling.

I kicked off my meal with Clams A Bulhao Pato, a Portuguese classic that’s as simple as it is flavorful. The clams are prepared in a rich broth of olive oil, wine, garlic, and fresh cilantro — the perfect combination of savory and aromatic. The clams were tender and absorbed all the wonderful flavors from the sauce.

Then came the pork skewers, grilled to perfection. The meat was juicy, flavorful, and wonderfully charred on the outside. But the real showstopper for me was the Hawaiian pork BBQ, which came with a side of rice and sautéed veggies. The pork had a perfect balance of smoky sweetness from the BBQ glaze, and the rice and veggies were a satisfying complement to the rich flavors. I washed it all down with a refreshing Guaraná Antarctica soda, a popular Brazilian soft drink made from the guaraná fruit, which added a nice, crisp finish to the meal.

Everything at Pork Chops BBQ was cooked with care and had that perfect balance of smoky, savory, and just a touch of sweetness. If you’re in Flemington, this place is a must for anyone who loves grilled meat and authentic Portuguese flavors.

Savory Thai: Bold Flavors, Thai Comfort Food

Savory Thai – Flemington, NJ

Enter Savory Thai, a cozy spot in Flemington that serves up authentic Thai cuisine with all the bold flavors you’d expect. I decided to go with the Beef Basil Fried Rice, a classic Thai dish that never disappoints. The beef was tender, and the basil was aromatic, adding that signature herbal kick that makes Thai food so unique. The fried rice had the perfect balance of flavors — salty, savory, and a hint of spice that gave it just the right amount of heat.

Next, I dove into the Beef Pad See Ew, another Thai favorite. The wide rice noodles were stir-fried to perfection with savory beef, egg, and vegetables, all coated in a sweet soy sauce. The dish was hearty and satisfying, with just the right amount of char on the noodles, which added a nice smoky flavor. If you’re a fan of Thai cuisine, Savory Thai is a solid choice in Flemington, and everything I tried was excellent.

Mel’s Bagel & Deli: The Classic Pork Roll, Egg & Cheese

Mel’s Bagel & Deli – Flemington, NJ

Mel’s Bagel & Deli for a classic New Jersey breakfast sandwich. Pork Roll, Egg, and Cheese on an onion bagel was exactly what I needed. The pork roll was perfectly crispy around the edges, the egg was cooked just right, and the cheese added that extra layer of flavor. The onion bagel tied it all together, giving the sandwich an added depth of flavor with each bite. It’s the kind of breakfast that hits the spot — savory, comforting, and just the right amount of indulgent.

Thee Ice Cream Parlor: Sweet Endings

Thee Ice Cream Parlor – Flemington, NJ

I had to round out the day with something sweet, so I stopped by Thee Ice Cream Parlor. I opted for their pistachio milkshake and vanilla milkshake, both of which were absolute perfection. The pistachio milkshake was rich, creamy, and packed with a natural pistachio flavor, while the vanilla milkshake was smooth, sweet, and nostalgic. They were the perfect cool, refreshing treat after all the savory bites I’d enjoyed earlier in the day.

Flemington, NJ, may be a small town, but its food scene is anything but ordinary. Whether you’re in the mood for Portuguese churrasco, Thai comfort food, a classic pork roll sandwich, or a sweet milkshake, this town has it all. The diverse culinary offerings make it a perfect destination for a day trip — and with so many great spots to choose from, you’ll never go hungry.

Santucci’s Original Square Pizza – Sewell, NJ

Posted on

Santucci’s Original Square Pizza – Sewell, NJ

Small Bites Radio has been named Top Hospitality Shows on the Planet from 2020 – 2024, #Bluejeanfood.com named Top Philadelphia Best Philadelphia Lifestyle Blogs and Websites from 2021-2024, Best Philly Food Blogs and Websites 2023-24, Top 25 Philly Food RSS Feeds in 2024, nominated by Metro Philly Newspaper 2022-24 Best of Philadelphia Arts & Entertainment, and WINNER of Metro Philly Newspaper Best of Philadelphia Arts & Entertainment in 2023 and 2024.

When it comes to pizza, few places can claim the same legacy as Santucci’s Original Square Pizza. Though they’re now a beloved name in Sewell, NJ, their roots trace back to Philadelphia, where they first introduced their now-famous square pizza to the City of Brotherly Love. Over the years, Santucci’s has expanded, but the quality and craftsmanship behind their square pies have remained unchanged, keeping their loyal fans coming back for more.

If you haven’t had the chance to visit Santucci’s, you’re in for a treat. Their square pizza isn’t just a different shape — it’s a whole different experience. Let me walk you through my latest meal there, which was as memorable as the history behind the restaurant itself.

The History Behind Santucci’s Original Square Pizza

Santucci’s started in Philadelphia back in 1959, where the family perfected the recipe for square pizza. In those early days, square pies weren’t common, especially in a city known for its round pizzas and hoagies. But Santucci’s did things differently. They developed a thicker, crispy-crust pizza, with a tangy, sweet sauce and gooey mozzarella cheese, baked to golden perfection. It was this unique take on pizza that earned them a dedicated following, and now, even after moving to Sewell, their square pie remains iconic.

Fast-forward to today, and Santucci’s continues to honor its roots with the same family recipe, now serving their pizza in South Jersey while keeping that classic Philly flavor alive.

What I Tried: Santucci’s Original Square Pizza & More

On my latest visit to Santucci’s, I was in the mood to try some classic staples, and they did not disappoint. From the Original Square Pizza to the honey chipotle wings and a chicken cutlet sandwich with provolone and sautéed spinach, it was a full-on feast of flavors.

The Original Square Pizza 🍕

Let’s talk about the Original Square Pizza, which remains the star of the show. Santucci’s square pizza is unlike anything you’ve had before. The dough is thick yet light, with a satisfying crunch around the edges that contrasts perfectly with the rich, sweet sauce and perfectly melted mozzarella. Every bite feels like a bite of history — a pizza that’s been perfected over generations and is still delivering incredible flavor to this day. It’s comfort food with a twist, and it’s easy to see why it’s become a favorite in both Philly and South Jersey.

Honey Chipotle Wings 🍗

Then there are the Honey Chipotle Wings — the perfect balance of smoky, spicy, and sweet. These wings are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with just the right amount of heat from the chipotle and a touch of sweetness from the honey. If you like your wings with a little kick, you won’t be disappointed by these.

Chicken Cutlet Sandwich with Mild Provolone & Sautéed Spinach 🍽️

Lastly, I tried the Chicken Cutlet Sandwich. Let me just say: this sandwich was an absolute standout. The crispy, breaded chicken cutlet was tender and flavorful, and the mild provolone melted perfectly on top. But what really made this sandwich special was the sautéed spinach. The spinach added a lovely, savory depth of flavor that balanced out the richness of the chicken and cheese. Paired with some crispy fries, this sandwich is a solid choice for anyone looking for something hearty and satisfying.

Whether you’re a Philly native or a South Jersey local, Santucci’s Original Square Pizza is a must-try. The family’s dedication to crafting the perfect pizza and creating a welcoming, nostalgic atmosphere makes it more than just a place to grab a slice — it’s a destination.

Small Bites Radio has been named Top Hospitality Shows on the Planet from 2020 – 2024, #Bluejeanfood.com named Top Philadelphia Best Philadelphia Lifestyle Blogs and Websites from 2021-2024, Best Philly Food Blogs and Websites 2023-24, Top 25 Philly Food RSS Feeds in 2024, nominated by Metro Philly Newspaper 2022-24 Best of Philadelphia Arts & Entertainment, and WINNER of Metro Philly Newspaper Best of Philadelphia Arts & Entertainment in 2023 and 2024.

If you’re craving Asian cuisine, look no further than Oriental Pearl Restaurant in Boothwyn! This hidden gem offers a delightful array of dishes that showcase the vibrant flavors of Asian cooking.

During my recent visit, I couldn’t resist trying their Bún bò Huế, a traditional Vietnamese noodle soup that was nothing short of amazing. The broth was rich and aromatic, perfectly spiced with a depth of flavor that left me wanting more. The tender beef and fresh herbs made each bite a delicious experience!

To complement the soup, I also ordered their fried Japanese dumplings. These little pockets of joy were crispy on the outside and filled with a savory mixture that was simply irresistible. They made the perfect appetizer and paired wonderfully with the Bún bò Huế.

Oriental Pearl Restaurant is a must-visit for anyone looking to explore Asian flavors in a cozy setting. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Vietnamese cuisine or trying it for the first time, this place will leave you satisfied and eager to return. What’s your favorite Asian dish? 🍜🥟✨
