If you are looking for an old school Italian experience of the Boardwalk Empire style days during Atlantic City Boardwalk’s heyday you don’t have to look any further than Chef Vola’s where you feel like you will have to know the special knock on the door for them answer. You can’t just walk into Chef Vola’s or call them up, use grubhub, doordash, etc. to order from them. You need to leave a message for them to call you back after you advise the day and time you want to dine with them (and be sure to give a month or two advance notice) and they will tell you if you’ve been accepted and confirmed or if they are fully booked. They were allowing take-out, but you still had to know the secret password to order with them, but they have now ceased doing take-out orders. Well let me tell you no matter how you dine with them, you need to make sure you do. They food was absolutely delicious and amazing. I had the Milk Fed Veal medallions with Peppers, mushrooms and onions, sautéed in extra virgin olive oil and Garlic that just blew me away how great it was. I normally don’t eat veal or enjoy it most times, but it was recommended and let me tell you it is a must order if you go. The veal was so tender I was able to cut it with just my fork and the flavor was suburb throughout the dish. Also served was House Salad made with iceberg & romaine lettuce, tomato, cucumbers, pepperoni, sharp provolone cheese, black olives, pepperoncini peppers, chopped red onions and garlic croutons, topped with anchovies with their house extra virgin olive oil/balsamic vinaigrette dressing served on the side, broiled half of chicken cut up, and Butterscotch and rum ricotta cheese pie.

With international travel restrictions easing a bit for fully vaccinated individuals everyone has the taste of travel coming back. Inspired by Iceland was one of the first to reopen so that everyone can once again visit Blue Lagoon Iceland, Iceland Airwaves, as well as their many natural beauty and wonders and what better way to get into the mood than to have a preview what you can experience there right in your own home. We will talk to Björn Steinar Jónsson, Saltverk’s founder and engineer turned restaurateur. Saltverk is hand-harvested sustainable sea salt using a long-forgotten 17th-century process from the remote Visit Westfjords – Iceland. Using 100% geothermal energy and only one raw material — the pristine seawater of the region — Saltverk is one of the few entirely sustainable flake sea-salt producers in the world. The pure flavor and ingredients set Saltverk’s salts apart. Saltverk can be found in the kitchens of some of the world’s most renowned restaurants. Then we will be joined by Kjartan Gíslason the founder of Omnom Chocolate. Omnom is Iceland’s first and only “bean-to-bar” chocolate maker. Omnom’s core ingredients include: Single-origin cocoa beans from Madagascar, Tanzania and Nicaragua; organic sugar cane; and natural Icelandic milk powder directly from farmers to further help assess the social, environmental and economic impact of its purchases. The factory itself runs on 100% geothermal energy, making Omnom a leading bean-to-bar producer using renewable energy.
Coming back to America we will welcome on the show James Caverly the CEO of Booskerdoo Coffee & Baking Co.

Fast forward to 2020, six locations, a franchising program, and 2 kids later, Booskerdoo Coffee & Baking Co. is one of the Jersey Shore’s most beloved coffee shops. Their mission is a simple one: serve a delicious cup of freshly roasted coffee and fantastic homemade baked goods and ultimately, make people happy. Their pro-people outlook, inclusiveness, and free-spirited nature (which is telling by their name) are what has made Booskeroo such a success over the years, with growth on the way.

This laid back country drinking hole hits the spot with bbq themed tavern fair. I had the Hickory Smoked Prime Rib Cheesesteak Melt topped with caramelized onion, mushroom, melted cheddar jack cheese, and creamy horseradish sauce and served hot on a toasted brioche bun with house fried chips and an order of pulled pork as well with applesauce.

With Easter just days away and ham being one of most popular options one place you really should know about if you don’t already The Honey Baked Ham Company. You can order online to have delivered or go to one of their locations nationwide. The ham is downright yummy and makes one delicious soup afterwards since I got the half bone-in ham.

Hemingway’s Steaks & Seafood Restaurant – Cape May, NJ
#SmallBitesRadio was named #14 out of Top 30 Best Hospitality Shows on the planet for 2020.
Sometimes it is nice to step back in the past. Hemingway’s is one of those places to give you comfort knowing when you order a prime rib, you get the exact type you want that has been served forever. Nothing new needs to happen. Just delicious as it is in its 14 oz of beefy glory with a really good french onion soup and sides of mashed potatoes and string beans.

Supermarkets have made rotisserie chicken an easy meal option. Well Joe’s Poultry Farm takes it to the next level with just one of the best rotisserie chicken meals around. I had a full rack of ribs added and made it a huge carnivore delight. Service was super friendly and prices are extremely reasonable. A great grab and go place for sure and you should add them to your list of ideas when you need a quick meal.

This place is a little bit everything all in one stop. They publish a weekly free magazine, have a retail store, run a real gas station, and best of all have a restaurant and bar here as well. You would think all of the other things could distract from the food, but thankfully the food was some of the best around. Had the Thai shrimp and coconut soup which was down right fabulous with huge pieces of shrimp, Thai lobster curry with very generous portions of lobster and full of flavor, and an order of naan. It is such a cool place to not only visit, but to eat at as well.

This place is just great. Everything we had was top notch. Had dumplings in chili oil, pork fried rice, dan dan noodle, salt and pepper style scallops, three cup chicken, and black bean style beef. Highly recommended if in the area.

Many places are struggling getting take-out correct during these trying and tough times. Well Prawn is doing an amazing job providing a delicious meal at a fantastic price point. Their monthly meal deals have been $50 for a dinner for 2 people and the dinner special I had enjoyed was 4 lobster tails, risotto, roasted veggies, salad, and house baked fresh bread. Add on as well a daily $5 appetizer special that was mussels and all the proceeds of the special are dispersed to a chosen cause, charity or organization , and I also grabbed an order of U-Peel shrimp and a cup of New England Clam Chowder which created a seafood feast. Cape May has been famous for Victorian Houses, lighthouse, a sunken concrete ship, and the beach but Prawn just may be the next must see and do destination.
