Fact: You cannot count calories at the shore.
Mainly because if you actually knew what was in that funnel cake, you'd probably run away screaming. Best just not to go there. So, in the name of Memorial Day weekend, I am temporarily calling it quits on the healthy eats to give a shout out to my favorite naughty treats.
If you can't handle the truth, walk or bike to the boardwalk instead of driving. That might negate 1% of the damage.
- Mack and Manco's- Sausage pizza. Any pizza. Various locations in Ocean City (OC)
- Uncle Bills Pancake House- Chocolate chip pancakes, stuffed french toast, anything on the menu will do the trick. You can find this wonderful establishment in several NJ beach towns.
- Brown's- Go for the house made doughnuts. Bonus for your bod- they are pretty small. Located on the OC boardwalk.
- Smitty's Clam Bar- Grilled tuna, seafood au gratin & clam chowder should all be on your taste test list. Enjoy your meal on the popular bar stools or inside this long time Somers Point favorite. (Somers Point)
- Shriver's Salt Water Taffy & Fudge Shop- Best chocolate coconut clusters ever. (OC boardwalk)
- Sylvester's Fish Market & Restaurant- Delicious and reasonable dinners in a covered, outdoor, family-friendly environment. (Avalon)
- Springer's Homemade Ice Cream- The yummy ice cream is worth the wait. (Stone Harbor)
- Finally, my hometown favorite, Kessel's Korner. Kessel's is one of those great 1950's style mini diners with quick, cheap, yummy eats. Is any one dish spectacular? Probably not. But everything on the menu is good, service is quick and you'll be shocked when you see how low your bill is. I should buy stock in this place because I'm pretty sure my family keeps them running.
