One of the names that kept popping up during my research for the Best Burgers in New Jersey article, was a relatively new restaurant called Boom in Belmar. Since Belmar is only about 20 minutes from me and my friend Kacy works right next door to Boom, we decided to give it a try.

Once again the Super Bowl is upon us. While it is not as sweet or exciting for New Jersey this year (stinkin’ Giants) at least The Boss is playing at halftime. And, we all know, no matter who’s playing, the Super Bowl is still a great excuse to eat and drink more than we should. Yey Guilt Free Gluttony!

When we think of “American Cuisine” is there anything more American than the Hamburger? There are a few theories behind who actually “invented” the Hamburger, but in the end, they all come to the same conclusion; the burger was born right here in the US. Maybe this is why people are so passionate about their favorite Burger joint and so utterly offended by disappointing renditions of our beloved burger. There are websites and blogs dedicated solely to the elusive quest for the ultimate in patty perfection. The male species seems to be especially opinionated on the topic. It’s a caveman thing I presume.

The end of January is when I start to lose my taste for “winter food.” I’ve had my fill of chilies and stews and all things heavy and homey. (Plus I wouldn’t mind losing a few Holiday LBs.)
