It’s an age-old dilemma. Everyone is hungry but it’s been another long busy day so who has the time or energy to cook? And, don’t forget, there’s also homework to be done.
So, what’s for dinner? Well, for one glorious day each school year, the answer to that question is easy and guilt-free. Dine Out for Education Day, sponsored by the Medford Education Foundation (MEF) on Tuesday, February 7 gives families a great excuse to visit any one of the participating Medford restaurants for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even carry out meals because a percentage of the profits will be donated to the MEF to support Medford Township Schools.
When ordering, customers must present their Dine Out for Education flyer, which will be available at the restaurants and also emailed to all school families from their child’s school. The restaurant will give a percentage of the patron’s bill to the MEF.
Dine Out for Education will be held in conjunction with Black Out Homework Night. Students in all grades throughout the district will have no homework, a great way to support schools and encourage family time.
Participating restaurants include: Zinc Cafe, 679 Stokes Rd; P.J. Whelihan’s Pub & Grille, Stokes Rd; Jasmine Oriental Cuisine and Toto Fresco Pizza, both at Sharps Run Plaza; Illiano Cucina Mediterranea, Village of Taunton Forge; Medford Bagel Shop, 15 Jackson Rd; Medport Diner and Tarantella Ristorante, both at Medford Plaza; Ott’s, 656 Stokes Rd; MaraVillas Grill, 208 Medford-Mt Holly Rd; Riviera Pizza, 620 Stokes Rd; Rustic Grille, 519 Stokes Rd.; and Femmina Italian Grill, 408 Stokes Rd.
Restaurants generally donate between ten and twenty percent of the increased revenue received that day. The MEF expects to raise approximately $3000.00 through the event.

Every day, in the early morning hours, Fred Glasgow hand selects all of the fresh fish and seafood he’ll bring back to stock his recently-opened Medford Seafood Market. “We want to make sure we are offering the freshest fish available,” said Fred’s wife and business partner, Toni Glasgow.
The new Medford Seafood Market is a seafood lover’s dream. On any given day fresh, high quality familiar fishes like flounder, tilapia, cod and haddock can be found along with specialty fish including sushi-grade yellow fin tuna, Chilean sea bass, Scottish salmon, Hawaiian butterfish and bronzini, a European sea bass.

As we gaily (or sometimes frantically) shop our way through the holiday season, it is sometimes difficult to determine what to get for the wine lover in your life. Sure, there is the obvious (wine). But there are only so many wine carriers, rabbit ear openers, decanters and wine stoppers that one person can accumulate. Here’s another idea: a book about wine or wine regions. One of the best that I have read is Natalie MacLean’s new book: Unquenchable: A Tipsy Quest for the World’s Best Bargain Wines.

When Joe Cahn rolls his motor coach into the Meadowlands Stadium parking lot this weekend, he will definitely be hungry. And it’s a crispy, creamy cannoli that he’ll be craving. Lucky for him, tailgaters’ tables in New Jersey go way beyond the standard Chips Ahoy cookies and always boast these awesome rolled pastries stuffed with a rich, sweetened cheese filling. Cahn knows better than anyone that tailgate menus these days offer way more than hamburgers and hot dogs sizzling on a hibachi.

In recen
t years, I have gravitated towards asking for a special outing with family members rather than birthday gifts. We get so busy that it is often hard to remember to take the time do something just for fun. Since I am a certified chocolate addict, I suggested to my son Michael that an afternoon with Mom on the Philadelphia Chocolate Tour would make a fine gift for my recent birthday. Good sport that he is, he agreed.
