Ciao Ristorante Opens in Long Branch

I recently had the pleasure of dining at a brand new restaurant in Long Branch called Ciao Ristorante. We made reservations for their first official Saturday night and went in expecting to give them some slack on what I was sure was going to be less than perfect service, presentation, and taste as most restaurants need some time to get their acts together. Well, Chef Marc Marotta and his team require absolutely no slack. We commented several times over the course of the night that the restaurant seems like its been open for years.

Yesterday was the perfect day to be among over 100 beer and beef loving friends at Bar A in Lake Como for the Great Jersey Shore Burger Contest.

What do you get when you invite a Food Writer to the opening of a restaurant owned by a New Jersey Rock Icon? The same thing you always get, show me the food! Yeah, he’s cute that Jon Bon Jovi guy and yeah, he’s worth a gazillion bucks, and yeah, he and his wife, Dorothea, are doing great things to fight hunger (and you know we love that), but, out of my way, Handsome, and let me in that kitchen.

The Wine Is Divine at Four JG’s Vineyard

I am by no means a wine expert, but I like to think that I drink enough of it to know a thing or two about it. People travel the world in search of great wines, crossing the globe and touching down in France, Italy, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, Chile, Argentina, and here in the United States. But you don’t have to trek around the world or across the country to savor the perfect glass of wine.
