This one took a long time to complete. Hope I never have to paint a piece of popcorn again. This painting features a bunch of food places that I love from the Jersey Shore. For me, and other folks living around the Philly area, going “down the shore” means going to the beaches south of Atlantic City. Ocean City, Stone Harbor, Avelon, Wildwood, Cape May – my in-laws have a place in Sea Isle City – in the heart of them all. Salt water taffy and fudge are a given – my favorite is from the Fudge Kitchen in Ocean City. Manco and Manco’s pizza is a must – love that they put the sauce on top of the cheese. Michael’s Seafood, Marie’s Seafood, The Lobster House in Cape May – all are great. The best cheesesteak place anywhere, including Philly, is in Atlantic City at a place called The White House. Their Italian hoagies are great as well. They actually rip out the center of their roll to make way for more meat. I’m gaining weight just thinking about my next visit to the Shore.
