Synopsis
&“Chock full of photographs, the book dishes on food from the mid-1800s to the mid-1900s, all along the coast from Sandy Hook to Cape May.&” —RedBankGreen No trip to the Jersey Shore would be complete without indulging in the cuisine that helps make it famous. These foods we enjoy today are part of a long tradition beginning in the Victorian era, when big oceanfront hotels served elaborate meals. Diverse dishes and restaurants emerged during prohibition and the Great Depression, when fast food appeared and iconic boardwalk treats developed. Predating the farm to table movement, fancy and fast eateries have been supplied by local fishermen and farmers for decades. So whether you indulge in a tomato pie, pork roll or salt water taffy, take a mouthwatering historical tour and discover timeless treats from Sandy Hook to Cape May. &“Tells the story of the original farm and sea to table American destination. The book is filled with information about the way the NJ shore has eaten through history and the food establishments that have spanned generations, some still operating today.&” —NJ.com &“This book also gives us insights into the earliest days of Atlantic City&’s fine hotels. The Victorian era menus included in the volume are a treasure. I also loved her inclusion of such iconic former restaurants as Hackney&’s and Capt. Starn&’s and the still standing Knife and Fork Inn.&” —Atlantic City Central &“If you enjoy walking the Boardwalk for your pork roll and salt water taffy fix, or if you appreciate the history of the region&’s former great restaurants like Hackney&’s, Capt. Starn&’s and Zaberer&’s, this book will be an entertaining read.&” —Atlantic City Weekly
