Italian

I couldn't believe either of these recipes.

Obviously, we have the Jersey Italian swagger on lock, but you might be surprised to know that some celebrities sold to us as Italians, are anything but.

From the streets of Cumberland County to the sands of the Jersey Shore, there are many restaurants you know and love SO MUCH you think more people should be able to enjoy them.

I am thrilled to see this event back! On Saturday, September 25th, the annual Spring Lake Italian Festival will return. The event organizers will close down Morris Avenue from Third to Fourth to turn the street into an Italian village. From Noon-5 pm, you and the entire family can stroll through downtown Spring Lake while enjoying live music, dancing, food, activities, and shopping.

Sunday... Football...and a fresh pot of sauce.

If you read my articles, as you know, I love going out and exploring what the great Jersey Shore has to offer. What you might not know is that I grew up in Monmouth County. I graduated from Wall High School in 2012. Four years later, after getting my communications degree from West Virginia University in 2016, I quickly started my radio career in Kentucky. After a year in the middle of nowhere Kentucky, I then moved to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for three years. I was moving around the country to simply build my resume in hopes of one day making it back here to be a radio personality. Though I am very thankful for my past experiences in other states, I will be the first to admit I missed living at the Jersey Shore and I especially missed going to Jersey Shore restaurants. For the years I missed living at home, I am now taking FULL advantage of what the Jersey Shore has to offer.

And let’s hear from those with origins in the rest of Europe, as well as Asia, and the Middle East? Whatever your background, are you still serving dishes that were inspired by those places?
