Chicken Saltimbocca with Linguine at Vittorio's Italian Restaurant at 1018 Asbury Avenue.
To the Editor:
A while back, I wrote a letter to OCNJ Daily saying how I was going to increase my support of Ocean City businesses by sitting down and eating a meal at an Ocean City restaurant every other Friday — in addition to my normal level of support of area businesses.
We are approaching another “Dine Out Friday,” my friends, which of course begs the question: Where are you eating Friday?
So far, I have had penne and chicken at Nonna’s Trattoria, French toast at Sunrise Café, a Philly roast beef sandwich at Varsity Inn, eggs benedict at Ready’s Coffee Shop and Restaurant, chicken saltimbocca at Vittorio’s Italian Restaurant, a roast beef sandwich at Arlene’s on Asbury, the Sunrise Breakfast at Sunrise Café, the Teriyaki Salmon Steak at Jay’s Crab Shack, and the Philly Cheeseburger at the Varsity Inn (that was supposed to be a trip to the OC Surf Cafe, but they were temporarily closed at the time).
Those who have been following my meals around town might be thinking, "It's Valentine's weekend, he must be taking his girlfriend to a romantic dinner on the island." Great idea, but I'm single. I'm gonna stay out of the way of the romantically inclined and have breakfast this Friday.
I'm gonna go to Frankie's on the Bay before work, I practically live on the same block as them. I will be posting a picture of my meal on OCNJ Daily’s Facebook page. I hope to see other people posting pictures this Friday, too!
