Wall Township

For me, staying active is very important. Not only does working out help me mentally, but I like eating... a lot. If I don't stay active I blow up like a tick. I witnessed it first hand in college...my "Freshman 15" was actually a "Freshman 25". Also, don't even get me started about my sweet tooth. My sweet tooth is so bad that I sometimes itch for a box of Entenmann's chocolate chip cookies. I simply lose control of myself in front of sweets. There's no other way to put it, I have a love-hate relationship with my kitchen. So yes...as you can tell... I pretty much need to work out and stay active on a daily basis haha!

So how do you honor our nation's heroes? Like many, my family enjoys a tasty barbecue. Though the weather this weekend might be unfortunate, I'm sure the Guiliano's will still be putting our favorite foods on the grill. Now, of course, we will be grilling the typical hotdogs and hamburgers but the whole family goes crazy for sausage and peppers.

Once someone posts an opinion on Facebook, for the most part, all hell breaks loose. Think about it, every day you come across a Facebook argument, whether it's related to politics, sports, music, or food. Arguing and fighting on Facebook is not healthy for the average human being... but I'm not going to lie, sometimes I think it's hysterical. For example, I am a Facebook member of Jersey Sandwich Joints, which is a ten thousand person group. It's a cool Facebook group because you are able to learn about tasty New Jersey sandwich shops. However, every day hundreds of people argue about the difference between Pork Roll & Taylor Ham. It's a mix of pride and stupidity.

I barely started typing this article and I am already craving a Choco Taco...and a ScrewBall... and a SpongeBob popsicle, that doesn't even look like SpongeBob SquarePants. SUMMER IS HERE, LET'S EAT ICE CREAM!

Adapting to "COVID-19 virtual life" has been difficult for a handful of people. However, there is a married couple in Wall Township who has taken full advantage of our new way of living. Chef Dominic Sestito IV and Sarina Sestito recently started a LIVE virtual cooking class and it's called Good Eats & Pour Decisions!!

It wasn't long ago that many of us were laughing at the Rt. 35 ShopRite and Dunkin' feud. It was hilarious and totally ridiculous all at the same time. I had a blast writing that March 31st article and I greatly appreciate the positive feedback from many of you! So what now? What's going on? It's been over a month since I wrote that article so I think it's time you get a much-needed Rt. 35 update...

You will likely end up on the hook for a couple thousand dollars, according to Wall Township police.

I don't know about you but every time I make eye contact with the Circus Drive-In billboard my mind gets flooded with memories. I can't tell you how many times I enjoyed a Circus Drive-In vanilla ice cream cup with a lollipop sticking out of it. The place was a Jersey Shore landmark for 64 years and to this day, many locals will say they wish the establishment was still around.

At this point, you have to have a sense of humor about the ShopRite & Dunkin' feud in Wall Township.

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.

A very big piece of Jersey Shore history will cease to exist later this spring.

Yup... I am salivating! For those who have a sweet tooth, prepare for an award-winning bakery to open off Rt. 35 in Sea Girt Square.
