Just Grubbin Series: The Atlantic City Seafood Festival
For the crustacean nation the Atlantic City Seafood Festival is back and is moving to Atlantic City's famous boardwalk! This year's festival will be held outside, adjacent to The Showboat Casino. We have some major seafood fanatics on our team of bloggers at JustGrubbin.com so this might as well be our Super Bowl. The two-day celebration will have something for all ages, including live entertainment, games, a touch tank, and so much more. With September being National Hunger Action Month, the Atlantic City Food Festival will once again support the Community Food Bank of New Jersey by donating a portion of their proceeds from the event to the organization. Last years event was able to raise $10,000 which is equivalent of $100,000 in food distributed throughout the Garden State and this year they plan on increasing that amount!

As the summer grows late and the trees fill themselves with the last reserves of the deep green chlorophyll of summer, many will hike deep into the mountains of Colorado. They are in search of a hidden treasure that only comes with patience and a little luck. It is the season of mushroom hunting in the mountains.
Sound And The MessengerPublished 7 years ago in FeastWhere to Eat Instead of Loveless Cafe
Loveless Cafe has been a staple of the Nashville community and what I like to call the world wide community of soul food lovers, or the WWCOFS for short. Many people know this genre of food as soul food, meat and three, southern, or even comfort food. As a native of Nashville, I have been coming to Loveless since before I was born. For a while all the hype was true, Loveless was the best place to go if you want real southern food. However, more than just management changed years ago, and it hasn't been able to restore the former quality that everyone from this town remembers. Now Loveless is busier than they ever have been and the food isn't even half as good. Now, this next piece of information isn't something to go spreading around to everyone you know visiting or living in Nashville. The reason this place is special is because there aren't herds of people being bussed in to wait 45 minutes in line for cheese grits slathered in a stack of Kraft American singles to the point you feel like you're drinking processed cheese whiz with a sprinkle of grits. You won't feel like you are inside a chain restaurant owned by Opryland. There isn't anyone trying to sell you merchandise while you are cooped up in the waiting area trying to decide whether or not you want to wait any longer for this food.

**Chino is part of the Just Grubbin blogging team, he decided to give us his review of The Telford Inn in Mantua,NJ.** "Where everybody knows your name"...too cliche? Well, Telford Inn is like a home away from home. Great food, amazing drinks, and top notch service. At this point, I am pretty much a regular here. Bartenders and waitresses remember who I am and what I drink before I sit at the bar. Sooooo let me get to the point...best prime rib I've EVER had!!!

Worst Restaurant Chains Ever Made
The restaurant chain world has seen quite a few outstanding franchises in its time. Joe's Crab Shack and Buffalo Wild Wings, for example, have a ton of loyal fans who use them as their go-to venues. Even Taco Bell and McDonald's have a fairly loyal customer base, and that tends to allude to some degree of success.

Biggest Food Challenges in New Jersey
New Jersey is a state defined by food. Being right south of New York City, our Garden State is bombarded by tons of different influences from all the different cultures that pass through to and from New York to the rest of the country. Every culture brings food, and, thus, our food culture becomes more and more distinct with each person to pass through our borders.

There is perhaps no culinary vertical (group) that is more distinctly and uniquely American than BBQ. The truly great thing about this style of cooking is how accessible it is. You don’t need sophisticated equipment or large amounts of space.
