OMG Nachos
Despite my initial hesitation about having to say Grain Craft Bar + Kitchen’s “OMG Nachos” while ordering, they’re the best I’ve had on Main Street in Newark. A massive serving of house-made chips piled high with melted cheese and house-made salsa, jalapeño and guacamole, the nachos are great for sharing… and even better for hoarding as leftovers. Additional options are toppings of chicken, brisket or pulled pork, although the appetizer/meal is very filling on its own.

A Home Garden
Behold! The seeds have officially been planted! Every year the garden at our home gets larger, and every year I try to harvest something new. It’s not only fun for the kids to 
participate, but it’s also one of my favorite hobbies. What’s more rewarding than growing healthy foods the whole family can enjoy?

The Seafood Salad at Pizza by Elizabeths
The menu item I crave at Pizza by Elizabeths isn’t pizza or even the infamous tomato soup 
(although those things are also delicious); it’s the seafood salad: field greens, shrimp, crab, chopped tomatoes, artichoke hearts and bacon with creamy Dijon dressing. It’s not something I’d typically order. I’m not even a huge fan of shrimp. Don’t substitute the dressing—I promise you’ll be happy.

Dogfish Head Squall IPA
It’s neither as exotic nor as sexy as most of the other experimentally far-out brews that Dogfish concocts regularly from its Milton-based brewery-cum-laboratory, but the Squall is extraordinary in its own right. And it’s back!
Essentially an unfiltered and naturally-carbonated variation of Dogfish’s classic 90 Minute IPA, the Squall was originally released in 2009, then in wider release the following year to rave reviews. Soon enough it was gone. Everywhere.
I have one bottle that I’ve been saving for a special occasion since 2011, but was elated to be able to add more to the collection. If you’re a fan of bottle-condition beers, citrusy hops paired with sweet malts, and double-IPAs in general, then the Squall is a storm you will be more than pleased to experience.
