On a recommendation from a twitter friend, we took a ride to Vincetown, NJ in search of the Vincetown Diner. It looks like any other diner on the outside but it's menu is far from ordinary. Many items are organic and the ingredients are as local as possible. A creative flair adds gastronomic fun - the chicken cupcakes, for instance. Excellent chicken meatloafs made in muffin pans with mashed potato "frosting".
My hubby, Monsterfink, had a burger made from local beef that he greatly enjoyed. And our daughter ordered the Mickey pancakes with sausage:
that came with REAL maple syrup!
Her breakfast sausages were out of this world - I snagged a taste!
My entree came with a salad that was actually a salad - so many other places plunk down a bowl of sad iceberg, but this salad was crisp, fresh and had a homemade crouton. Bonus!
Entrees also come with warm bread with 3 types of organic butter - cranberry (tangy creamy goodness), plain, and parsley garlic (OMG- soooo good!).
The meal was so big with 2 full sized chicken cupcakes and half the plate filled with seasoned veggies, I took half home for a full meal the next day. Entree was only 14.99 so both the meals I got out of it were only 7.50 each.
Dessert was to die for blueberry crumb pie made in house with local NJ blueberries. The berries were sweet and paired perfectly with the butter crumb topping. Served warm with whipped cream, it was heaven on a plate.
My daughter's ice cream was beautifully presented, rich and creamy...
This meal was a perfect end to our summer foodie staycation. To combat my food hangover after the week long foodventure, it's on to exercise, whole grain and organic produce goodness!
