• Pelican Restaurant
Pelicans are known for the distinctive way they eat, opening their bills and gulping down big fish with abandon. Although Chef Bill Fischer didn’t name the restaurant he helms—he simply added his moniker to the space’s original name when he took over about a year ago—you can assume he wants his customers to eat with similar gusto.
• Baby, It’s Cold Outside... There’s no better way to nip Jack Frost’s nose than by indulging in a warm winter cocktail. But other than the stodgy old hot toddy, can you name one? We checked in with a quartet of innovative area restaurants to find out what kind of heat rises from their bars when the temperature falls. Here’s what they served us:
• Ginger Traps …From the pages of South Jersey Magazine…
Ginger (not Mary Ann), the pungent, versatile and proliferating root spice, is actually a spice lily. For centuries, chefs and traders have dried, ground, chopped, boiled, sautéed and pickled it.
• Going Dutch …From the pages of South Jersey Magazine…
Here in South Jersey, we are fortunate to have a piece of traditional culture sprinkled throughout our counties that thrives by offering time-honored foodstuffs from the Pennsylvania Dutch heritage. Especially worth mentioning, as folks look to economize here and there, Dutch (or Amish) markets are the perfect reminder of “what’s old is new again” in more ways than one.
