Despite numerous trips to Atlantic City, somehow I have never made it to the
most famous sub shop in South Jersey-- the White House Sub Shop. In business for 65 years, the restaurant has served up its
famous Italian and cheese-steak subs to the likes of George Clooney and Frank Sinatra but not me! Perhaps it was the out of the way location that was the problem. To remedy that, White House Sub Shop has added a second restaurant at the Trump Taj Mahal. www.trumptaj.com.

Tea for Thee...and Me
Warm up a cold afternoon with a steaming pot of tea and a fanciful assortment of dainty sandwiches (crusts removed of course!), savory noshes, scones and homemade desserts.
Look for profiles of three lovely teahouses in the January issue of NJSL.
Here's a sneak peek at one of our favorites, High SocieTea in Wayne.
We loved the triple tiered presentation, the fresh flowers and the cozy covered teapots. Some of our favorite bites were the delicate phyllo cups filled with peach jam and brie, Italian bread broiled with a lemon-basil topping and of course, their signature caramel scones.
RESERVATIONS REQUIRED- 973.696.8327

Trippin' with Tomatoes
Did you take our advice and spend last weekend enjoying the Food Network Food and Wine Festival last weekend in Atlantic City ? What were your highlights? As reported in the last issue of NJSL, Claire Robinson, host of Five Ingredient Fix, based an entire brunch around our state's pride, the Jersey tomato. Robinson presented everything from a shaved Italian ice infused with tomato and Van Gogh vodka to savory entrees and specialty cocktails. Miss it? The recipe for Tomato and Vidalia Onion Gratin follows. Our thanks to The NYC Fashionista for the image-- check-out the blog for more great photos and coverage of the event.
TOMATO & VIDALIA ONION GRATIN
Recipe courtesy of Claire Robinson
1/4 lb. bacon
1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
2 large Vidalia onions, peeled and sliced into ¼-inch thick rounds
4 large GREEN or firm under-ripe heirloom or beefsteak tomatoes, sliced 1/4 inch thick
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
6 ounces sharp white cheddar cheese, grated, about 1 1/2 cups
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Render bacon in a large skillet over medium heat. Remove the cooked bacon along with 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat; pour the fat over the breadcrumbs and toss to coat. Add the onion rounds to the skillet in batches and cook, without breaking the round slices apart, until there is some golden color, about 5 to 6 minutes per side.
To assemble the gratin, overlap the green tomato slices in one row in a large baking dish, about 9-x-11 inches. Next, make a row slightly overlapping of the partially cooked onion rounds being careful to keep the slices intact. Repeat steps until all tomatoes and onions are used; season tomatoes and onions heavily with pepper and lightly with salt. Crumble the bacon over the vegetables; sprinkle the grated cheddar over the top followed by the breadcrumbs. Bake for 30 - 45 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly; if the top is getting too brown loosely cover with foil.
Yield: 4-6 servings

The handsome space features an 18-foot water table with floating flowers under a wooden pergola, day beds for relaxing and a park-like perimeter for strolling. An ideal spot for drinks and dinner al fresco.

Stock up in Stockton
The sun rose bright and clear today after a blustery Friday so off we went to the charming little town of Stockton for a walk along the Delaware River. We noticed the sign below and decided to investigate.
The market was small but had a wide variety of wonderful food items for sale. Everything from fresh produce to seafood was available. We bought a hot cup of organic coffee at the Coffee Scoop and a delicious loaf of artisan whole wheat bread with raisins and walnuts at Rise Bakery. Bucks County Cookie Company had a tempting array of baked goods and toddlers were seen devouring cups of ice cream from the oWow Cow Creamery.
The gallery is just a few paces from the historic Stockton Inn (below) which offers fine dining, a rustic tavern and lodging.
