Page 12 EXIT ZERO November 3, 2022
Every week, the Exit Zero crew goes for lunch (or dinner or,
maybe even on occasion, breakfast) at one of Cape May’s excellent
dining establishments. Then we give you the skinny on
what we ate, what we talked about (or some of what we talked
about), who spat their drink from laughing too hard, who served
us, who we bumped into and, you know, the general lay of the land.
The place: Our sales and events team took a trip over the bridge into
Wildwood for lunch last week and visited a frequent vendor for many of
our Ferry Park events — Wildwoods BBQ. They’re located right on the
corner of New Jersey and Seventh Avenues in North Wildwood.
The owners: David Gill and Joel Romano opened their new BBQ
joint a little over a year ago and have been serving up some top-notch
BBQ. David and Joel have been the best of friends since meeting in kindergarten
in their homeland of Australia. The duo followed their own
culinary paths — David mastering BBQ in the New York City borough
of Brooklyn and Joel working as the executive chef of a Philadelphia
restaurant — but came together for their biggest venture yet.
The vibe: The inside of Wildwood BBQs is full of picnic tables as
well as outside for additional seating. The walls are covered in personal
messages from friends, family and customers over their time open.
Those sweet BBQ smells pour out of the kitchen and will have your
mouth watering from the moment you walk through the door. Wildwoods
BBQ also has somewhat of an open concept and you can see a
little behind-the-scenes action while deciding what to order. From
brisket and chicken to veggies and mac & cheese, there is something for
everyone to throw on their tray.
The food: The events team, Krystina, Jess and Courtney, enjoyed a
platter of delicious BBQ with a variety of food. They munched on homemade
hot dogs, hamburgers, pulled pork, fried cauliflower, potato salad,
French Fries and beets. Courtney couldn’t resist and even grabbed a
half of a smoked chicken to take home for later. An impromptu nap
was added to the schedule following lunch... whoops! It was definitely
worth every bite.
The takeaway: Wildwoods BBQ is open daily 12-8pm. They’re a
great year-round spot for lunch and dinner. David and Joel also offer
catering for large-scale and special events. Just shoot them an email at
info@wildwoodsbbq.com.
