Mon-Fri 7am-2pm | Sat-Sun 6:30am-2 

BEACH & PERRY, CAPE MAY 


-2pm 

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: The Mad Batter on Jackson Street inside the Carroll Villa 

Hotel. The Kulkowitz family has been serving breakfast, lunch and dinner 

for over 40 years. They also opened their new venture, The Cricket 

Club, in 2022. 

The drinks: We had the pleasure of our dear friend Mary Sexton 

working behind the bar when we arrived, so we grabbed a few stools 

and caught up a bit. Caiti, Nicole and Mary worked together for a couple 

years at Cabanas, so it’s always nice to see her when we stop in. We 

ordered a round of lemon-drop shots to celebrate our friend Jamie’s 

McDowell’s 32nd birthday to start and then kept things simple the rest 

of the afternoon. Dan had been craving a manmosa — orange vodka, 

Allagash White wheat beer, fresh-squeezed orange juice and champagne 

— so he sipped that while the rest of went for Surfside Peach iced 

teas and a Tito’s and sprite. We caught the end of the Phillies game on 

the TV across the bar and enjoyed our drinks while we waited — not 

very long — for our food. 

The food: Caiti mentioned The Mad Batter’s house nachos earlier 

in the day, so we went running. The mountain of corn tortilla chips 

topped with cheddar cheese, green onions, Pico de Gallo, fresh jalapeño, 

roasted tomato and chicken was shareable and had just the right 

amount of spice. Dan filled up on a cheesesteak and fries complete with 

onions, horseradish sauce and aged cheddar cheese. Jess and Jamie 

enjoyed some nachos with Caiti and Nicole, but also ordered chicken 

tostadas with pico, sour cream, avocado and salsa verde along with 

chorizo sausage paella. 

The takeaway: The Mad Batter is known for its brunch, but their 

lunch and dinner menus aren’t to be overlooked. They offer a variety 

of dishes from burgers and paninis to vegetable ravioli and filet. They 

also have a large vegan menu with plenty of options including seitan 

“wings” and vegan crab cakes. They are open daily for breakfast and 

lunch at 8am and dinner begins at 3pm.

Bird Droppings 

Dispatches from the nation’s birdwatching capital… by Seymore Thanu 

You may have heard that May 13 was 

the 40th World Series of Birding — 

the state-wide competition identifying 

the most species of birds in 

24 hours. The objective is to showcase 

the natural riches of New Jersey and 

raise money for bird conservation based upon 

pledges on team totals. Many conservation 

groups use the World Series as a fundraising 

platform including local organizations like 

the Wetlands Institute and Citizens United to 

Protect the Maurice River and its tributaries. 

Its raised millions of dollars over the course 

of its history. 

Participants come from across the United 

States. One participant even flew in from 

South Korea. Zeiss Optics, one of the event’s 

perennial sponsors flew in two corporate representatives 

from Germany and over 200 participants 

dined at the Awards Brunch at the 

Grand Hotel. 

Mid-May marks the peak overlap period 

between lingering winter residents like 

Brant and White-throated Sparrow, breeders 

like Orchard Oriole, and migrants like 

Bay-breasted Warbler that are just passing 

through. Typically, over 140 species are tallied 

by all teams. Yes! All in NJ, which is 

ecologically rich. In just three hours you can 

drive from Canadian zone woodlands in the 

north to a Coastal Carolina environment and 

never leave New Jersey. In the north, teams 

find breeding birds like Northern Goshawk 

and Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. In Cape May, 

there are Royal Terns, Chuck-wills-widow, 

Summer Tanager, and White Ibis. 

Many teams are choosing to compete not 

as full-state contestants but in the Limited 

Geographic category. In the LGA’s teams 

compete against an established par value 

which gives teams in urban areas, like Essex 

County, even footing against teams limiting 

their search to bird-rich Cape May. This year 

a Salem County team took top honors in 

this category. A Cornell-based team took top 

honors with a total just short of 200 species. 

Me? My friend Don Freiday and I competed 

as a Big Stay team, limiting our observations 

to birds seen or heard from the hawk 

watch platform in Cape May Point State 

Park. Our total of 138 was respectable but not 

enough to win. But the World Series of Birding 

is not about winning. As Woody Allen said, 

it’s about “showing up.” Anybody can play 

and I encourage every Cape May resident to 

join the fray next May. Go to the New Jersey 

Audubon or Cape May Bird Observatory website 

to learn more.

Is Indiana Jones too old for new adventures? 

Does one more mission for Cruise 

seem impossible? When did summer 

become the season for overextended 

sequels? Memorial Day weekend is the 

not-so-unofficial start of the blockbuster 

movie season, and there is plenty of action 

and familiarity to go around! Here’s a preview. 

In addition to Jones and Cruise, how 

about a Barbie who walks and talks… and gets 

booted from Barbieland? Well, get ready. Next 

month, you can see Harrison Ford reprise his 

most beloved role at 80 years old. Then in July, 

Tom Cruise at 60 attempts his seventh Mission 

Impossible installment. That same month, the 

live action Barbie premieres. 

Look, I’m not complaining — in fact, I 

hope Ford and Cruise knock it out of the ballpark 

(to borrow from another summertime 

favorite). And what about Barbie? The trailer is 

hilarious with Harley Quinn star Margot Robbie 

as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken. I’ve been a 

big fan of director Greta Gerwig for years. The 

films she’s starred in have been quirky and 

The Movie Column 

By arts columnist Tom Sims 

fun with some success. She’s directed only 

a few times, but they’ve gotten Oscar attention 

with three nominations for directing and 

writing. I’ve got high hopes! And I’m officially 

a “heart hands” fanboy of popstar Dua Lipa, 

who co-stars in this movie. 

There’s no shortage of superhero and 

action flicks this summer. Guardians of the 

Galaxy, Volume 3, is taking off already. Fast 

(and Furious) X is a fan fave but critics seem 

less impressed. I’m pumped to see the sequel 

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (the first one 

was outstanding). 

The Creator, an AI vs human sci-fi action 

film looks scary! Technically it doesn’t come 

out until September, but damn the trailer is 

amazing. Next month, The Flash swoops into 

theaters (he’s one of my favorite DC heroes). 

Ezra Miller reprises the role he started in 2017 

with The Justice League. Miller has been a favorite 

of mine since the quirky film City Island 

(2009). DC’s Blue Beetle, coming in August, is 

one of the zaniest superheroes. 

For the romantics, there’s yet another 

Greek wedding of the big and fat variety. 

Disney’s new live-action version of its classic 

The Little Mermaid has been getting rave 

reviews since last week’s premiere. The comedy 

They Cloned Tyrone is streaming on Netflix 

and looks hilarious. Whatever the movie, first 

or third (or seventh) in a series, there’s a lot 

of summer movies either streaming or exclusively 

in theaters. Let me know what you’ve 

seen at flixyoumissed@gmail.com.

The Activity Column 

Catherine Dugan’s guide to getting out there... this week, stock up for summer! 

Take a good look at your summer space. 

Chances are, the supplies you need for 

fun in the sun have run low. Stock up! 

Start with the big things — how’s the 

furniture holding up? The unofficial 

start of summer is also the unofficial start of 

garage sale season — maybe someone is selling 

the new kitchen table you need. Or maybe 

you can find outdoor furniture, rewoven beach 

chairs or repaired beach umbrellas. Garage 

sales are also a great source for children’s 

needs. Look for beach toys, sporting goods, 

musical instruments, puzzles for rainy days, 

family board games, even crayons. If you’re 

hosting a summer-long guest, like a niece 

with her first job, upgrade her space with a 

comfy reading chair or small lamp. 

Is there propane for the grill? Need a 

new water filter? Assess your oils, spices and 

condiments. Refrigerator space is always at 

a premium, but buy items like coffee, sugar, 

pancake mix, pasta, and clam juice. With a 

well-stocked cupboard, you can make dinner 

with a trip to the Lobster House fish market 

or a farm stand, saving you a summer afternoon 

in a crowded supermarket. Make an 

impromptu party with shelf-stable treats like 

popcorn, sprinkles and ice cream cones, cake 

mix and birthday candles for the Cancers, 

Leos and Virgos of your acquaintance. 

How are your sheets and towels holding 

up? You may be able to donate worn items 

to an animal shelter while you treat yourself 

to fluffy towels, perky pillows, and smooth 

sheets. Are there adequate cleaning and laundry 

supplies? Do you have an iron and ironing 

board? Are the batteries in your smoke and 

carbon-monoxide detectors fresh? Do you 

have flashlights and back-up batteries in case 

of a summer storm? Don’t forget the toilet 

paper, and maybe a fresh plunger. 

If company is coming, consider an air 

bed, along with ear plugs or eye masks for 

those who hope to sleep through the morning 

hubbub. Get an extra phone charger or two 

and keep a drawer of left-behind items like 

bathing suits, tee shirts and rash guards — the 

next guest may forget something. Stock the 

first-aid kit with bandages, antibiotic ointment, 

Benadryl tablets, stomach medicine 

and aloe. Don’t forget rubbing alcohol for 

sanitizing and for swimmer’s ear. Refresh 

your sunscreen supply — according to the 

Cleveland Clinic, sunscreen can last three 

years in a cool, dry area, but your beach bag is 

not a cool, dry area. Don’t forget an updated 

Cape May map and the latest issues of This 

Week in Cape May and Exit Zero.

The Answer Lady invites inquiries from 

gentle readers on all manner of relationship 

quandaries, matters of the 

heart and ethics. If you’d like to send 

a query, write to info@exitzero.us. Or, 

simply sit back, enjoy a cup of coffee and contemplate 

the wisdom herein. 

Dear Answer Lady 

My niece is getting married this fall and 

we’ve already accepted the invitation to the 

wedding. Unbeknownst to my husband and I, 

our married daughter and her husband were 

also planning on a personal vacation trip this 

fall and had arranged for someone to watch 

our grandkids while they were gone. Well they 

canceled, so my daughter asked US to watch 

them. Normally we would, but the dates of 

their trip conflict with my niece’s wedding. 

I’ve asked her to consider changing the dates 

of her trip, but she’s unable (or unwilling) to 

try that. My husband thinks we should put our 

daughter first and cancel our plans and watch 

their kids. I see this as an obligation we’ve 

already accepted and promised my sister, and 

The Answer Lady 

Wise answers to perplexing questions 

we should honor it. What say you? — Torn Wife 

Dear Torn Wife 

The Answer Lady weighs in on the side of 

honoring your first commitment. It should not 

be an automatic imperative that grandparents 

are obligated to be at the beck and call of plans 

that their children have made that have gone 

awry. Would you have made such a demand 

on your parents? If you think you can take the 

kiddies to the wedding and secure someone 

to watch them while the festivities are going 

on, that might be a compromise. Barring that, 

changing everything seems a precedent you 

might not want to set. Discuss it with your 

husband over a refreshing cocktail at Fins. 

Dear Answer Lady 

I am 12 years old, and my parents still 

won’t let me have a smart phone. I even took 

them to Delaney’s with my babysitting money 

to plead with them. They still said no. I am 

very responsible, and I don’t understand their 

attitude. I am the only one in my class without 

one and I think I am suffering from PTSD 

because of it. Help me. — Stressed 

Dear Stressed, 

The Answer Lady can assure you that you 

do not have PTSD. She can also assure you that 

your parents are very wise. A smart phone is 

not always appropriately named. Why not 

pitch them for a flip phone? The less smart 

option might satisfy both the concerns of your 

parents and your need to communicate. In the 

meantime, think about living in the moment 

and not in the Tik-Tok version of a moment.

Enrich Your Life... Adopt An Animal 

Three beautiful dogs from the Cape May County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center... call 609-465-8923 

COOPER is an energetic boy who loves to 

splash around in the pool. He has excellent 

leash skills and is a people-pleaser. Cooper 

lived with children previously, but needs to 

be the only pet in his new home. He is cratetrained 

which will help with his transition. He 

is also up to date on all vaccinations, neutered 

and housetrained. 

KOBO is a three-year old hound mix who 

came to the shelter when his owner could no 

longer care for him. He’s a happy and healthy 

pup who loves people. Kobo has excellent 

leash skills and checks back in with his human 

often. He needs a slow introduction to other 

dogs and cats but will adjust fine. Please welcome 

this loyal companion into your home. 

DIXIE is a beautiful four-year-old redbone 

coonhound who came to the shelter when her 

owners couldn’t keep her. She loves to go on 

walks and has wonderful leash manners. Dixie 

can become vocal when she wants attention 

and is very curious. She has lived with children 

and is dog social, but a slow introduction 

with any cats is best.

Enrich Your Life... Adopt An Animal 

Three beautiful cats from the Cape May County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center... call 609-465-8923 

GUCCI has a young face that will make your 

heart melt. She is a 10-month-old who came 

to the shelter from a hoarder house. Gucci was 

extremely emaciated and dirty. The shelter 

cleaned her up and she is adjusting to trusting 

people. Gucci would do well in a quiet home 

at first, but with no other dogs or children. If 

interested, contact the shelter. 

GRETA came to the shelter from a hoarder 

house. This 10-month-old girl was kept in a 

cage in the basement. She is one of the more 

positive and happy cats from the home, but 

don’t pick her up. She will need to be slowly 

introduced to being picked up with lots of 

patience and practice. Greta deserves a loving 

home — please contact the shelter. 

CANDY is a two-year-old girl who came to 

the shelter when her caregiver passed away. 

She was in need of extra TLC when she arrived 

but is now thriving. Candy would do well in a 

home with other cats and dogs — she will also 

take care of any unwanted mice she sees. She 

is a friendly and gentle kitty who is ready to 

find a loving home.
