Every week, the Exit Zero crew goes for lunch (or dinner or,<br />
maybe even on occasion, breakfast) at one of Cape May’s excellent<br />
dining establishments. Then we give you the skinny on<br />
what we ate, what we talked about (or some of what we talked<br />
about), who spat their drink from laughing too hard, who served<br />
us, who we bumped into and, you know, the general lay of the land.<br />
The place: The Mad Batter on Jackson Street inside the Carroll Villa<br />
Hotel. The Kulkowitz family has been serving breakfast, lunch and dinner<br />
for over 40 years. They also opened their new venture, The Cricket<br />
Club, in 2022.<br />
The drinks: We had the pleasure of our dear friend Mary Sexton<br />
working behind the bar when we arrived, so we grabbed a few stools<br />
and caught up a bit. Caiti, Nicole and Mary worked together for a couple<br />
years at Cabanas, so it’s always nice to see her when we stop in. We<br />
ordered a round of lemon-drop shots to celebrate our friend Jamie’s<br />
McDowell’s 32nd birthday to start and then kept things simple the rest<br />
of the afternoon. Dan had been craving a manmosa — orange vodka,<br />
Allagash White wheat beer, fresh-squeezed orange juice and champagne<br />
— so he sipped that while the rest of went for Surfside Peach iced<br />
teas and a Tito’s and sprite. We caught the end of the Phillies game on<br />
the TV across the bar and enjoyed our drinks while we waited — not<br />
very long — for our food.<br />
The food: Caiti mentioned The Mad Batter’s house nachos earlier<br />
in the day, so we went running. The mountain of corn tortilla chips<br />
topped with cheddar cheese, green onions, Pico de Gallo, fresh jalapeño,<br />
roasted tomato and chicken was shareable and had just the right<br />
amount of spice. Dan filled up on a cheesesteak and fries complete with<br />
onions, horseradish sauce and aged cheddar cheese. Jess and Jamie<br />
enjoyed some nachos with Caiti and Nicole, but also ordered chicken<br />
tostadas with pico, sour cream, avocado and salsa verde along with<br />
chorizo sausage paella.<br />
The takeaway: The Mad Batter is known for its brunch, but their<br />
lunch and dinner menus aren’t to be overlooked. They offer a variety<br />
of dishes from burgers and paninis to vegetable ravioli and filet. They<br />
also have a large vegan menu with plenty of options including seitan<br />
“wings” and vegan crab cakes. They are open daily for breakfast and<br />
lunch at 8am and dinner begins at 3pm.

Bird Droppings<br />
Dispatches from the nation’s birdwatching capital… by Seymore Thanu<br />
You may have heard that May 13 was<br />
the 40th World Series of Birding —<br />
the state-wide competition identifying<br />
the most species of birds in<br />
24 hours. The objective is to showcase<br />
the natural riches of New Jersey and<br />
raise money for bird conservation based upon<br />
pledges on team totals. Many conservation<br />
groups use the World Series as a fundraising<br />
platform including local organizations like<br />
the Wetlands Institute and Citizens United to<br />
Protect the Maurice River and its tributaries.<br />
Its raised millions of dollars over the course<br />
of its history.<br />
Participants come from across the United<br />
States. One participant even flew in from<br />
South Korea. Zeiss Optics, one of the event’s<br />
perennial sponsors flew in two corporate representatives<br />
from Germany and over 200 participants<br />
dined at the Awards Brunch at the<br />
Grand Hotel.<br />
Mid-May marks the peak overlap period<br />
between lingering winter residents like<br />
Brant and White-throated Sparrow, breeders<br />
like Orchard Oriole, and migrants like<br />
Bay-breasted Warbler that are just passing<br />
through. Typically, over 140 species are tallied<br />
by all teams. Yes! All in NJ, which is<br />
ecologically rich. In just three hours you can<br />
drive from Canadian zone woodlands in the<br />
north to a Coastal Carolina environment and<br />
never leave New Jersey. In the north, teams<br />
find breeding birds like Northern Goshawk<br />
and Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. In Cape May,<br />
there are Royal Terns, Chuck-wills-widow,<br />
Summer Tanager, and White Ibis.<br />
Many teams are choosing to compete not<br />
as full-state contestants but in the Limited<br />
Geographic category. In the LGA’s teams<br />
compete against an established par value<br />
which gives teams in urban areas, like Essex<br />
County, even footing against teams limiting<br />
their search to bird-rich Cape May. This year<br />
a Salem County team took top honors in<br />
this category. A Cornell-based team took top<br />
honors with a total just short of 200 species.<br />
Me? My friend Don Freiday and I competed<br />
as a Big Stay team, limiting our observations<br />
to birds seen or heard from the hawk<br />
watch platform in Cape May Point State<br />
Park. Our total of 138 was respectable but not<br />
enough to win. But the World Series of Birding<br />
is not about winning. As Woody Allen said,<br />
it’s about “showing up.” Anybody can play<br />
and I encourage every Cape May resident to<br />
join the fray next May. Go to the New Jersey<br />
Audubon or Cape May Bird Observatory website<br />
to learn more.<br />

Is Indiana Jones too old for new adventures?<br />
Does one more mission for Cruise<br />
seem impossible? When did summer<br />
become the season for overextended<br />
sequels? Memorial Day weekend is the<br />
not-so-unofficial start of the blockbuster<br />
movie season, and there is plenty of action<br />
and familiarity to go around! Here’s a preview.<br />
In addition to Jones and Cruise, how<br />
about a Barbie who walks and talks… and gets<br />
booted from Barbieland? Well, get ready. Next<br />
month, you can see Harrison Ford reprise his<br />
most beloved role at 80 years old. Then in July,<br />
Tom Cruise at 60 attempts his seventh Mission<br />
Impossible installment. That same month, the<br />
live action Barbie premieres.<br />
Look, I’m not complaining — in fact, I<br />
hope Ford and Cruise knock it out of the ballpark<br />
(to borrow from another summertime<br />
favorite). And what about Barbie? The trailer is<br />
hilarious with Harley Quinn star Margot Robbie<br />
as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken. I’ve been a<br />
big fan of director Greta Gerwig for years. The<br />
films she’s starred in have been quirky and<br />
The Movie Column<br />
By arts columnist Tom Sims<br />
fun with some success. She’s directed only<br />
a few times, but they’ve gotten Oscar attention<br />
with three nominations for directing and<br />
writing. I’ve got high hopes! And I’m officially<br />
a “heart hands” fanboy of popstar Dua Lipa,<br />
who co-stars in this movie.<br />
There’s no shortage of superhero and<br />
action flicks this summer. Guardians of the<br />
Galaxy, Volume 3, is taking off already. Fast<br />
(and Furious) X is a fan fave but critics seem<br />
less impressed. I’m pumped to see the sequel<br />
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (the first one<br />
was outstanding).<br />
The Creator, an AI vs human sci-fi action<br />
film looks scary! Technically it doesn’t come<br />
out until September, but damn the trailer is<br />
amazing. Next month, The Flash swoops into<br />
theaters (he’s one of my favorite DC heroes).<br />
Ezra Miller reprises the role he started in 2017<br />
with The Justice League. Miller has been a favorite<br />
of mine since the quirky film City Island<br />
(2009). DC’s Blue Beetle, coming in August, is<br />
one of the zaniest superheroes.<br />
For the romantics, there’s yet another<br />
Greek wedding of the big and fat variety.<br />
Disney’s new live-action version of its classic<br />
The Little Mermaid has been getting rave<br />
reviews since last week’s premiere. The comedy<br />
They Cloned Tyrone is streaming on Netflix<br />
and looks hilarious. Whatever the movie, first<br />
or third (or seventh) in a series, there’s a lot<br />
of summer movies either streaming or exclusively<br />
in theaters. Let me know what you’ve<br />
seen at flixyoumissed@gmail.com.<br />

The Activity Column<br />
Catherine Dugan’s guide to getting out there... this week, stock up for summer!<br />
Take a good look at your summer space.<br />
Chances are, the supplies you need for<br />
fun in the sun have run low. Stock up!<br />
Start with the big things — how’s the<br />
furniture holding up? The unofficial<br />
start of summer is also the unofficial start of<br />
garage sale season — maybe someone is selling<br />
the new kitchen table you need. Or maybe<br />
you can find outdoor furniture, rewoven beach<br />
chairs or repaired beach umbrellas. Garage<br />
sales are also a great source for children’s<br />
needs. Look for beach toys, sporting goods,<br />
musical instruments, puzzles for rainy days,<br />
family board games, even crayons. If you’re<br />
hosting a summer-long guest, like a niece<br />
with her first job, upgrade her space with a<br />
comfy reading chair or small lamp.<br />
Is there propane for the grill? Need a<br />
new water filter? Assess your oils, spices and<br />
condiments. Refrigerator space is always at<br />
a premium, but buy items like coffee, sugar,<br />
pancake mix, pasta, and clam juice. With a<br />
well-stocked cupboard, you can make dinner<br />
with a trip to the Lobster House fish market<br />
or a farm stand, saving you a summer afternoon<br />
in a crowded supermarket. Make an<br />
impromptu party with shelf-stable treats like<br />
popcorn, sprinkles and ice cream cones, cake<br />
mix and birthday candles for the Cancers,<br />
Leos and Virgos of your acquaintance.<br />
How are your sheets and towels holding<br />
up? You may be able to donate worn items<br />
to an animal shelter while you treat yourself<br />
to fluffy towels, perky pillows, and smooth<br />
sheets. Are there adequate cleaning and laundry<br />
supplies? Do you have an iron and ironing<br />
board? Are the batteries in your smoke and<br />
carbon-monoxide detectors fresh? Do you<br />
have flashlights and back-up batteries in case<br />
of a summer storm? Don’t forget the toilet<br />
paper, and maybe a fresh plunger.<br />
If company is coming, consider an air<br />
bed, along with ear plugs or eye masks for<br />
those who hope to sleep through the morning<br />
hubbub. Get an extra phone charger or two<br />
and keep a drawer of left-behind items like<br />
bathing suits, tee shirts and rash guards — the<br />
next guest may forget something. Stock the<br />
first-aid kit with bandages, antibiotic ointment,<br />
Benadryl tablets, stomach medicine<br />
and aloe. Don’t forget rubbing alcohol for<br />
sanitizing and for swimmer’s ear. Refresh<br />
your sunscreen supply — according to the<br />
Cleveland Clinic, sunscreen can last three<br />
years in a cool, dry area, but your beach bag is<br />
not a cool, dry area. Don’t forget an updated<br />
Cape May map and the latest issues of This<br />
Week in Cape May and Exit Zero.<br />

The Answer Lady invites inquiries from<br />
gentle readers on all manner of relationship<br />
quandaries, matters of the<br />
heart and ethics. If you’d like to send<br />
a query, write to info@exitzero.us. Or,<br />
simply sit back, enjoy a cup of coffee and contemplate<br />
the wisdom herein.<br />
Dear Answer Lady<br />
My niece is getting married this fall and<br />
we’ve already accepted the invitation to the<br />
wedding. Unbeknownst to my husband and I,<br />
our married daughter and her husband were<br />
also planning on a personal vacation trip this<br />
fall and had arranged for someone to watch<br />
our grandkids while they were gone. Well they<br />
canceled, so my daughter asked US to watch<br />
them. Normally we would, but the dates of<br />
their trip conflict with my niece’s wedding.<br />
I’ve asked her to consider changing the dates<br />
of her trip, but she’s unable (or unwilling) to<br />
try that. My husband thinks we should put our<br />
daughter first and cancel our plans and watch<br />
their kids. I see this as an obligation we’ve<br />
already accepted and promised my sister, and<br />
The Answer Lady<br />
Wise answers to perplexing questions<br />
we should honor it. What say you? — Torn Wife<br />
Dear Torn Wife<br />
The Answer Lady weighs in on the side of<br />
honoring your first commitment. It should not<br />
be an automatic imperative that grandparents<br />
are obligated to be at the beck and call of plans<br />
that their children have made that have gone<br />
awry. Would you have made such a demand<br />
on your parents? If you think you can take the<br />
kiddies to the wedding and secure someone<br />
to watch them while the festivities are going<br />
on, that might be a compromise. Barring that,<br />
changing everything seems a precedent you<br />
might not want to set. Discuss it with your<br />
husband over a refreshing cocktail at Fins.<br />
Dear Answer Lady<br />
I am 12 years old, and my parents still<br />
won’t let me have a smart phone. I even took<br />
them to Delaney’s with my babysitting money<br />
to plead with them. They still said no. I am<br />
very responsible, and I don’t understand their<br />
attitude. I am the only one in my class without<br />
one and I think I am suffering from PTSD<br />
because of it. Help me. — Stressed<br />
Dear Stressed,<br />
The Answer Lady can assure you that you<br />
do not have PTSD. She can also assure you that<br />
your parents are very wise. A smart phone is<br />
not always appropriately named. Why not<br />
pitch them for a flip phone? The less smart<br />
option might satisfy both the concerns of your<br />
parents and your need to communicate. In the<br />
meantime, think about living in the moment<br />
and not in the Tik-Tok version of a moment.<br />

Enrich Your Life... Adopt An Animal<br />
Three beautiful dogs from the Cape May County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center... call 609-465-8923<br />
COOPER is an energetic boy who loves to<br />
splash around in the pool. He has excellent<br />
leash skills and is a people-pleaser. Cooper<br />
lived with children previously, but needs to<br />
be the only pet in his new home. He is cratetrained<br />
which will help with his transition. He<br />
is also up to date on all vaccinations, neutered<br />
and housetrained.<br />
KOBO is a three-year old hound mix who<br />
came to the shelter when his owner could no<br />
longer care for him. He’s a happy and healthy<br />
pup who loves people. Kobo has excellent<br />
leash skills and checks back in with his human<br />
often. He needs a slow introduction to other<br />
dogs and cats but will adjust fine. Please welcome<br />
this loyal companion into your home.<br />
DIXIE is a beautiful four-year-old redbone<br />
coonhound who came to the shelter when her<br />
owners couldn’t keep her. She loves to go on<br />
walks and has wonderful leash manners. Dixie<br />
can become vocal when she wants attention<br />
and is very curious. She has lived with children<br />
and is dog social, but a slow introduction<br />
with any cats is best.<br />

Enrich Your Life... Adopt An Animal<br />
Three beautiful cats from the Cape May County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center... call 609-465-8923<br />
GUCCI has a young face that will make your<br />
heart melt. She is a 10-month-old who came<br />
to the shelter from a hoarder house. Gucci was<br />
extremely emaciated and dirty. The shelter<br />
cleaned her up and she is adjusting to trusting<br />
people. Gucci would do well in a quiet home<br />
at first, but with no other dogs or children. If<br />
interested, contact the shelter.<br />
GRETA came to the shelter from a hoarder<br />
house. This 10-month-old girl was kept in a<br />
cage in the basement. She is one of the more<br />
positive and happy cats from the home, but<br />
don’t pick her up. She will need to be slowly<br />
introduced to being picked up with lots of<br />
patience and practice. Greta deserves a loving<br />
home — please contact the shelter.<br />
CANDY is a two-year-old girl who came to<br />
the shelter when her caregiver passed away.<br />
She was in need of extra TLC when she arrived<br />
but is now thriving. Candy would do well in a<br />
home with other cats and dogs — she will also<br />
take care of any unwanted mice she sees. She<br />
is a friendly and gentle kitty who is ready to<br />
find a loving home.<br />
