PUMPKIN PANCAKES HAVE ARRIVED
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 Blue Pig Tavern at Congress Hall in the heart of Cape
May’s Historic District. We grabbed a table on their outdoor patio under
the sun on a beautiful Wednesday afternoon. It wasn’t too busy, and we
were seated right away, unsurprising considering the time of year and
a miweek day out.
The conversation: Jack, Courtney, Kayla and Nicole enjoyed a lunch
meeting to chat about some exciting marketing plans in the works, one
of which is our very large and very fabulous Exit Zero anniversary book
coming next summer. This book will be a pictorial history of Cape May
and so much of the best Exit Zero magazine has published over the last
21 years. Inside you’ll see photos from the openings of some of Cape
May finest restaurants, weddings, high school reunions, and plenty of
beach photos from over the years. You also have an opportunity to have
your personal message included in this incredible book. Memorialize
your favorite Cape May memory — a funny moment from a vacation, a
tradition you had with your grandparents as a child, or why you retired
here. We want you to remember WHY you love Cape May. This book is
going to be HUGE, check out more at exitzero.store.
The food: Wouldn’t be a lunch meeting without some delicious
food. Jack and Nicole started with their soup of the day — a sweet
potato bisque before digging into fish and chips and a chicken Caesar
salad, respectively. Courtney and Kayla both enjoyed a grilled chicken
wrap with feta, olive tapenade and hummus. Kayla also indulged with
some fries while Courtney stuck to a side salad. We boxed up a few
things before heading back to the office — it was both a tasty and productive
afternoon.
The takeaway: The Blue Pig is open daily for breakfast beginning at
7:30am, lunch from 11am to 3pm, and dinner from 5 to 10pm. It’s a great
spot to enjoy a quick bite with the family — they do have a kids’ menu
— or to do some business. We’ve had our fair share of work meetings at
the Blue Pig and it surely will not be our last.
