Summer is finally here! And that means it's time for some al fresco dining ... brunch, lunch, dinner, and drinks! A quintessential summer treat akin to baseball in the park, outdoor concerts, and lazy days at the beach. When restaurant goers take to the streets, opting to enjoy the sunshine along with their meals, a whole new dining experience emerges. Now that the days are growing longer, many restaurants are opening their doors, setting up shop on sidewalks and dusting off their roof decks. Theres nothing like the combination of food, friends and the great outdoors to instantly improve your mood. Monmouth County has some of the best outdoor dining options available offering everything from views of the open sea or the Manhattan skyline, to beautiful tranquil gardens and sidewalk settings just perfect for people watching. Here are some of our favorite haunts equipped with large outdoor spaces, delicious and reliable grub, chilled cocktails, and, the best of people watching.

The ebb and flow of the summer tides have fresh new meaning to me as the waves line the shoreline and leave something delicious and nutritious along our coast. Natural and raw are beliefs that go together for me and my crew this season. Sea lettuce is yet another of natures most plentiful sources of complete protein with trace minerals and nutrients. With so many natural, pure, organic resources its a wonder to me why we would have ever eaten any other way. Introduced to me decades ago in Japanese restaurants, seaweed salad soon became a sushi staple for me until I found how I could find these wildly harvested vegetables myself and prepare my own versions for friends and family. Once I began to explore the RAW aspects of nutrition, I began to delve deeper into the
facts of the deep blue sea. Sea veggies are up to twenty times richer in minerals than land plants. Theyre beneficial in cleansing blood, increasing metabolism and healing joints among a plethora of other curative properties. I make many versions and you can play around with your own recipes but here is one thats sure to fit any dinner on the Jersey Shore this time of year. Truly energizing, this salad is perfect for summercool and revitalizing. For a vegan version of surf and turf, try it accompanied with rehydrated, marinated shitake mushrooms. Its extraordinary accompanied with your favorite seafood as a main course. But however you decide to serve it, it will truly be an invigorating experience!
Peace, love and happiness!

Welcome To
KEY WEST, NEW JERSEY!

You find us,well feed yougoes the slogan at Red Banks Boondocks Fishery & Grill, now in its third year of operation. This seasonal dining destination on the Navesink River is, in fact, all but invisible (when approached by land) to those not actively seeking it,given its off-the-beaten-path locale in a corner of Irwin Marina at the base ofWharf Avenue in Marine Park.
But its hard to miss the overwhelmingly positive buzzincluding reviews by The New York Times and Star-Ledger, not to mention online chatter on dining review sites and boating forumsthats been building as Boondocks serves up casual seafood fare from May through October, in a friendly, laid-back environment that can boast one of the best waterside-dining views in town. Some might remember the place as the Navesink Caf, the occupant for more than a decade, followed briefly by a sushi bar. It had been vacant for a couple years when marina owner Chann Irwin approached Boondocks proprietor Kelly Ryan for advice on what to do with the property. Kellywho has a degree in
48
restaurant management, once owned a bar in Manhattan and a juice bar near the Red Bank train station, and has overseen the catering business at Donovans Reef in Sea Bright for nearly 12 yearssays she took one look at the property and was smitten. Despite growing up in nearby Matawan, living and working for a time in Red Bank, and now residing in Atlantic Highlands, she never had a clue what was there. It was beige, it was plastic, it was nuts, she says of the former dcor, but immediately I saw the possibilities. Kelly had the small beige building (now the Boondocks kitchen) repainted an eye-grabbing red; added wooden picnic tables, a canopy and red umbrellas for the outdoor-only dining area, potted palm fronds, sun-bleached lobster traps and multi-colored wooden buoys; and compiled a seriously seafood menu using recipes largely acquired while working at a landmark chowder house in Camden, Maine. The final result is a cool, comfy synthesis of the jaunty lobster shanties Kelly loves from her times up north and the friendly fish shacks she frequents during trips to the Florida Keys, Exuma Islands, and other tropical climes. Diners order and pay at the window, then things are pretty much fullservice after that, with wait staff delivering the food to the tables and clearing. The no-nonsense menu includes an assortment of appetizers (from steamers to fried calamari), sandwiches, and entrees, plus specials determined by what fresh catch is available. Top-selling appetizers include succulent coconut-crusted scallops with a feisty sweetand-sour dipping sauce and seared garlic tune bites with a hint of Cajun kick. The popular Lobster Roll is the real Down East deal: solid chunks of lobster in a little bit of mayo and some lettuce strips for a cool crunch stuffed into a traditional soft, center-top-cut roll. An emerging favorite is the Cilantro Lime Shrimp Roll concocted by aptly named chef Trinidad: chunks of
shrimp, avocado and tomato seasoned with lime and fresh cilantro also on the top-cut roll. Like all sandwiches, they come with coleslaw, pickles and chips, as do most of the standard entrees fried shrimp, fried or blackened scallops, and fried flounder. Shrimp Scampi is served over rice. And BBQ Baby Back Ribs (a landlubber option along with Grilled Chicken Kabobs over rice, a half-pound burger, and a new kids menu) come with sweet potato fries. Recent specials included Grilled Swordfish with Pineapple Salsa over rice, Mussels Marinara or Fra Diablo, Crabcake over rice, and a 1-1/4-pound lobster with corn and potatoes. Tuesdays are two-forone Lobster Night at Boondocks and the crowds tend to rivalif not exceedwhat you might encounter on weekends. Boondocks is BYOB. Theyll supply the bucket of ice and cups. (Kelly reports that some regulars have taken to bringing their own wine glasses, along with table cloths, placemats and candelabrasIts almost like this friendly competition on who can decorate their table nicer!) But if you forget and arent in the mood to swing back to the main thoroughfare, two local liquor stores will deliver for a small charge. Assorted soft drinks are also available. Boondocks is also cash only, but if youve only got plastic, youre covered here, too: Theres an ATM right on the premises.

hat we drink can have a huge impact on the perfect al fresco dining experience. The trouble we face is knowing the best wine to buy to compliment these occasions. Here are some top tips on the wines to buy to help you with your summer entertaining.
So once you have identified which wine to buy to help further tantalise the taste buds of your guests, there are a few golden rules you should follow to make sure you get the best bottles and serve them at their best. What about age and years, how does the year impact the taste of the wine you buy? As a guide, most white wines (particularly inexpensive bottles) are best drunk as
RED WINES When it comes to barbeque-wine pairing, red wines are the easiest. For steak lovers try a great Cabernet Sauvignon which will bring out the flavours of the meat. For poultry or pork a Sangiovese will do you well. And for those of you who like you food covered in bbq sauce the wine to buy is a Chianti or a Zinfandel. For a great all rounder you cant go wrong with a Merlot, the perfect fit for most things.
WHITE WINES Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon are great wines to buy for vegetarians and fish lovers, being the perfect partner for grilled veg and seafood. For red meat lovers who fancy a touch of white with their meal, try a Pinot Gris or Pinot Blanc. And again for BBQ sauce lovers you cant beat a Riesling.
young as possible - certainly within a year or two of the vintage. Their appeal is in their freshness and fruitiness. For reds, dont be fooled into following the myth that red wines should be kept for years. Most red wines nowadays are perfect for drinking quite soon after the vintage. The Australians are masters of this rounded, fruit-driven style. But the French dont follow too far behind and produce some great earlydrinking reds, as do the more progressive estates of Spain and Italy. Its the older generation of red wines, the ones which contain more tannin - the stuff that acts as the wine's natural preservative, which you might want to leave to linger for a while.
And what about the perfect temperature to store the wine you buy? Well we all know that nothing ruins a wine more than serving it at the wrong temperature. Crisp dry whites, ros, sweet and sparkling wines need at least an hour in the fridge. Less chilling however allows richer whites to show off their complexity so opt for about 30 minutes at most for chilling. Heavy reds served too cold will taste horribly tannic so serve at room temperature but light reds can benefit from being lightly chilled about 20 minutes in the cooler.
