Well, it is time for Best Beaches. We love this segment when we get to shore and you know who gets to go to the shore today, Tony Caput. Oh, what do you got there, Tony? Is that, is that, what is that? What is he eating? I'm still eating. I got the pork roll, egg and cheese going. Uh I mean, you got ham, egg and cheese, whatever you prefer, you guys fight it out. I don't care what you call it. I got some great coffee. Look, I got Johnny. I got Bobby here, the owners of Jersey Roll and Lobster Lounge here right on the boardwalk right across from casino here. John Bobby's cooking it up right now. Look, this place is hopping already. What, what is it about this place? Step. It's a special in a big part of seaside. We're known for. It's called pork roll. It's definitely pork roll. Not Taylor ham. When you come to this place, it's pork roll and you know it, but that's what we're known for. That's how we started. That's why people come here. I'll tell you I'm having one that's delicious. Rudy devoured his a little earlier. And Bobby's cooking them up right now. And I'm gonna guess that you're the type of place for the Jersey roll that has its regulars in the morning. You got your regular guys in here. Oh, yeah, we got our crew that come in morning. This place opens up at 7 a.m. but they're here hanging out at 6 a.m. daily and they kind of get the place rolling for you, open up ready to go that whole tradition. Now, Lobster Lounge is upstairs. Tell me about that. So you kind of have the breakfast and then you have the lunch and dinner, right? Yeah. So the breakfast we've been doing here down on the boardwalk for seven years, we took the bar over last year. So now we're bar and grill with the pork roll. We took over the restaurant upstairs this year. So it's a seafood nice sit down restaurant overlooks the boardwalk, the ocean. It's a beautiful view. Fantastic before you wrap all those up. Let Rudy get a good shot at that. I mean, I just glanced over and looked at that and I was like, dang, that looks good. That is fantastic. Molly. Nice job again. It's Jersey road.com, Lobster Lounge, nj.com for best beaches here in Seaside and can be it where you show those guys out there. I mean, these are the right. They're the ones that greeted us when we walked in. You talk about funny. My goodness, Sabbath Lauren, these guys will crack you up, man if you can take it real quick. The dirty Italian sandwich. That's a winning sandwich, right? Tell me about that. I want a winning sandwich. Yeah. Mamma Park a couple of years ago we won best on a bun. The best sandwich. The dirty Italian. And you guys thought we were just talking about me. Well, you're talking about a great sandwich. The best beaches, seaside heights. Love it. Looking right out of Casino Pier. We'll send it back to you.

Tony Caputo is visiting a seaside heights today and playing some many go to a good gig this morning. This is the golf. I need to stick with just mini golf. The regular golf, forget it. The ball doesn't move. I can't hit it straight. I throw a club and I'm just po, as they say in Jersey. Right? Well, they're a little, a little worse than that. Maria is with us here. She is the marketing director at Casino Pier. I mean, it's just so beautiful being up here on the roof, you look around, you see everything. You got the beautiful ferris wheel behind us and the roller coaster and everything else. But Maria love your kids are here too. Your two beautiful daughters are here. They are a little camera shy on us, but we'll see if they warm up. Kids love to come up on the roof like this and play a little miniature golf when I was young. I always look forward to and these are kind of our easy course which is nice. And then you get to see all the sites which they love, you know, you're up top and little kids, they feel like they're giants up here. Yeah. Right. You get that great. Look at the Ferris Wheel and everything else. We'll show you in a moment. You say this is the easy course because there's another course. Yeah, we smugglers across the street there and I like that when it's caves and mountains and waterfalls, it feels like you're in Disney World. I always say that one's a little more difficult but you know, people have a difficult for you. Right. Exactly. I stink. But that's just, you know, that's just me. Maria Casino Pier is a happening place all summer long. Yes, we have so much to do. We have the water park, we have go karts, mini golf rides, food, drinks, anything you want. All the fun could be here. And I don't know, Maria, I'm not that bad. Come on. I mean that you got farther. Plus you have a couple of cocktails and you know, you need the easy ones like this. I also feel very tall standing up here right now. Maria, thank you very much. We're going to show off the pier in a little bit that's coming up here. Best beaches, seaside heights, the beautiful iconic boardwalk, ladies, we will send it back to you. All right, Tony needs to work on his mini golf game a little bit. And Maria's got to get her kids. My kids are actually friends with Maria's kids. Tell her that we say hi. You look so cute.

All right. It is time for news. Twelve's best beaches. And this morning we're visiting one of the Jersey shore iconic boardwalk news from New Jersey. Sony Caputo is in Seaside Heights this morning. And Tony, what are you going to do right now? Please tell me you're going to go on a ride. I'm not going on any rides. As a matter of fact, I told Maria, so the marketing director here for a casino pier, I wouldn't go on this ride right here. This is sky coaster. I wouldn't go on it for a million dollars. If Maria handed me a check for a million, I would say no, I'd give it back to you. I want no part, I've seen people on that ride but it is so popular. There will be a lot of people that will take that million dollars. I want no part of that new ride over here though. Zero gravity. Tell us about that should open very soon. It's kind of like a gravitron. You stick to the walls and the super cool thing at night. You could kind of see the silhouette of people you're watching the ride, so you'll see the shadow kind of thing on the side. So that's really cool. Lights up like all of our rides. So that should be fun. Hopefully opening soon. Fantastic. Now, I was telling you, I have so many memories from being here at Casino Pair when I was little, bringing my girls here when they were little. Maria's girls are over here hanging out with us as well. But what ride would you say is the most popular ride here? I definitely would say Music Express. I mean, just going fast spinning around backwards, the DJ playing music. It's fun for all ages, young, old, never can get old. Maria. Great job. Fantastic Casino Pier, Rudy. I'm coming over to you because look, you got the awesome Ferris wheel here behind that, the coaster. It just is so much fun. You know, you pay your one price and you're here all day. The kids go wild as a parent. You just sit back, relax, let them run around. It's fantastic. Best beaches here. Seaside heights. Look, you just can't beat the iconic boardwalk.
