Common Lot in Millburn, H2Ocean in Cedar Knolls, Wegman's, Olive Lucy's in Morristown and Zach's Oak Bar in Hoboken

I have to lead off with the duck for two at Common Lot in Millburn which the chef had recommended when me and Leslie were there a few months back. You have to call at least one week beforehand but the call is well worth it. The chef orders a whole duck and then splits it up into a breast, chopped duck salad and a really strong duck fried rice.

For an appetizer the octopus was as meaty an octopus as I have ever had.  The meal closed with a nice apple tart and a ice cream made with goats milk and a drizzle of maple syrup which was as interesting a desert as I have had in a while.  Our board president had the venison which looked great.

 We enjoyed seafood at H2Ocean in Cedar Knolls with the Calabrese's. The blackened sea bass with asparagus wrapped bacon was tasty as was the Lobster Empanada at Olive Lucy's in Morristown.

 The biggest surprise was actually at Wegman's burger bar where I had a very tasty Shrimp po' boy with fries.

This morning we went to Zach's Oak Bar for Brunch and I had the salmon eggs benedict while Leslie had the chorizo breakfast burrito.
