Mel Cortellessa at Ernest & Sons was featured on Guy Fieri’s Diners Drive-ins & Dives. Quite the honor. Showing of old-time butcher skills and serving up some homemade beef jerky. Worked at the shop since he was 13. Bought the place from former councilman Sam Storino a few years back. Stop in for Mel’s superior sausage sandwich, the ‘Tailgater’.

Congrats to Gary Woerner and the team at Weichert Realtors… they’ve been recognized for their outstanding 30% increase of business…year over year on Brigantine Beach. These folks rock.

Maybe because they locked up all the best Brigantine Beach rentals?
