Dockside Diner has been a Long Beach Island staple for over a decade, with thousands of satisfied customers walking through its doors every season. Proudly women-owned-and-operated, Dockside serves breakfast, lunch and dinner to LBI’s growing number of locals and visitors who keep coming back for more.
And thanks to chef Sara Terreros’s Sassy Southwestern Chowder—full of heat and flare inspired by the U.S. region, and infused with fresh fish—Dockside is also part of LBI Chowderfest’s Chowder Trail. Ahead of Chowderfest on October 1, you can hit the Chowder Trail and become a Traveling Taster, sampling chowders along the island and casting votes for your favorites. (Dockside is ready for your love in the “red” chowder category!) To register for the Chowder Trail—as well as download the Chowder Trail playlist, find lodging info, view event videos and peruse Chowderfest’s history—visit chowderfest.com.
LBI’s 34th annual Chowderfest on October 1 will feature live music, chowder for purchase, merchants, wine, seltzer, a variety of beer on tap, and surprise activities. The free event will conclude with an award ceremony announcing the 2022 champions.
Presented by the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce, which has been serving area businesses and visitors since 1914, LBI’s Chowderfest showcases the barrier island and its bayfront communities. The festival’s focus on locally sourced and sustainable ingredients, unique recipes, and pride of place creates a one-of-a-kind culinary adventure throughout early fall.
