NJ.com published The Jersey Shore Ice Cream Trail… my only objection is Day’s, as they don’t make their own; it’s all about the old-time vibe there, imo. I don’t know about many of the others south of me (Monmouth) but I know my other favorites are making their flavors in-house.
I heard more than a rumor that Chef Zod Arifai is back in Montclair… can’t find a thing about this online but the info came via someone who was at a tasting ‘for his new place.’ Anyone else heard this or have more intel?? Zod is a phenomenally talented and creative chef and I was sad when Blu and Next Door closed when I was still living in NNJ.
Don’t forget “The Duke and The Elephant” stint in Martinsville!
Oh, I was there more than a few times…! And then he was in NYC at Wicked Jane.

Zod Arifai, the former owner of the popular restaurants Blu, Next Door and Wicked Jane, is set to open this new elevated Italian restaurant in October. Pizza, pasta and desserts will all be made in house.
This is exciting news! I miss Blu.
