UNCLE BILL'S
The Famished Foodie embraces this classic OC tradition with friends and family
T
HE Ocean City Fall Block Party has become an Ocean City tradition in our squad; a chance to catch up with people we may have missed over summer and to make new friends. Together with the Indian Summer Weekend on the Boardwalk, early October is a magnificent time to be in the OC. So when it came to picking a breakfast spot to meet up with our extended crew, I chose Uncle Bill’s Pancake House at 21st and Asbury. Uncle Bill’s, like Block Party, is a tradition in America’s Greatest Family Resort. I chose UB’s because I know UB’s will deliver the proper OC vibe that sets the tone for the whole weekend and gets everybody in that six-oh-nine mindset. We had a full crew; myself Tony Stark, genius billionaire philanthropist; Pepper Potts, the glue that holds it all together; Captain America Steve Rogers; Bruce
Banner (don’t make him angry), and Natasha Romanoff (aka Black Widow, Black Wid or B.Wid) PLUS we had two more superstars with us, Antman and The Wasp. So we fell out of our cars rolled into UBPH like a runaway locomotive. “No worries,” said Uncle Bill’s (Figuratively. Or perhaps metaphorically). “You’re not the first group of rambunctious superheroes in our place; table for seven right there.” BAM, we were seated and our lovely server Ashley was bringing us water and making us comfortable. I’ve got my out-of-town peeps with me and of course I want to show them the best side of OC. I always have good experiences at UB’s and, before we even ate, this episode

of the Famished Foodie was on track to deliver a rousing how-do-you-do. I zeroed in on my go-to breakfast dish (it’s a weekend of tradition, not trying new stuff), Kelly’s Favorite; two poached eggs served over Hatfield ham on an English muffin topped with Uncle Bill’s hollandaise sauce, and served with home fries. The generic name is eggs benedict and UB does a nice job with it. Pepper Potts ordered the Greek omelet with spinach, tomatoes, and feta cheese. “I like how they make the omelets here,” she said. Black Wid ordered the strawberry pancakes with strawberries folded inside three large pancakes with more strawberries and whipped cream on top. Cap ordered an All-American breakfast of two pancakes, two eggs, sausage, and toast. Hulk ordered up enough pancakes that they completely filled the plate when they arrived. The strawberry pancakes were overflowing with strawberries and luckily the B.Wid
