Congratulations to Crust & Crumb Bakery, Beach Haven

Congratulations to Crust & Crumb Bakery, Beach Haven on being
Named to the INTERNATIONAL To 10 List of the World's Best Beach Foods
by Concierge.com and as currently featured on www.msNBC.com

On most beaches, the best food you'll get is something fried, served with a side of something else fried. Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course: To eat greasy French fries (or fried clams, or even fried dough) on the beach is human. But to eat tender grilled octopus and wash it down with a cold cerveza while digging your toes into the powdery sand of Mexico's Pacific Coast—well, that's divine. Our list of contenders for the world's best beach food contains its share of classic fried goodies and seafood, as well as some less-familiar seaside delicacies, such as the traditional English breakfast preferred by Cornwall's surfing set, cool and creamy salads served on a shady patio overlooking the north coast of Mykonos, and what may be America's best—and definitely its largest—cheeseburger. Whether it's prepared in a roadside shack or a gleaming modern kitchen, this is beach food sublime enough to compete with an ocean view.

Here's what they had to say -
Elephant ears on the Jersey Shore
The beach: Beach Haven, New Jersey
The place: Crust and Crumb Bakery, a family-owned beachside institution
The dish: Elephant ears, fried dough coated in cinnamon and sugar
The old-fashioned elephant ear is classic boardwalk food: an irregular flat disk of deep-fried dough topped with butter, liberally sprinkled with a cinnamon-sugar mixture, and served piping hot. And Beach Haven, New Jersey, at the southern end of Long Beach Island, is classic Jersey Shore: an old-school American beach town that's a magnet for families from Philadelphia, New York City, and all the Jersey suburbs in between.
So it stands to reason that the combination of Beach Haven and elephant ear is a Proustian talisman of summertime Americana—and that's before taking into account the tiny family-run bakery, Crust and Crumb, that's been producing elephant ears and other baked goodies since 1987.
It's located within a Skee-Ball's throw of the town's low-key amusement park, Fantasy Island, and just two blocks from the wide, sandy beach. Beach Haven regulars insist that the official start of summer isn't June 21—it's the moment you get your first whiff of cinnamon-scented sea air on the beach near Crust and Crumb.
