When in Atlantic City… ☀️✈️ This destin When in Atlantic City… ☀️✈️ This destination was a FIRST for us. We soaked up the sun, played the slots and enjoyed the dining scene. Have y’all ever been?? One of the spots we visited was the remodeled @ballysac and its new restaurant, The Yard, just off the boardwalk. Live entertainment, creative dishes and crafted cocktails is the name of the game here. We met with the F&B director to nerd out about the curated tap list with local and national brewers, craft drinks and a gastro-pub style menu that hits all the senses. Our faves: ✔️ The People's Margarita from @therock with Teremana blanco tequila, pineapple, lime, agave and island salt. A portion of proceeds donated to the @surfrider foundation. (front drink pictured) ✔️ Strawberry ice cream sandwich with housemade sugar cookies and side of cotton candy 🍬 ✔️ The Influencer burger with slab bacon, Cheetos crumbs, smoked onions, tableside smoked cheddar fondue and jalepeños 🍔 ✔️ Charbroiled oysters fresh from the Atlantic Ocean 🦪 ✔️ AC Manhattan (see the “B”?) 🥃 P.S.- the very spacious outdoor beer garden with a retractable roof opens 7/1! If you hit up AC this summer, you’ll have a blast at The Yard! *hosted #dallasfoodnerd #travel #summertravel #ballysac #ballyshotel #visitatlanticcity #visitac #newjersey #foodnerdstravel

Sun’s out, buns out! 🍔 @hopdoddy sent us a no Sun’s out, buns out! 🍔 @hopdoddy sent us a nostalgia-themed care package in honor of some old favorites back on their menu, plus a bottle of their famous truffle aioli! (PS did you know you can buy their Hop Sauces in store? Game changer! 👀) We headed to the McKinney location for a lunch visit & got some of our favs, including: 🍔 El Diablo (pepper jack, roasted hablanos & serranos, caramelized onions, chipotle aioli sauce) 🍔 Magic Shroom (goat cheese, field mushrooms, basil pesto sauce) 🍔 Primetime (signature prime beef blend, fondue cheese, caramelized onions, truffle aioli sauce) 🍟 Truffle Parmesan Fries We topped it all off with some shakes (of the non-boozy variety…but only because it’s a weekday!). The Nutella Chocolate Pretzel was especially tasty.

Winner winner, chicken dinner! 🍗🐔 Recently t Winner winner, chicken dinner! 🍗🐔 Recently treated ourselves to one of our fav chicken joints, @mikeschickendallas You truly can’t get fresher, crispier fried chicken in Dallas—they don’t start battering until you place your order. That might mean you have to wait 20 minutes for your chicken…but boy, is it worth it. 🤤 Don’t sleep on the sides—we recommend the cream corn! BTW, we went to the longtime location on Maple, next to the JR Coin Laundromat, but did you know Mike’s has just opened a second location on Forest Lane?? 👀 #friedchicken #dallaschicken #bestfriedchickenindallas 📷: @amypyen

If there’s a carousel bar, we’re there! 🎠🍹 Dallas Food Nerd traveled to Atlantic City, and besides the beach and casinos, we also saw the newly remodeled @ballysac hotel off the boardwalk. ☀️ Inside the hotel you’ll find the new 360-degree rotating carousel bar! (Similar to what you’ve probably seen in NOLA.) 🎠 The bar floor rotates in a full circle within 11 minutes. So grab a drink and enjoy the ride! The funnel cake espresso martini and Merry Go Round cotton candy drinks are our top favorites! 🍸 🎡🎠 *hosted #dallasfoodnerd #carouselbar #atlanticcity #ballys #newjersey #visitnewjersey #travel #cocktails #ballysac
