Bay Burger's Lobster Roll, Sag Harbor, NY

Over the years, definitely the best the Hamptons have to offer. No frills, low mayo, 100% knuckle and claw meat, and in-house made top cut buns. The tap beers in this old school beachcomber diner were a needed thirst quencher.

Pizza e Vino

With my parents, Kate and her boyfriend Justin visiting us in East Hampton, we decided to make it a homemade pizza night.  After creating a handful of personal sized varieties to snack on, we then came up with two fantastic pizzas.  The round pizza was a white pizza with extra virgin olive oil, heirloom tomatoes, jalapeños, feta and cracked pepper.  The rectangular pizza was a red sauce with green peppers, mozzarella and lean ground beef. These went perfectly with a few bottles of red and white wine.

The Haul

Good Fishin' off Montauk, L.I.

So my dad and I went fishing with Captain Ron out of Montauk, Long Island.  Within 20 seconds of dropping our first line, my father caught a 36 inch plus striper... a striped bass.  I then was able to pull in the largest catch of the day, another striped bass at 40 inches, seen above on the far left.  Throughout the day, we caught our 4 stripers (2 max each), 1 bluefish, 7 porgies and the 2 sea bass my father caught.  A great haul today, a beautiful morning and great time with my pops.
