Down the Shore: Diving Horse Reopens for the Season
On the heels of Pub & Kitchen’s three-bell review comes word that co-owners Dan Clark and Ed Hackett are reopening their seasonal restaurant, the Diving Horse in Avalon for its fifth season.
Palmer Marinelli, who has cooked at the popular BYOB for the past four years will be the executive chef.
The Diving Horse opens this Saturday, May 24th and will serve dinner nightly through Labor Day. Marinelli, a South Jersey native, will serve a menu of coastal ingredients that will include many from nearby farms and Jersey Shore fishermen.
Dishes will change almost daily but will include:
