⚓ this week on LBI: 2/5/26

Mornin’!

We’ve gotten some great chef applicants so far and will be keeping the application open for another few weeks. As a refresher… we’re in search of entrepreneurial chefs with a passion for creative cooking to collaborate on a supper club. If this sounds like you, please fill out this quick form with some info on yourself and we’ll get back to you with additional details!

Speaking of eating... LBI Restaurant Week continues though Sunday. It’ll be bitter cold this weekend so why not cozy up in a nice, toasty restaurant?

Now, here’s what’s happening this week…
