I work with a group of wing loving maniacs. Atomic Rob, who works in Promotions, Afternoon Drive Guy, “The Real Deal” Jimmy Steal, Morning RAT, Carl Craft, and Gotts, who usually eats his wings out of a dumpster behind Bar Anticipation after consuming the bar’s entire supply of Miller Lite.
We all have our favorite wing places on the Shore, which you can read about right here.
If for some reason we couldn’t get to our favorite places outside of Belmar while working the 9 to 5 slave drive, we have local favorites that are within walking distance of The RAT.
Now I don’t get to leave the building during the normal time most people eat lunch because I am on the air from 10am to 3pm.
However, my colleagues, Jimmy, Carl, Rob, Snackie Jackie, our promo Goddess, Kylie, Connor, and other assorted members of the RAT Pack are free to leave the building whenever they decide it’s time for lunch.
Occasionally one of them will ask me if I want anything. I rarely eat lunch unless I’m starving, or they are going to a place in the area that I love.
Wings are hard for me to eat on the air. They are messy and I’d wind up having to engineer my radio show with sticky saucy fingers. I don’t think my colleagues or our engineer, Bill would be too happy about that.
I can always wait until I get off the air at 3 pm to grab some mighty fine chicken wings at several places in the Belmar area.
I know for a fact there are nearly a dozen places within walking distance of the RAT that I’d gladly walk into and order a delicious plate of wings.
I’m going to cover the Top 8. Let’s make our way through the Belmar- Lake Como neighborhood, and get us some wings.
Bar Anticipation - 703 16th Ave, Lake Como, NJ 07719
Gotts’s home away from home and a fine place to grab some fantastic wings. Served fried or grilled. Your choices are many, from traditional , to Garlic Parmesan, Gochujang, Sweet Chili, Teriyaki, BBQ, and more.
