Description

Step onto the boardwalk and into a story more than a century into the making. In this episode, I'm joined by Meryl Vangelov, who lovingly stewards her family's iconic candy shop—Shriver's, the oldest business on the Ocean City, NJ boardwalk. From saltwater taffy to the scent of fresh fudge wafting through the summer air, Shriver's is pure Americana.

Together, we explore the legacy of this beloved sweet shop, the magic of summer by the shore, and why the traditions we carry forward matter. Whether you're nostalgic for family beach trips or fascinated by old-fashioned craftsmanship, this conversation is a celebration of taste, tradition, and timeless charm.
