Longboard Café located in the Town Center on 67th Street, is owned by a familiar face in the Ocean City area, Rick Vach, who has lived in Ocean City since 1966 and has surfed since he was 8 years old. He grew up in the Ocean City restaurant business while his parents owned and operated Wild Goose Chase and the Quarterdeck. Vach officially entered the local food industry on his own when he opened a gourmet food store, Avalon Market, on Route 50 in West Ocean City that operated from 2005-2007, and in 2007 he opened the Island Time Café in Sunset Island in Ocean City. Vach has been contemplating opening a second year-round restaurant while the Island Time Café was a seasonal operation. He also looked to offer his creative menu to Ocean City as a whole since Island Time Café was based within the private community of Sunset Island. When the Town Center was announced, he couldn’t help but jump on the opportunity and moved the restaurant all together along with its popular menu to the new shopping center, calling it the Longboard Café. “We got really popular and a lot of locals were trying to get in, but they couldn’t, so we thought it would be a good move to bring it out to the real world,” he said. The Town Center is exactly what Ocean City needed, Vach said, and was happy to be able to work in conjunction with the project’s architect to design the interior of the restaurant. Longboard Cafe, of course, features a surf theme décor from the ground floor seating to the loft seating upstairs, and a tin roof bar outlined in bamboo and illuminated with Mexican lanterns. It seats 75 indoor plus outdoor seating on the front deck. “The idea was to have a very approachable menu with really good food,” Vach said. “A lot of these items here are proven popular good sellers from my previous food selling endeavors.” Vach lived in Southern California for about 10 years, so he couldn’t help but add a Mexican twist to his menu concept. He pointed out the Baja Fish Tacos have become the most popular menu item, stemming from a traditional recipe from South California/Mexico with beer-battered fresh cod, shredded cabbage, pico de gallo, Mexican white sauce, roasted tomato salsa and lime wedges. Vach also pointed out the gourmet burgers that are made of half-pound of CBS (chuck, brisket and short rib meat) blend of meat on a toasted brioche bun. There is a variety of 10 burgers in all from their own Longboard burger with spicy-sweet bacon, horseradish cheddar cheese, lettuce, onion and a medium fried egg to the Short Board burger with simply lettuce, tomato and onion. Additionally, Vach was quick to point out a couple hot selling salads, which Vach said included the Baja salad made of chopped greens, SEE NEXT PAGE HAPPY HOUR DAILY 3 P.M.-6 P.M.
