Thrasher's French Fries
Since 1929, the rules are the rules: a bucket, apple-cider vinegar, salt — and no ketchup. Don't ask. The line moves fast and the gulls are watching (see your Gull-dex: threat level ★★★★★).
Fisher's Popcorn
Copper kettles since 1937. The caramel corn smell two blocks downwind is the boardwalk's oldest advertisement.
Dolle's Candyland
Taffy pulled on this corner since 1910. Survived the 1925 fire era, the storms, and the internet. Buy the box; it flies home better than fudge.
Dumser's Dairyland
Ice cream made since 1939 — order at the Boardwalk & Wicomico stand where it all started. Vanilla-orange loyalists and hot-fudge people have argued here for eighty years.
Kohr Bros. Frozen Custard
The original frozen custard, invented 1919. The vanilla-orange swirl is the taste of every OC childhood since the Coolidge administration.

Tony's Pizza
Family slice joint since 1962 — the late-night anchor of the north boards. Fold it, walk, repeat.
14th St & Boardwalk.
The Fractured Prune
Hot donuts dipped to order — glazes named after OC streets. The one modern member of the canon, admitted on merit.
The Dough Roller
Finish at the 3rd St original: pizza-and-pancakes, family-run since 1980. Complete the crawl and the *Boardwalk Belly* badge is yours. We're proud of you and slightly concerned.
