One of the greatest food critics and culinary journalists in the history of southern New Jersey, Ed Hitzel, suffering a very sudden death approximately 11 years ago.

At that time, Carmen Marotta was becoming an increasingly frequent cohost on his show, TABLE FOR ONE. Consequently, The Tony Mart Family became active in producing a radio show that focused on restaurants, cooking and wine, but expanded it into the music of the Tony Mart Legacy.

With the assistance of Harry & Don Hurley, affiliated with WPG, this became a reality that has become the highest ranking Saturday afternoon talk show at 12:00pm weekly: Tony Mart Presents Music, Food, Fun, Travel: Let the Good Times Roll!

In the 10 years that have transpired since the inception of the weekly talk radio show, Tony Mart Presents has increased its production of concerts with further development of Mardi Gras On The Boardwalk, the FREE Boardwalk concert series that initiated approximately 15 years ago.

In 2025, Tony Mart Cares Inc., our nonprofit community service organization became the producers of Legacy Concerts on the Beach in Somers Point, now in its 33rd year.

Several years ago, Tony Mart Presents reintroduced The Jersey Gumbo Cookoff & Louisiana Music Festival, which has become exponentially successful in July at the beautiful tiki bar and tropical nightclub, The Point, located at 998 Bay Avenue, at the site of the former Bay Shores Nightclub, across from the original Tony Marts on the historic Somers Point bay front.

The Jersey Gumbo Cookoff & Louisiana Music Festival continues its focus featuring extensive information on favorite restaurants and eateries along with extensive information about the amazingly FREE concerts, which are produced in both Somers Point and Atlantic City as the premiere FREE headline concert series at the Jersey shore each summer.

The radio show now features detailed information and very interesting, amusing & fascinating interviews regarding the performances and the careers of the musical artists; travel to major musical events such as New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, and back in Jersey, Michael Arnone's Crawfish Festival in Sussex County. Occasionally, the show features savory details of the last of the 'real deal' Americana restaurants, BBQ's, 'road food' and traditions which we are still able to enjoy for over 45 years.

In addition to updating and encapsulating all of these activities produced by Tony Mart Presents and Tony Mart Cares Inc., the radio show has become focused on the fabulous wines of the world and the significant values offered by Circle Liquor Store, our premiere sponsor, as curated by the wine master at Circle, Chester Malloy, the First Lady of Circle Liquor, the lovely Jeanette Giemza, and Tony Marts own sommelier, Julia Stacy Reilly, AKA the 'wine goddess'.

With so much content and detail as to how to enjoy life it's no wonder that the radio show is consistently polling the #1 most listened to show our time slot by large margins!

It's all about celebrating positive good times in life! Tune in and remember that you can get the weekly broadcasts live in real time by merely clicking on WPG in the top right corner.

Let the good times roll!

Our community service exempt foundation, Tony Mart Cares, Inc., which produces the concerts in Somers Point, is again conducting a “Super Supporter Campaign” giving out posters, tee shirts schedules, autographs, and all kinds of meet and greet opportunities in exchange for donations of $50 or more.
