Earlier today, Buddy ‘Cake Boss’ Valastro celebrated the grand opening of Buddy’s Boardwalk Empire at Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, sweet surprises, and more.
Guests on opening day enjoyed an exclusive meet-and-greet with Valastro and his family, along with the chance to purchase autographed merchandise such as t-shirts, aprons, and mugs. They also savored bakery pizzas, gourmet sandwiches, and iconic desserts from Carlo’s Bakery.
“We’re excited to officially welcome guests to Buddy’s Boardwalk Empire at Harrah’s Resort,” said Gregg Klein, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Harrah’s Resort. “Combining the best elements of Buddy V’s restaurants, this unique dining concept is already becoming a favorite in our outstanding lineup of dining offerings at Harrah’s Resort Atlantic City.”
“As a Jersey native, I’m thrilled to bring the Boardwalk experience to Harrah’s Resort,” said Valastro. “At Buddy’s Boardwalk Empire, we’re serving up a slice of Jersey with every bite, perfectly complementing the vibrant spirit of Harrah’s. From our fresh mozzarella and pasta to our mouthwatering sandwiches and signature cakes, every dish creates an unforgettable dining experience for our guests in Atlantic City.”
The new concept, introduced by Buddy Valastro’s Restaurant Group, offers a tempting array of Jersey-style sandwiches, a diverse selection of pizzas, an innovative pasta station, and Valastro’s iconic desserts and cakes, fresh from New Jersey’s own Carlo’s Bake Shop.
Buddy’s Boardwalk Empire is a testament to Harrah’s Resort’s commitment to providing unique and memorable dining experiences for its guests. The addition enhances the resort’s diverse culinary offerings and solidifies its position as a premier dining destination in Atlantic City.
Buddy’s Boardwalk Empire is located in the Grand Lobby at Harrah’s Resort.
