originally published: 03/14/2024

(ATLANTIC CITY, NJ) /PRNewswire/ -- Atlantic City is getting an all-new treat. Buddy 'Cake Boss' Valastro will open Buddy's Boardwalk Empire at Harrah's Resort Atlantic City in early summer 2024. This brand-new concept from Buddy Valastro's Restaurant Group will offer guests a tempting array of Jersey-style sandwiches, a diverse selection of pizzas, an innovative new pasta station, and of course, Valastro's iconic desserts and cakes fresh from New Jersey's own Carlo's Bake Shop.

Buddy's Boardwalk Empire is the latest creation by celebrity chef Buddy Valastro and is set to become a popular favorite in the outstanding lineup of dining offerings at Harrah's Resort Atlantic City. This innovative concept combines the best elements of The Boss Cafe by Buddy Valastro, Buddy's Jersey Eats, and PizzaCake by Buddy Valastro in Las Vegas, creating a unique and immersive culinary experience. Taking the very best, most popular items from their respective menus, restaurant-goers can expect to dine on the popular Jersey Roast Beef focaccia-style sandwich and bakery pizza from The Boss Cafe, while enjoying watching house-made 'mutz' made daily before their eyes; enjoy hot-from-the-oven East Coast pizza with unique flavor profiles from PizzaCake; and be transported to the boardwalk with a variety of Italian fair favorites from Jersey Eats. Unique to this location, guests can also dine on a variety of fresh pastas. Because no Valastro concept would be complete without his signature desserts, sweet-lovers can delight in a variety of pastries and sweet treats including cannoli, Buddy's famous Lobster Tail pastries and more from Carlo's Bake Shop. With its unique concept and outstanding menu offerings, Buddy's Boardwalk Empire is sure to become a must-visit destination for locals and visitors alike.

"We're incredibly excited to welcome Buddy's newest venture to Harrah's," said Gregg Klein, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Harrah's Resort. "His innovative approach to combining traditional Italian fare with the authentic Atlantic City spirit perfectly complements our commitment to producing exceptional experiences for our guests. This all-new, unique dining concept, further strengthens Harrah's position as the destination in AC for cutting-edge culinary offerings."

"I'm so excited to launch a brand-new concept in my home state and bring the best bites from my restaurants in Vegas," says Buddy Valastro. "Buddy's Boardwalk Empire is another great step forward in my relationship with Caesars Entertainment and our development of fun dining concepts with Buddy Valastro's Restaurant Group.  I can't wait to open and bring out the famiglia!"

The all-new addition will be located in main lobby at Harrah's Resort.
