The culinary world is made up of bustling kitchens, medleys of flavor, and palettes of colors that form an artistic dance on our plates. At the heart of this world, especially on the sandy shores of New Jersey, is a figure who encapsulates far more than just the magic of mixing ingredients. Marilyn Schlossbach stands as a beacon, not just of culinary prowess but also as a symbol of community, sustainability, and creative collaboration. As far more than an acclaimed chef, Schlossbach is a visionary restaurateur and humanitarian who uses her culinary talents to uplift communities. Her restaurants are establishments that redefined the Jersey Shore’s culinary scene, yet her impact extends far beyond the plate.

A Culinary Connoisseur with a Cause

Having sizzled and sautéed her way to the top, Schlossbach is the proud owner of the Marilyn Schlossbach Group, which boasts numerous venues that have tantalized the palates of many. The names Langosta Lounge, Asbury Park Yacht Club, and Whitechapel Projects are not just establishments but institutions in their own right, resonating with stories of flavorful dishes, curated events, and boundless creativity.

However, what truly sets Schlossbach apart is her unyielding drive for community upliftment. Rooted in the heart of her establishments, like the not-for-profit Food For Thought By The Sea, is a commitment to sustainability. With initiatives that range from community gardening to surf lessons with local youth clubs, Schlossbach’s endeavor isn’t just about food. It’s about feeding souls.

Schlossbach recent brainchild, Sidepiece at Whitechapel Projects, is a culinary nod to adaptability. As the name suggests, it’s the delicious side act to the main event, reflecting the malleability and resilience that Schlossbach’s ventures have become known.

Stirring Sustainability with Style
Whitechapel Projects, a brainchild borne from the vision of Preston Casertano and a love for adaptive reuse, found its beating heart when Schlossbach came on board. Transforming the iconic space, the team has crafted a place that bleeds art, music, gastronomy, and community. Here, every dish, every event, is an ode to local producers and global flavors, embodying Schlossbach’s belief in sustainability not just for the environment but for the soul and the purse.
​
“We need to forkin prioritize sustainability! Not just for the environment but also for our communities and our bank accounts…” Schlossbach passionately proclaims. Indeed, every dish, every venture, every collaboration she undertakes is a testament to this ethos.

Chocolates, Charities, and Community
Schlossbach’s ventures don’t end with her restaurants. The Cocoa Boat chocolate line is an indulgence that sweetens the soul, while Two River Mushroom Co. speaks to her belief in fresh, locally sourced produce. Her debut cookbook, Feed This Community, isn’t just a collection of recipes but a narration of community ties, with each of its eleven chapters dedicated to a charity.
​
Her philanthropic ventures during the COVID-19 pandemic, where she orchestrated the delivery of thousands of meals to local residents, is yet another feather in her cap, or should we say, another garnish on her dish!

Elixirs and Oils: Marilyn’s Ode to Beauty
Adding another dimension to her vast repertoire is Oshin Oil, a beauty product that champions the mighty moringa. Touted as the “miracle tree,” this skincare concoction promises to nourish and revitalize, much like Schlossbach does for her community. Every drop is a testament to Schlossbach’s commitment to quality, authenticity, and sustainability.
