Travel Channel show shoots footage at two local staples

Ocean City Marlin Club President Franky Pettolina took Jack Maxwell, host of the television show “Booze Traveler,” on a boat ride through the inlet to see Assateague Island before stopping at a couple local establishments for an upcoming episode on the Travel Channel.

“I was apprehensive going in, but everyone involved, from the assistants, camera people to Jack were awesome and it was a great experience,” Pettolina said. “I will be curious to see how it all edits out. It was a pretty long day and was really cool to do.”

The hour-long reality show follows Maxwell, a cocktail connoisseur, as he travels around the world seeking people, places and cultures behind unique and popular alcoholic beverages.

“The episode was set around the fresh-squeezed orange crush,” Pettolina said. “They wanted to go to the place that made the original, so Harborside was on their list.”
