In February, Ocean Casino Resort announced a partnership with celebrated chef and restaurateur Michael Schulson to bring two fine-casual concepts to Ocean’s Casino Resort’s culinary roster.

Pearl & Mary and Samuel’s were both set to open this summer. They were to be the first of four new eateries he would eventually open in Ocean Casino.

That is no longer the plan.

Micheal Schulson has changed his mind about opening four new restaurants in Ocean Casino Resort.

Schulson says he reconsidered the move to keep the Jersey Shore as a place where he can come and relax with his family, according to the Philadelphia Business Journal.
