LONG BRANCH, NJ — "Golden Bachelor" lovebirds Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist are in the midst of a Jersey Shore restaurant tour, and Gerry's documenting every spot on his Facebook page!
The newlyweds (they were just married Jan. 4) have been spotted up and down the Jersey Shore this week: On Tuesday night, Turner and Nist shared a romantic meal at Trama's Trattoria in Long Branch.
They were at the Americana diner in Shrewsbury Sunday morning, where Gerry was pictured about to dig into a huge portion of pancakes topped with bacon, eggs and hash browns. In December, they enjoyed a candlelit dinner for two at "Theresa's favorite restaurant in Sea Bright," Turner wrote. (He did not name the restaurant.)

Turner shared all the local eateries on his Facebook account, which is open to the public.
Before she met Gerry and became a household name on ABC's mega-hit, Nist lived in Shrewsbury, and she raised her children here. The newlyweds appear to be back in the Garden State at the moment, visiting Theresa's adult daughters, and other friends and family.

"This place is Golden," Gerry added.
