What do you think the best food/drink in NJ is?

We all know New Jersey gets a bad rap – but as you saw this week, the Little Town NJ owners don’t think so.

Little Town New Jersey has so much faith in the Garden State, that they’re opening a waterfront bar / restaurant that will not only focus on NJ flair – but feature as many great Jersey businesses, farmers, beer and wine producers as possible. We even took a 3-day trip to find them (day 1, day 2, day 3.)

But here’s two questions for you all:

When you think of New Jersey – What is the best, tastiest, favorite, most unique food or drink item? Or what about location?

In other words – if you had friends visiting the state for the first time – and wanted to impress them with something they can’t get anywhere but Jersey – what and where would that be?

Hoboken NJ

There isn’t much you can only get in NJ that isn’t done somewhere else in some shape or form. You can pick what was done first, like taffy or blueberries.
But I’d suggest highlighting some of NJ’s ethnic diversity or food that is done well in this area (Italian, Jewish). But it looks like these guys have a little bit of everything which is a nice start. Funnel cakes should be on the dessert menu, even though they’re from PA I think. My family enjoyed them on the boardwalk each summer. What about Orange Creams?

I agree with Biggies and Ruts Hut but let’s not forget the fabulous roast beef and mutz from Fiores. We’re also very creative in displacing all the mercury in this town.
