Somewhere in Pennsylvania, a restaurant has served the same baked clams since 1962, finished with a tangy red dot nobody fully explains. They arrive roasted whole in a one-of-a-kind steel tray. That alone had me curious. The owner started there as a teenage dishwasher. Years later, he bought the whole...

Peanut butter, bananas, and crispy bacon all show up together on one plate of French toast. That combo once belonged to a famous rock and roll legend’s snack habits. The dish is served inside a stainless steel railcar diner built around 1953 by the O’Mahony company. The breakfast has a backstory, and so does the building around it.
Every roll on the all-you-can-eat menu gets made only after you ask for it. No buffet trays here, and no sushi sitting under a heat lamp waiting for a brave soul. The menu runs deep, too. Sashimi, special rolls, gyoza, tempura, udon, and even green tea ice cream all fall under one flat price.
A pound cake can still be warm when it lands in your shopping bag. That alone should tell you what kind of place this is. The pretzels get twisted by hand and brushed with butter right in front of the counter. The line for them can stretch long, and nobody seems to mind.
Chili crisp, cheese, and honey on one pizza. Yeah, I’m definitely looking twice at that combo, and it’s one of the most unusual creations on the menu. The spot behind it landed on Food & Wine’s list of the nine hottest new pizzerias in the country. It was the only New Jersey pick on that list.
Asad's Hot Chicken is officially opening its first Cumberland County location with free food for 5 hours straight—get all the delicious details now!
Good barbecue runs on a clock, and in New Jersey that clock often stops well before dinnertime. Pulled pork takes hours of slow smoking, so once the day’s batch is gone, the kitchen can’t just whip up more. That’s why some of the best smokehouses in the Garden...

A New Jersey town has ended its 153-year alcohol ban with 60.4% of voters approving sales, yet residents of the area are divided over the BYOB culture.
A booth is fine, but a counter stool puts you right next to the griddle, the coffee pot, and the cook. New Jersey has more diners than almost anywhere, and some of the best still keep a long counter where solo eaters and regulars line up for breakfast. This list...
Peruvian food has a funny way of putting French fries where you least expect them. Order lomo saltado and they arrive tossed alongside seared beef, tomatoes, and onions, with white rice waiting on the same plate. Then there is ceviche sharpened with lime, rotisserie chicken darkened over charcoal, fried rice...
THC seltzers could vanish from NJ liquor store shelves Friday unless Gov. Mikie Sherrill signs S4635. Thursday may be your last easy pickup.
Necessity is the mother of invention. And in this New Jersey pizzeria’s case, the mother of a glorious, carb-loaded Frankenstein. You have probably seen gimmicky pizzas before. Toppings piled high. Crusts stuffed with cheese. Fun, but nothing that makes you stop and stare. This place serves the Triple Threat....
Planning dinner for a big group can be tricky, because everyone wants something different and somebody always gets bored waiting for food. Hibachi solves both problems at once. You sit around a big flat grill, a chef cooks steak, chicken, shrimp, and fried rice right in front of you, and...
