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.
New Jersey has never been shy about its food opinions. Say “pork roll” or “Taylor ham” at a Garden State party, and you’ll quickly learn which end of the state everyone grew up in. Thanksgiving is no different. If you fill your plate here, you’ll likely find apple pie or apple crumble for dessert and […]

Thanksgiving means a break from the kitchen for plenty of Jersey Shore families this year. Twenty local restaurants are open and ready to do the cooking for you.
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...
A bacon, egg and cheese fried rice sounds like something dreamed up after midnight, not the sort of dish you expect to find sharing a menu with pristine sashimi and roasted Peking duck. At Xina in Bradley Beach, though, that combination makes perfect sense. The restaurant at 415 Main Street...
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.

Servers in dirndls carry plates of Jägerschnitzel past carved woodwork while a band gets ready to play. That scene happens off a busy New Jersey highway, which still makes me grin. The menu reads like a Bavarian grandmother’s recipe box. Spätzle, potato pancakes, sauerbraten, red cabbage, and venison all...
I appreciate a restaurant that gives you the view and the seafood without making you choose. Boats pull up to the dock while plates of mussels Fra Diavolo land on the tables nearby. That’s a normal afternoon at this New York seafood spot, where a working marina sits right beside the dining room.
