Somewhere in Monroe Township, New Jersey, there’s a gray food truck sitting in a gravel lot, and it’s quietly making people question every other meal they’ve ever eaten. Bearded One BBQ isn’t asking for your attention, but once you find it, you’re going to have a very hard time thinking about anything else.
Venture into Lilla Vanilla Cake Shop and you'll find a sweet collection of cupcakes, French Macaroons and jumbo cookies.
A New Jersey photographer looked through almost 6,000 menus to see what each place calls the breakfast sandwich. The result is an interactive map of the state’s great divide. One of New Jersey’s never-ending wars is the one between Taylor Ham and Pork Roll. Traditionally speaking, those in North...

A farmhouse built back in 1740 now serves soft egg yolk ravioli under vaulted ceilings. Yeah, I’m definitely looking twice at that. The old house sits on a classic downtown street in New Jersey. Inside, curved Venetian plaster ceilings rise over antique pine floors and European antiques. What gets...

A sticky red berry on a common hedge is actually a fleshy cup, and the hard seed tucked inside carries one of the strongest plant poisons in the yard. I had walked past these shrubs for years without noticing that tiny open window at the top of each one. Robins...
A bowl of Cajun macaroni and cheese might seem like an unlikely companion to Princeton’s ivy-covered reputation. Add chicken, andouille sausage, bacon, and a spicy cheese sauce, though, and suddenly the town’s more buttoned-up image can take the afternoon off. At Winberie’s Restaurant & Bar, that balance between...

TRENTON — New Jersey drivers are being urged to watch for deer as mating season brings more animals onto roads and shorter days reduce visibility during busy commuting hours.

OCEAN CITY — It was a nearly five-hour fight in Tom’s Canyon that moved Eric McDowell, his crew and boat three miles during the process, but on Nov. 4 he landed what may be the biggest swordfish ever weighed in New Jersey. In his Valhalla 37, McDowell caught...
Shark teeth from the age of dinosaurs are hiding in a few New Jersey streams, and you don’t need a ticket to go looking. I can’t get over that. A kitchen strainer and some patience might be the only gear standing between you and a real piece of prehistory.
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...
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.

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.
