Former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) on Washington Journal Primetime responds to a Republican New Jersey caller on why he refused to legalize marijuana during his tenure. The caller asks Christie why he is not in favor of legalization despite its benefits in treating certain medical conditions. Christie asks how medical marijuana has helped him, which the caller responds he did not qualify for the state's medical marijuana program that Christie approved. Christie then responds that the caller's conditions may not have been "too serious," and says, "I don't have one regret for not signing a bill to legalize marijuana in New Jersey." He adds, "I don't want people suffering from medical conditions needlessly, but I don't think having a headache every day is a reason for you to have marijuana. I don't think recreational use is correct."
There is a particular kind of burger place where the grill is practically part of the dining room, the menu has barely changed in decades, and nobody seems terribly concerned with whether the plate will look good in a photograph. New Jersey has more than its share of them. Some...
Every pig, goat, pony, and duck on this tiny farm came here for a second chance. Now they wait by the fences for kids holding bags of carrots and bread. The whole place fits on a small patch of New Jersey land. It opens only on weekend afternoons, which makes it feel like a secret club.
One steakhouse in New Jersey still builds your Caesar salad right beside the table. Then it does the same thing with Steak Diane and Bananas Foster, like dinner and a show rolled into one. That retro move is only one flavor of what I found while digging into this list....

Every month I write the tuition checks. Like most families in Lakewood, we don’t think of it as a choice. It’s what we do, the same way we pay the mortgage and the electric bill. But anyone who has sat at the kitchen table in November with a calculator knows how heavy it gets.
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.
Before the polls opened on Election Day, New Jersey Democrats had already built a 290,408-vote advantage over Republicans. That’s not a projection, a poll, or a calculation based on party registration. Those were actual ballots returned by voters, and while nobody knew precisely how they voted, the numbers gave Democrats an enormous head start before the first Election Day voter walked into a polling place.

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...
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...
