When they opened, I gave them a year. By my estimates, they lasted almost five. My prediction was made not out of spite, but considering what type of food would actually be successful in this area. Actually, I was quite excited when Inkanto Latin American Fusion (leaning Peruvian) arrived in Hazlet. It was a touch…

The food at China Palace was delicious, but in case you forgot you were eating in a bowling alley, drinks came in these sick retro cups. Brings me back! “Limited Edition 1991 Design”. The year I was born.
Restaurant Review: The Buttered Biscuit (Bradley Beach, NJ)
I tend to have a love-hate relationship with high-end breakfast places. Sometimes I find one that I really like, while most often I am left wishing I had just gone to a diner instead. With an overwhelming fan-base, including my own mother, I was not expecting The Buttered Biscuit in Bradley Beach to fall into…

A rare vegan dish for me: spicy lentil soup with garlic, tomato, and coriander, with a drizzle of chili oil on top for some added spice.

I’ve had a lot of excellent meals at Nonna’s, but this Chicken Giambotta outdoes them all. I asked for extra spicy and they delivered. Tender chicken, a flavorful and spicy sauce, crispy potato chips with rosemary, and tons of hot cherry peppers. I tried to replicate it myself a week later.
Red Bank’s The Globe is Worth Being Written About Twice
I posted my first review of The Globe two years ago. I had stopped in for a quick lunch and drink with a friend and was inspired to give them a good rating. I also felt that I had to dispel the notion that this was a “dive bar”. It is not and probably never…
Matawan’s Pride of the Sea and a Social Media Explosion
Let me start out by saying that this blog is in no way affiliated with Matawan’s new Pride of the Sea Fishery. Nor is this blog affiliated with any of its competitors or has anything against the business or its owner. This blog is independent. While I focus mostly on restaurant reviews and food pictures,…
February Was the Busiest Month Ever
January was great, but February was even better. I am happy to say that Eating New Jersey has been off to a great start thus far in 2019. Despite scaling back and putting “Photo of the Day” on hold (it resumes tomorrow), we managed to have our busiest two months ever. Much of that has…
Restaurant Review: Prince St. Cafe (Lancaster, PA)
They say it is hard to get a good pizza in Pennsylvania. As for me, it has been difficult to get good coffee! Diners aside, which put out competent coffee similar to what I can get here in New Jersey, the Keystone State’s cafe scene seems to be a bit lacking. Justin and I were…
Restaurant Review: Huck’s Tavern (Lancaster, PA)
I have reviewed Huck’s Tavern once before. It was a culmination review based on many visits with my parents that included mainly stops for drinks and snacks, and one actual meal. I have always enjoyed my experiences in the bar/restaurant inside the Fulton Steamboat Inn. It is still my favorite hotel to stay at in…
Restaurant Review: Vic’s Wayside Inn (Ronks, PA)
For years, I drove past Vic’s Wayside Inn thinking that from the outside it looked like a stereotypical locals only bar where everyone would turn around and look at you when walking in. Maybe even the music would stop too. As Justin and I entered, I still thought that would be the case. But I…
Travel PA 2019 Part 1: Finally Exploring Lancaster City
With a couple of restaurant reviews from this recent trip already up, I wanted to tackle Lancaster City. As I have said, I’ve spent my entire life visiting Lancaster (since I was in the womb). When I went with my parents, we always stayed in the country and hardly ever ventured into the city. I…
