New Jersey has always been primarily known for it's fruits and veggies. This is the Garden State, after all. However the eastern part, th e part that embraces the Atlantic also is knownn for its; foods. No matter where you go from Sandy Hook to Cape May you're bound to find fun and yummy food.
The one thing that amazes me about the Jersey Shore is the number of hot dog and hamburger stands. Ona recent trip through Monmouth Beach and neighboring Long Branch; I was astonished by the fact that every corner stand offered fast food. Of course in that area The Windmill. a family owned chain reigns supreme. They offer a whole cornucopia of ribe eye steaks, chicken,burgersand dogs. They sell the last two in vast quantities with people ordering two and three at a time. They evn have special rolls made for their super long hot logs. I love these however just fell in love with The Windmill's bacon burger.Even the bacon is grilled!
The Jersey shore has long attracted Italians (an d not the kind you see on the crass MTV show) and Italian restuarants abound. It's somehwat of a traditiion for th e North Jerseyians or bennies to always order a spaghetti and garlic bread dinner.Italian cuisine lends itself to seafood too and its' here in Monmouth. Atlantic Ocean and Cape May Counties where you'll get the best lobster fra diavolo and spaghetti with clam sauce.
Lately the Jersey Shore is making the news - unfortunately not for its' fun foods.When you visit , discover the vast wealth of stands and restaurant down there. It's the best vacation any foodie could ask for.
