This place has some AWESOME BBQ. We waited 30 minutes for a seat for lunch, and everyone agreed it was worth that and more.
My sister who was living there for 2 years couldn't believe I found such good places to eat!!! from the other side of the country.

[melstang06]

This is one of the coolest shows that Food Network has!!!  Some of the food that he gets to eat just looks to die for!  I think this past weekend he had a show about mexican food - place in Utah that I would love to check out, something like Killer Iguana or something like that.  I think there was a place in Pittsburgh too - wonder if Don knows of it?

[melstang06]

Chris & I have eaten at 2 of those places you have listed, LOL!!!  Mustache Bills in Barnegat Light back in the summer, & the Skylark Diner in Edison about a month or so ago - he has friends that live not too far from there so on our way home we stopped there. 

We used to eat at the Hightstown Diner when my dad & I would go to the races on Friday nghts in East Windsor. 

So many places that Guy needs to eat at in Jersey, LOL!!!

Oh he did a whole Jersey tour. Like 5 places in one day. I am sure it took longer to film. but still the concept is cool.
After seeing all these great places to eat, I am definely adding Jersey to my list of possible places to move, if the nuclear plant community grows like they say it will in 5 years

I remember that episode!  Bad thing was that most of them were in North Jersey but there are a ton down here in the south.  So many diners & dives & we still have a few drive ins too!!!

◘Most everyone slowly stepped in and had that excited, yet quiet look on their face.
Once the food came we were in shock. Real gourmet pulled pork sandwiches, hot links, and garlic fries with shredded parmesan cheese on top??? I don't think I could have eaten that chicken apple sausage any faster.

[silverjay]

I will ahve to try those when I head up there this fall/winter

[Linda_Sn]

El Paseo and Palm Canyon Drive both look good for shopping. What is the difference between them?
