If there’s one thing I missed about my home state, it is the diners. There are more diners in New Jersey than there are in the other 49 states combined. Each diner has its’ own distinct feel, specialty dish and waitstaff personality. This summer, I have made it my mission to find out what it is that makes Jersey diners infamous. I am prepared to travel north, south, east, west, from the shore, to the farms and the suburbs to find which diner reigns supreme.
I’ve chosen 4 diner classics: burger & fries, a Greek entrée (either spanikopita or moussaka), pancakes, and omelettes.
I’ll get to know the waitstaff and learn their personalities (every Jersey diner-goer remembers their favorite diner waitress…the one with the long fake nails, big hair, and too much makeup, who loves calling you “sweetie” or “hun”). Sure, this will only add to the workouts I have planned for this summer to keep in bikini-ready shape, but I know in the end the extra calories will be worth it.
So here it begins, my mission to find to find which diner has what it takes to be the ultimate Jersey diner.
This is so true lol. You really can't go a mile in NJ suburban or urban without passing some form of a diner. Check out Rainbow Diner down the shore!
