The Best Road Trip In New Jersey

It's called the "Anthony Bourdain Food Trail" and takes you on a nearly 300-mile road trip stopping at all the great restaurants that the late Anthony Bourdain visited while in New Jersey.

24/7 Tempo states:

Pay homage to the food culture of the Garden State by following in the footsteps of the late, great chef and food documentarian Anthony Bourdain. Begin with a deep-fried hot dog at Hiram’s Roadstand in Fort Lee, then stop for a cheesesteak at Donkey’s Place or Tony and Ruth’s in Camden. Hit the coast at Atlantic City for numerous stops including the highly-rated Dock’s Oyster House. Then head north for a diner-style dessert or breakfast at Lucille’s Country Cooking, a seafood feast at Kubel’s, and a pork roll at Frank’s Deli in Asbury Park.

Now is a good time to start planning your New Jersey food adventure. Have fun on your road trip!
