I think Jersey is the diner capital of the world.

Whether it's the perfect pork roll (or Taylor Ham in North Jersey) or the delectable disco fries that make the Garden State famous, all these diners have unique personalities and charm.

How did I narrow down the best to just 20?

It wasn't easy to get my list to an elite few, especially when so many exceptional eateries were in consideration.

There's even a curve ball thrown in there that I will likely get some blowback on.

I'm ready for it.

After all, we're from Jersey, and we don't mess around when it comes to our diners.

If you asked me to give you a list of diners you must visit, these would be the ones.

Come to think of it, a diner crawl sounds like a fantastic idea. Who's down?

The locations crisscross the state and will leave you hungry. Apologies in advance.

Listen, I realize this list isn't perfect for everyone. But that's where you come in.

I truly value the feedback from my listeners and readers. I take it very seriously.

Is there a glaring error?

Is there a Jersey diner staple that I left off the list? I promise it wasn't personal.

Please, by all means, let me know and reach out.

I'd also love to know if your favorite diner made the top 20 and how many you've been to.
