But what's considered the best restaurant in the Garden State for chili?

Well, according to the popular food publication LoveFood, the best place to go in New Jersey is Ocean Cafe, with locations in Long Branch and Shrewsbury.

Here's what the experts had to say about their top pick:

"It breaks chili tradition, using chunks of chicken rather than standard ground beef. The place has a health-focused ethos, and the lean chili is packed with beans and spices that give it just as much depth and warmth as a more typical dish."
