After an extensive search, I have discovered the best chicken parmigiana in New Jersey, and you need to try it soon.

I Have Found New Jersey's Best Chicken Parmigiana

We are bold talkers in New Jersey, and we use the word "best" too often. But that is not what's happening here. This is really New Jersey's best chicken parmigiana.

If you knew me, you would know that the only times friends and family are surprised by what I order at a restaurant are when I don't order chicken parmigiana, and I've been doing that for decades.

So, when I say I have found the best chicken parmigiana in New Jersey, you can rest assured it isn't just words or the overuse of the word "best".

Graziano's Italian Restaurant has been a family-owned restaurant since 1966. It's the only restaurant that reminds me of the smell of my childhood kitchen on a Sunday morning, and that is the highest praise I can give.
