South Jersey Town Shines On USA Today's List Of Best Food Towns
New Jersey is home to one of the best small-town food scenes in the country, and that honor belongs to Pitman in Gloucester County.
It's definitely worth the drive from anywhere in the state, especially if you're a foodie!
I've been to Pitman a few times, but never really explored the food scene, and now I'm excited to go back and do it right.
Most of my trips have been quick. Just running in and out for basketball games at Total Turf or heading to a show at the Broadway Theatre of Pitman, but now I'm looking forward to doing a little more exploring and trying some of the restaurants that make this town so delicious!!
