So, when the well-respected people at Lovefood say there is a hole-in-the-wall restaurant in New Jersey that is absolutely the best, we want to know about it.

It's hard to figure out which restaurants would fit into this category, but our best guess is it's a restaurant that may be off the beaten path, one that is a bit unknown, and certainly not one that has gotten a ton of attention.

The great foodies at Lovefood say the best hole-in-the-wall restaurant the Garden State has to offer is a wonderful little place in Kenilworth known as American Melts.

It is literally a build-your-own grilled cheese bar, and if we may say so ourselves, there might be nothing more comforting, and nothing more New Jersey than that.
