I recently moved to NJ (Monmouth county) from NYC (lived there 7 years - before then, out of the country), and only recently found out about the Jersey breakfast (pork roll). I'm planning to try it out soon in a nearby diner. I'm curious as to what other (junk) food that's popular in NJ is there -- for example, I really enjoyed the In-n-Out burger while in California. Please also list the restaurants that serve them, so that I can try them out! Thanks
Tasty Kakes, Hostess, and Entenmanns come to mind. And let's not forget the other uber-healthy NJ breakfast treat- the hard roll slathered with 1/2 a stick of butter.

Or Toasted bagel with a mountain of creamcheese, or Portugues roll with cream cheese and jelly for that matter!!

Go to any good NJ diner and order "Disco Fries" = french fries with mozzarella and brown gravy. They are so scrumptious, yet no one outside of NJ seems familiar with them!

Actually, we're starting to see Drake's, Hostess and Tasty Kakes stuff down here- not that I eat any of it anyway.
