1.Bagels - Bageleddi's - Ship Bottom
2.Mexican - ?? still ISO..there's a decent place in Meyersville?
3.Pizza - I've never really had sucky pizza in NJ, so as long as it's not a famous chain, I'm happy. Locally, I like Roman Pizza in LV.
4.Steakhouse - NOT Arthur's, LOL. I had an awesome filet at Silver Spring Farm in Flanders once.
5.Ice Cream - There are a few that I like - Applegate Farms in Montclair (but haven't been in FOREVER), Taylor's in Chester
6.Chinese - Szechuan Royale in LV in Hastings Square - great Chinese food. Haven't been able to duplicate it elsewhere.
7.Seafood - yuk. every place sucks! LOL
8.Deli/Sub Shop - Gaetano's in Willingboro.
9.Bakery - ???
10.Burgers - The best burger I ever had was a restaurant in Bayonne called Burke's. They've been closed for 25 years. Haven't been able to find one nearly in the same ballpark anywhere in the country since.

I wish I knew  . There was some flavoring in the meat that was out of this world, and the cook really knew how to make them perfectly. I miss them, and I'm not a huge burger fan! |
