Everybody has probably seen the infamous map of New Jersey that made its way around the internet last month. Whether or not the map is accurate, the divisions in our Garden State are undeniably fascinating. We have our coastal shore towns, full metros like Newark and Atlantic City, farmland to the west, the Historic sites of Princeton and Morristown, and then there’s Sussex County. I think that map does not characterize our northernmost county accurately. With its open fields, horse shows, and hunting enthusiasts, its become apparent to me that Sussex is the land of the North Jersey Cowboy. Sussex County is our Texas. Read the Rest on Jersey Bites…

Some people see Jesus in their food. Others see the Virgin Mary in their toast. Me…I think I found Nemo. When I stopped for a burger somewhere in the wilds of Pennsylvania on the way home from Philadelphia recently, I was served a burger that looked a little too much like Nemo from Disney/Pixar’s Finding Nemo.

What? You don’t see him? Look harder. Its not just his shape, it even has his stripes and broken fin! Look again, I’m sure you’ll see him.

You see what I mean? What about you? Did you ever see any weird faces staring back you from a burger patty?

At the Heritage Grill in Denville, I gave this burger a try. It was a good patty of flame-broiled beef topped with avocado and cheese. I’m gonna have to give them another trip before they get a full review.

Today, I take on a burger from The Hillsboro Star Diner.I love finding good diners. Not diners that just have great breakfast. Not diners that just have cool burgers. But diners that focus on upping the quality of every meal. The phrase ‘restaurant quality’ was created for places like the Hillsboro Diner. “Today, I take on a burger from The Hillsboro Star Diner.I love finding good diners.

Check this out: Alexis Diner in Denville is going to be donating the entirety of its Thanksgiving Day proceeds to St. Peter’s Orphanage. That’s really generous way to give back to their local community. Its a much better and more direct way to give to a charitable cause then dropping a quarter in a bucket at the mall, right?

Alexis Diner is one of the best diners in Morris County. Even though I haven’t reviewed them just yet, I’ve been there a ton of times. If you’ve never been, this would be a great time to give them a shot. Especially if you’re skipping the turkey this holiday.
