The Ultimate Jersey Diner Deep Dive. Who's on the Mount Rushmore?
Description
New Jersey is the diner capital of the world. You’ll find around 500 diners here, more than any other state. But why? How did we get all these timeless Jersey staples, what about them draws our unconditional love, and is diner culture changing here in the Garden State? Only one man is up for this ultimate Jersey diner deep dive, and that’s Pete Genovese, NJ.com food writer extraordinaire. Pete has literally written the book on Jersey diners, so naturally he’s back to join host Jeremy Schneider as they revisit Jersey diner history (4:29 ), what makes a good diner (16:49 ), the iconic food (20:53 ) and where diners go from here (27:53 ). Then Pete completes the Garden State Gauntlet, diner Mount Rushmore edition (35:26 )!
