ASBURY PARK — If you're a foodie like me, the Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” is must-see TV.

Did you know the long-standing show shot its first episode in New Jersey? Since then, Guy Fieri has featured countless Garden State treasures on the show.

“The heart and soul of the culinary world started with these mom-and-pop joints,” Fieri said when reflecting on the pilot episode and why the series matters.

So where can we spot Fieri later this month? Asbury Park’s Mutiny BBQ Company!

The establishment touts itself as “authentic small batch BBQ in the southern tradition.” The owners are a local Ocean Township couple, and husband Tom mans the pit.

The episode will air September 20 at 9 p.m. on the Food Network.
