Sometimes it's easy to forget what the benefits are of living in New Jersey. Yes, there's a lot to complain about, such as traffic and taxes. But those downfalls are masked by the things that make the Garden State so great.

One of the biggest benefits of living in New Jersey is no doubt the food. We are, after the all, the diner capital of the world. That right there says it all.

But outside those diners, we still have so much to celebrate when it comes to amazing cuisine. Whether it's Italian food, Chinese food, or that good old fashioned hamburger, New Jersey never disappoints.
