New Jersey’s most iconic food is still a diner’s classic

New Jersey has so many great options when it comes to what could be considered iconic for the state. In my opinion, it's more a matter of opinion, but only if you live in the Garden State.

Why is that a criteria? Because we know what our iconic foods are. An outsider might think they know, but they really don't. And yes, it's OK to have a debate and argue over this since, well, that's what we do in New Jersey.

There are, however, some sources that claim they know what our iconic foods are. And one in particular gave the crown to a true Jersey classic.

It's iconic Jersey

Again, the list here can go on and on. From pork roll (aka Taylor Ham), to salt water taffy, and even a tomato pie, New Jersey certainly has an edge when it comes to it's unique choices with what we eat.

But what about the most iconic? Well, I had to think about this particular one for a little bit but I have to say, I do agree with it.

Not only is it iconic to New Jersey, it's also iconic for the type of place that serves it. A classic New Jersey diner.

The most iconic Jersey food

According to Food Network, New Jersey's most iconic food are disco fries. You know, the fries that are covered in brown gravy and topped with mozzarella. You really don't find that anywhere else but here at our classic diners.

I would argue, however, that pork roll at a diner is also up there. Maybe a close second?
