Diners Drive Ins and Dives

Great episode! Guy Fieri takes a New Jersey Diner-intensive road trip all over the state that has more diners than any other place on earth. He actually orders the Cyclops pancake with a fried egg in the middle at Mustache Bill’s Diner by the lighthouse on Long Beach Island, and you know how much he hates eggs!; Home made hash at the Hightstown Diner; Legendary burgers made the same way for six decades at the White Manna in Hackensack which is often talked about in Weird NJ magazine; Homemade moussaka at the Jefferson Diner in Lake Hopatcong; Scratch made pie at the Ritz Diner in Livingston; And nightcaps like the Orange Martini made with Tang at the Skylark Diner in Edison. Now that sounds like the ultimate New Jersey Diner Tour!

Unfortunately I have yet to visit any of these Diners but now that I am retired I believe I must. I have been dying to try the burgers at White Manna. I have had the Italian dogs at Jimmy Buff’s in Irvington but I don’t think thats considered a New Jersey Diner.
