WAS there twice....no more....overated, and I have been been a patron of Italian restaurants almost 50 years

The Windmill in Westfield is and has been open for business

I buy Costco" PRIME.....they buy top quality prime beef,....and why do they have very good beef ??......they buy at great quantities for all their stores across the USA, so the beef wholesalers treat them very well....Costco has the buying power for better beef......

By accident I discovered the best hamburger is the following.....buy 80%/20% chop meat from a good butcher or quality supermarket like Kings, and Emerils sells his own burger seasoning called..."Emerils Bam Hamburger seasoning"...also bought in Kings...sprinkle according to directions on the chop beef, mix and let set for a half hour or so that the flavors meld.....just as good if not better than Krugs, Stage left,Trap Rock and many more I have had
and they all have very good hamburgers, just because a burger is huge, 8 oz or more, doesn't equate to great taste......try the above and see te difference IMO

newly opened in Scotch Pllains and based on my first visit, it will be newly closed.....started off with "caesar" salad....they presented a STALK of romaine lettuce with a non descript dressing on top ....does one chop up the stalk or eat it like a carrot ?....I decided to go the carrot route with all the dressing falling off....next was the pasta fagiole, (fazool)...entirely tasteless, and I love that type soup.....but the worst was the entree...linguine with clam sauce red....had eight clams, all SPIT OUT !!!.....tough, chewy and totally inedible !!....never in eating in Italian restaurant for many years had I had as bad an experience as there....there in a location that has a history of failed restaurants....this one will join them !!

of Morristown and Denville opening soon at a central location in the Fanwood, Scotch Plains area

It seems as tho EVERY diner in the entire state has a favorite

The famous Summit diner, had great food at one time, beef stew goulash ham everything, but the quality isn't there anymore

EGGS bacon and onion

3 days max......your safe

EGGS and kimchi make a happy marriage......In Korea that's the most popular breakfast dish...........crack 3 eggs plus
only the yolk of a 4th, a tablespoon of milk or cream, whisk,
saute chopped kimchi for a minute or two, add eggs,,,,keep moving eggs till done to your liking

Your choice.....excellent food, small portions, big prices...
your choice

You can make yourself,....better than any 10-15 dollar burger in high end restaurants......go to a Kings supermarket, they use a quality combination of two cuts of beef....choose the 80/20, then proceed to the aisle where they sell ..."Emerils Bam Burger hamburger seasoning"......follow directions on label,... I let mine rest to meld flavors a half hour or so,.....
grill, fry or broil.....great taste and you save $$ over those overpriced tasteless ones at restaurants and fast food places

Nero's has been on that corner since 1968 and the friendly hostess has been there since

HAD a burger at Nero's in Livingston for lunch today,...a 12 oz. beauty
done perfectly medium rare as I like it....was so good I didn't eat the roll
and the staff is very accommodating.

Anyone know of a restaurant that has roast goose on their menu ??.....
Thanks

We haven't had roast goose since the now extinct Little Kraut in Red Bank years ago,.....soes anyone know where they serve it today ?.......Thanks

Does anyone know a butcher or even a suprmarket that sells Dekel ?
Deckel is the other, less popular, but infintely better tasting half of a whole brisket of beef

WILL TAKE YOUR SUGGESTIONS.....THANK YOU VERY MUCH

It is the Perryville Inn, owned by a couple, the website is down

Know if I can get a refund on a $100.00 gift certificate if the restaurant closed and is not in bankruptcy ??
Thanks...........

Been there.....the name of the place is better than the food

I agree with Foreunder....Australian lamb and beef, flavorless and gamey......I'll take Costco's prime anytime.

Costco which is nationwide, has the buying power so that meat suppliers HAVE TO abide by Costco's standards for quality assurance,.......tough on the smaller guys but good for the Costco customers who save a ton of money on quality beef over the year......I buy their "prime" beef and it is quality wise, the same as some better steakhouses.

THINK that's bad ??.....have any of you ordered from White Castle and got the order correct the FIRST time ??....ever ?

Problem with New Jersey Italian restaurants, they all have the same "cookie cutter" menu's....you see one menu, you seen them all !.....In NYC, go to any Mario Batali restaurants and you'll see AUTHENTIC Italian foods that NJ menu's never list.....what the common thread is here, is that their afraid to put something new and authentic on their menu's
concerned whether it will sell.
.......

AFTER SEEING OVER 200 POSTS ON THE BEST NEW JERSEY DINERS.......IS THERE A "BEST" ...NEW JERSEY DINER ???

New Jersey or anywhere

I'm curious to know if it is appropriate to sit at a bar and order food without an alcoholic beverage ?
....what's your opinion ?

I appreciate both posts.....Bamagirl 30....Yes, some people don't like the tinge of alcohol, ...I do,
makes me feel like Im getting my $$ worth, instead of just a "fruit" drink ....I am aware the bartender is under restrictions, and tip 20-25% anyway, more if they pour a few drops extra
...EvergreenDan......Yes, the right way to go, but I still like the "tinge" of alcohol taste.....just me I guess !!
