Jersey Diners
"There is nothing more "Jersey" than a diner. Adorning the highways and by ways of fully half of the state's 566 municipalities, no one in New Jersey lives far from one. There are more diners here than in any other state, and on top of that, one of the two remaining diner manufacturers is located in the Garden State."

"There is nothing more "Jersey" than a diner. Adorning the highways and by ways of fully half of the state's 566 municipalities, no one in New Jersey lives far from one. There are more diners here than in any other state, and on top of that, one of the two remaining diner manufacturers is located in the Garden State." "In a year of roadside research, Peter Genovese talked to owners, employees, and customers, and ate more bacon and egg sandwiches than he cares to remember. The result is a funny, revealing book about a beloved American institution. Whether you want to know where and how diners started, who invented eggs served in a skillet, why these twenty-four-hours-a-day eateries are so popular, of, most important, which one has the best French toast, Jersey Diners has the answers." "Packed with facts, trivia, and stories about the owners, employees, and clientele, the book is also complemented with over three hundred photos of the buildings, their distinctive decor, the food, and the people who love it from Sussex to Salem counties." This newly revised edition includes a fully updated directory that details where you can find every diner throughout the state! Publishers Weekly "A diner is not only a place to eat, it is a hangout, a community center, often more of a town hall than Town Hall is," says journalist Peter Genovese. "Wealth, possessions, background count for little; inside, everyone is equal." And nowhere are there more of these bastions of democracy than New Jersey. In Jersey Diners, Genovese salutes the state's 550 "colorful and kitschy" purveyors of food. Photos and illustrations provide a wonderful tour of the Garden State's not-so-secret treasures.

\ From Barnes & NobleFrance has its bistros and brasseries; England has its pubs; New Jersey has diners. With compulsive gusto (and apparently a very good map), Peter Genovese spent a year hungrily researching all 550 diners in the Garden State. The author of The Jersey Shore Uncovered not only gorged himself on BLTs and breakfast omelets; he interviewed mom-and-pop owners, waiters, waitresses, cooks, and, of course, the well-fed clientele.\ \ \ \ \ Publishers Weekly - Publisher's Weekly\ "A diner is not only a place to eat, it is a hangout, a community center, often more of a town hall than Town Hall is," says journalist Peter Genovese.
