Namkeen

At just a year old, the hot chicken and waffles specialist that fuses the sensibilities and flavors of Nashville and Pakistan has become a must-stop for those looking for big tastes in street-food style.

Shredding Sprouts

Take a sharp knife to your Brussels, then sauté with accents to make a sauce fit for pasta and noodles, rice and potatoes or to serve alongside meats or fishes. Or, keep this easy-does-it dish in mind as a Thanksgiving side.

Scott Anderson, of Elements and Mistral

With forests, farms and the ocean at his disposal, the New Jersey-bred chef believes he’s got a world of ingredients – and possibilities – at his disposal, right here in the Garden State.

Restaurant Revue WEST AMWELL TOWNSHIP

The Speckled Egg Café

Don’t expect a right-this-way sign or fancy furnishings at this quixotic café where a decidedly unshy chef answers to whim and whimsy when mining seasonal ingredients to put original spins on classics. The result? Flat-out delicious food.

Restaurant Revue WEST ORANGE

New Ginger Indian Grill

With takeout and delivery the M.O. for now at this newcomer, pick a perch in a nearby park or back yard to slurp lyrically spiced sauces – furtively or brazenly.

Quintessential Fall: 10-25-21

Much ado about autumn, much so fitting for this refreshing time of year.

Ahead of the Carve

Home-baked pumpkin cookies set off a wave of inspiration - and heartfelt admiration for a young pastry chef.

Hank’s Cilanktro Hot Sauce

A different sauce, that opens a world of possibilities.

Steve & Cookie’s

There’s a reason why a restaurant in a small city on the South Jersey Shore is on the national map of must-visits: top-notch food, diligent service, mission-centric ownership. And justly famous Brussels sprouts.

Thomson’s Specialty Foods

A new combo eat-in/takeaway spot aims to provide its community with elevated home-cooking. Halibut taco in a fresh lettuce wrapper, anyone?

Delicata, the Easy Squash

No peel, no fuss, no degree of difficulty whatsoever. This one’s for beginners – and lovers of pumpkin pie.

Restaurant Revue NEW BRUNSWICK

Veganized

Culinary cliches need not apply at this college town mecca: No, chef Ron Biton serves dishes that defy stereotype and define the possibilities of creating an exciting menu that puts into starring roles ingredients that elsewhere take a back seat.
