Diners ...
Our continuing exploration of New Jersey includes checking out the diners in our neck of the woods.
For my British readers: the diner is an American institution. The closest British equivalent is the caff. Think good, fried breakfasts and hamburgers. The main difference is that the classic caff is an urban phenomenon whereas the best diners are found on the road.
We live not far from New Providence's Prestige Diner. Breakfast is OK, but dinner is to be avoided (think mountains of food with heaps o' cheese).
Last weekend, we went diner-hunting and found the Stirling House Diner Seafood Pavillion, about 20 minutes to the west of us. VERY good breakfast, including a generous helping of home fries whose ingredients included chopped green peppers. Mmmmm.
The Summit Diner is also on our radar. Stay tuned.
