Best of: 2006 NJ food retailers

There are plenty of great food retailers in New Jersey, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.  You no longer have to cross the river for top-notch ingredients and products. 

Here are some of the places that I found myself returning to again and again in 2006, and before that, and likely after that as well, which makes me ask how this post is specific to 2006 at all:

Best of: Dishes at NJ restaurants in 2006

With 2006 coming to a close, I found myself reflecting on some of the more notable dishes that I've had in over the last 12 months, while woofing down a very tasty hot pepper pizza at the Star Tavern in Orange.  "Notable" as in they made me utter aloud "wow, that's good."

Who doesn't like lists?  Everyone likes lists.  Lists give our lives order.  Even unordered lists give our lives order.  And they sure give writers and editors something to do at the end of the year.

And so the "Best of" lists were born.  Right there at the bar, the incubator of so many great ideas.
