Best eats, good grub, whatever. Since it's a local-ish forum it would actually be useful, instead of five states away. Plus I'm tired of wondering where the hell Pearl gets all his burritos.:) Doesn't have to be five-star, I'll take a good burger anyday! It could probably sit in the nutrition section?

Dunno if such a thing already exists.
 
I'd be in. I know of many local great restaurant that are not chains. And i can stop posting restaurant stuff in Pearls blog.
 
I usually make my own burritos, sorry :p

Manville Pizza in Manville = Best Pizza
Chimney Rock Inn in Bridgewater = Everything
La Casa De Tortilla in North Brunswick = Chexican Tacos, Six Mile Famous
Grub Hut in Manville = Mexican/BBQ goodness, bring a empty stomach
La Costenita in Hillsborough = Legit Mexican joint in a grocery store
Sakura Japan in Bridgwater Mall = Ya I know its a chain, but got DAMN these dudes do Chicken Teriyaki food right.

That works for now :p
 
Flemington Area:

Blue Fish Grill: Great fish Tacos
Savory: Good Thai

Saigon Pho in Parippany-Vietnamese noodles. Cheap too.

Pete & Eldas/Carmen's Pizza in Neptune City-best thin crust pizza.

Batten Ramen in Fort Lee-the real deal on our side of the bridge!

Nellies Pizza in Waldwick is decent thin crust up north.

Hopewell:
Nomad: One of the best $15 personal pizzas I have had. Rivals any pizza I had in Italy. Bonus for al fresco option. Pricey.

Dai Thai: Good Thai. The wait staff spills stuff on my wife everytime we go here, but we come back because it is good. Bonus for al fresco option. Pricey. MTBNJ relation: one of the waitresses looks like a Thai version of one of the race team.

Lawrenceville:
Fedora Cafe: Killer deserts, killer sunday breakfast, good everything else. Bonus for al fresco option.

Lambertville:
Siam: Good thai. You need a reservation for this place most of the time. Hit up City Market for dessert.

Cafe Galleria: They made waffles and pizza for the 2011 HOH, so you shouldn't need anymore reason than that. Currently in the process of moving into a new place (should be really soon if not already) after getting flooded out last year. Lots of vegetarian options and tofu aphrodite is excellent.
 
Grease Trucks. And 25 burgers when I'm in the mood for something lighter.
