New Jersey residents are known for their strong opinions — and that extends to food. They argue over where to find the best pizza or the best wings, and don’t get them started about pork roll versus Taylor Ham. But, they’ll all agree that some of the best food in the country comes from the Garden State. These are the foods that those from New Jersey love to fight about and love to eat; the iconic foods that anyone who has ever moved away from the state must have the minute they step back on its soil.
