New Jersey Dispatch: Whole Earth Center in Princeton
korovka:
I suggest that instead of waiting for Trader Joes, you instead check out the amazing range of independent specialty shops in the Princeton/Kingston/Kendall Park area. Between the Whole Earth Center, the PA Dutch Market, The Great Wall Supermarket (Dispatch soon!), Cherry Grove Farm, and a host of other small shops, you should be able to find an amazing array of foods sold by local and independent retailers.
If you must shop at a chain - even I do sometimes - at least go to one out here in NJ that has easy access and free parking.
Bringing chain supermarket food from NYC to NJ is like traveling to NJ from NYC for fine dining. It just isn't as good as it can be.
Please though, I've spent the past 13 months writing these dispatches so NJ food shoppers can enjoy that astounding array of specialty shops we have. Give them a try.
Zummo’s Café in Scranton, Pennsylvania
Betty:
It's a funny thing. The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area is loaded with great food resources and the only thing that's ever reported on is Old Forge Pizza.
I'll try to make that right.
New Jersey Dispatch: Moustache Bill’s Diner
Eating:
As always, stay tuned.
I've got several seafood-driven dispatches in the works.

The food landscape of New Jersey has been laid to waste by endless chain supermarkets, chain restaurants, and just plain chain stores. Whenever possible, I'm going to use the voice I have here to remind people that there's an alternative.
It's an important mission.
