If pizza were a nation, Barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy would be its president. When it comes to pizza Portnoy might arguably be the most important man on the planet. His reviews can make or break a pizza shop. I had some hometown pride myself when he went to Nancy’s Town House in Rahway (I was born and raised there) and gave it an 8.8.

All-American Classics Are Given A Farm-Fresh Spin At New Jersey's First Farm-To-Table Diner
New Jersey is definitely the diner capital of America, and we like it that way! These iconic, omnipresent, affordable eateries can usually be found in every town, and they’re a great place to fill up on a classic breakfast plate, burger, or hearty dinner. Key word – full. Diners are a lot of things, but they’re typically not light or healthy! Most of the time, that’s great – but sometimes you’re in the mood for something different. That’s where New Jersey’s newest diner, the Country MKT (Market) Diner comes into play. Located in Closter, this is the first farm-to-table diner in New Jersey, and was founded by a pair of chefs to take over the now-defunct Valley Diner. The menu has all our classic diner favorites, but with a healthy and local twist thanks to partnerships with local farmers and vendors. It just opened in early 2024, and I can see it becoming one of my favorite diners!
