The selection for here in the Garden State is something we probably all have had at one point or another, probably at a diner lol We are talking about the famous Jersey "Disco Fries". If you haven't had "disco fries" than next time you are at a Jersey diner, look on the menu, and good chance you'll see "disco fries". Would "disco fries" be your pick for the one "Jersey" food to try? Would you have chosen "pizza", "pork roll" or maybe "seafood"?

According to Espresso, "Disco fries became popular here during the disco era—the plate of crisp fries covered in gravy and melted cheese was a great way to soak up the alcohol after a night of doing the bump under a glittering mirror ball. But you don’t need to dance or drink to enjoy New Jersey’s version of poutine today. Some eateries use traditional thick-cut fries, while others offer waffle fries. The cheese is usually American, cheddar or mozzarella."
