I recently saw an article posted by Lovefood, and it gives us the "best" comfort foods from around the nation, and in addition gives us the best comfort dish in New Jersey. So let's look at their pick for comfort food in the Garden State, and ironically, it comes right from the garden.

According to Lovefood, "There's no shortage of fine dining restaurants and modern, creative cuisine available in the USA – but sometimes, only a rib-sticking comfort food dish will hit the spot. From crispy, golden fried chicken to classic burgers, we've scoured the country to find the best comfort food dish in every state – and every single one is a must try. Get cozy, and dig in!"

So what is the pick for New Jersey? It's the "tomato pie"! Yes, a delicious tomato pie is a unique "Jersey" thing that if you haven't tried, you need to. My wife makes her very own tomato pies featuring her home-grown Jersey tomatoes from her garden, and it's a treat.

According to Lovefood, "Trenton, New Jersey is credited with inventing the tomato pie: a tempting thin-crust pizza laden with cheese and toppings, then finished with lashings of tomato sauce. Located in Robbinsville, DeLorenzo's Tomato Pies has been dedicated to serving some of the state's finest since 1947."
