Well I think Ive started a friendly battle on facebook with my first attempt at creating a local "best of" list. I know there is the Zagat guide, the various magazines and newspapers, but I have not seen any local best of lists for OUR towns, created by OUR neighbors and residents. Specifically, I'm talking about the Union County area for this list.

So, I'm asking you....what is/are your favorite Union County, NJ area restaurants, regardless of price range, type of cuisine. I just want to know when you want to go out to eat, which place or places excite you the most. Some of the early leaders are Spiritos in Elizabeth, Theresa's in Westfield.

I think the best way to confirm the submissions is for my wife Tanya and I to try the top 15-20 you've selected, and give them an informal review. I love to eat, I love to write, sounds like the perfect hobby right??

Whats yours?? Share this blog link with your friends on Facebook and Twitter, or send them the link to have them comment here. I look forward to seeing the results.
