THE JERSEY EATS PODCAST

Arts EN ↓ 36 episodes

Instagram content creator Kara VanDooijeweert tries over 400 Jersey restaurants a year. Food reporter Matt Cortina dedicates his life to writing about them. In this podcast, the two professional eaters get together to tell you where the best local bites are hiding — even if the only thing they agree on is that tuna melts are underrated.  Tag Line:Eating is a full-time job, and a laughing matter, for these Garden State food pros.
