As a college student, and as a human in general, I have a great love for food. I'm fortunate enough that I get to live in a state that is home to so much great food. Whether it's a specific food item or a dish from a certain restaurant, I've chosen to share ten of Jersey's best food options. I urge you to try each one even if you gain a couple pounds, it's okay that's what the gym is for. Live a little, mangia!

1. Kohr's

As so perfectly stated on their website, Kohr's has been, "a staple on the Jersey shore since 1923". Like a majority of people who have visited the Jersey shore, I grew up having to have a cone from Kohr's before leaving for the day.

2. Taylor Ham/Pork Roll

Though Taylor Ham is available in New Jersey and the surrounding states, it holds an ongoing debate in the heart of this great state. If you're from New Jersey then you don't just participate in the debate for fun, but because Taylor Ham is so delicious and even better on a bagel sandwich.

3. Blueberries

Not only are Blueberries a totally yummy fruit, but they got started here in the great state of New Jersey back in 1911! If you're looking for a fun day in this great state then visit Hillview Farms in Gillette, New Jersey during July to pick your own Blueberries!

4. Pizza

At this point you're probably saying to yourself, "I can get Pizza in any state and probably most countries," but everybody knows that New Jersey is home to the best slice. Though people from New York will try to argue with you on this I can tell you for a fact that New Jersey is where the best Pizza lives. (Unless you're looking for greasy slices or odd tasting pies from Disney World)

5. Disco Fries

Disco Fries are a New Jersey delicacy, French Fries topped with brown gravy and cheese. Being most people's go to drunk food I'm sure you can find Disco Fries in every single one of New Jersey's 525 diners. PS, they're just as delicious sober.

6. Saltwater Taffy

Created in Atlantic City, New Jersey in the 1880s Saltwater Taffy is a yummy shore candy that I promise you is not salty at all.

7. B&W Crumb Cake

Located in Hackensack, New Jersey B&W Bakery is the place to visit for the best Crumb Cake in New Jersey. The cake portion is never dry and the best part, the crumbs, are sweet and sugary as ever.

8. "Steaks"

Speaking of drunk food, Steaks Unlimited in Seaside Heights, New Jersey is a delicious eatery often frequented from twelve to three am. They're known for their cheese balls, literally fried balls of cheese, and their delicious cheesesteaks. They even stuff the cheese balls in the sandwich, which is totally worth it even if you throw up at five am because of all the deep fried food.

9. Tomatoes

Of course the garden state is known for it's Jersey fresh tomatoes, which if we're being completely honest with each other, I don't have much to say about because I do not like tomatoes. But if you like them then go you, come to New Jersey!

10. Bagels

I myself do not live away at college, but any of my peers that do constantly complain about how much they miss Jersey Bagels. My grandmother who lives in Tennessee freezes Jersey Bagels to bring back home with her when she visits. Clearly Bagels from New Jersey are worth every penny.

BON APPETIT!
