It's not often that I can say something is the BEST. And certainly, we have some of the best restaurants in the country right here in the Garden State. As you know, I'm funny about pasta, I don't buy and try not to eat anything made with American hybridized wheat or enriched/bleached flour.

It's not easy to avoid and it's certainly not the worst thing in the world. But there is a positive trend in New Jersey with restaurants making their own pasta and sing flour imported from Italy. The Europeans are not fortifying, enriching, or hybridizing their wheat so you don't have the same bloating and stuffed feeling when you eat it.
