Guy Fieri’s Favorite Restaurant is Only a Short Drive from New Jersey
It's no secret that Guy Fieri loves New Jersey.
He has brought his hugely famous Diner's Drive-In's and Dives to the Garden State dozens of times over the years.
Last week, Guy was in town to feature the fantastic Latin cuisine at a Shore favorite called Heights 167 in Pt. Pleasant Beach.
The popular eatery was featured on The Food Network.
Before stopping at Heights 167, Fieri sampled some of the best BBQ in New Jersey courtesy of Mutiny BBQ in Asbury Park.
Mutiny also went to "Flavortown."
There are so many worthy New Jersey establishments that Guy hasn't featured on DDD, but don't worry, it doesn't look like he is going anywhere soon.
Occasionally, Guy will eat at a restaurant, which blows him away.
It's one of those situations when everything comes together.
The food is phenomenal, the atmosphere is perfect, and the staff is sensational.

One New Jersey location that knocked Fieri's socks off is about as "Jersey" as possible.
New Jersey is the diner capital of the world, but that doesn't mean all diners are created equal.
Do you remember when Guy highlighted Tops Diner in East Newark?
Guy was in heaven and loved almost everything that Tops had to offer.
There's another unique location that Fieri calls one of his faves.
Lucky for us, it's just a short trip from Jersey.
It's right over the bridge in trendy Brooklyn.
When you think of outstanding Southern home cookin', Brooklyn may not be the first place that comes to mind, but it should be.
Guy Fieri's mind was blown when he visited the comfort food headquarters of Pies 'n' Thighs.
Owners Sarah Sanneh and Carolyn Bane opened this gem in 2006 and have never looked back.
The two cooks believe that excellent comfort food should be available to everyone regardless of location.
When Guy went to Pies 'n' Thighs, he was treated to their world-famous chicken and waffles.
The smoked pulled pork sandwich is a work of art.
It's hard to leave Pies 'n' Thighs without grabbing a toffee pecan donut or twenty.
If Brooklyn is a little too far, great news. Pies 'n' Thighs delivers nationwide.
Getting one of their creations delivered right to your door is easy.
How many of these have you been to?
