At the end of 2022, we asked South Jersey residents for their opinion on what would make this part of the state better in 2023. We received dozens of responses including the area's REAL feelings on North Jersey.
South Jersey is not only unique, it's opinionated. We do our own thing and go our own way, and have the things that just make sense to those of us who live here. So, we asked for suggestions on what SJ's official slogan could be.
On this day in 1836, John Taylor, the man who made pork roll a thing in the Garden State, was born. Seeing as he founded a business that changed the breakfast game, he deserves to be celebrated.
Competitive eating is remarkable. We all might think it's a little gross that someone can shove 85 meatballs into their mouth but we have to give credit where credit is due. Men and women from all over the world continue to break outrageous eating records. For example, in 2018 Carmen Cincotti ate 2.43 gallons of chili in 6 minutes, and how about in 2005, Cookie Jarvis ate over 8 pounds of grapes in 10 minutes. All competitive eaters are highly skilled but no one can compare to Joey Chestnut.
