“It’s got to have diner spirit. It’s got to serve breakfast anytime. And it’s gotta have a counter with stools.” From lunch wagons to diners - the history of the diner is linked to the history of the state’s roads and transportation infrastructure. Emily Soper sits down at a diner in Freehold, NJ with author Michael Gabriele to learn about the impact of this New Jersey culinary, architecture, and transportation tradition.
Our producer, Emily Soper, is a student in Communications at Rutgers.
Michael Gabriele is the author of The History of Diners in New Jersey and is journalist and writer based in Montclair, New Jersey.
