It's all about the hops to me. Anchor Liberty is great but Steam can't hold a candle to Pale Ale. Then there is Celebration.

If you take 78 right off exit 40 Dietrich's sells every type of Gibbles and Kay and Ray's chips. Impossible to find in the metro area they are the best "lardy" potato chips in my opinion.

If you're going to Wegman's in Bridgewater check out Georges Meat in Raritan Boro. I have not been there in about a year but used to be an excellent Italian butcher shop. Also check out Hind and Fore Meat market on rt 28 in Bridgewater. Both places only a mile or so from Wegman's.

I spent a few drunken weekends in the burgh in college in the late 80's. I remember huge orders of Fries at the "O" in Oakland and the french fries and cole slaw sandwiches at Primanti Bros. Pretty standard tourist fare I'm sure but it was great back then after a night of "Ahruns".

I eat nothing but the Wegmans meat now for burgers on the grill. Taste is fine and knowing I'm not going to come down with ecoli and being able to eat my burgers rare works for me. I recently heard a radio remote on a PA radio station where Wegmans was having a burger cookouot outside the store nad grilling burgers to order to promote the meat.
