Mr. Chu
Anthony
September 11, 2010
Ended up at Mr. Chu when we failed to make a Friday night reservation elsewhere. At first, I didn’t think Mr. Chu would make our “Worth a Visit” list. The appetizers are below average – Wonton Soup – clearly not homemade wontons in a bland broth, and poorly cooked Scallion Pancake with Roast Pork. The service was OK, the dining room very loud (mainly because of a cackling laugher at the table next to us), and nothing all that unique on the menu. No chopsticks, or Asian customers for that matter, in sight. Not a good start. But then the main dishes turned out to be above average and interesting. Scallops with Black Peppers feature creamy scallops, fresh vegetables and an intense black pepper sauce. Chicken Soong is an excellent combination of finely diced chicken, mushrooms, jicama, bell pepper, and celery over crispy rice noodles served with lettuce leaves. The casual atmosphere in an old diner location on Route 10 and reasonable prices squeak Mr. Chu onto the list as a decent option for mainstream Cantonese food. Skip the appetizers.
Jefferson Diner

Disco Fries!
After dropping off our son at a Sussex County summer camp, we stopped for lunch at this widely publicized diner in northern Morris county. The Jefferson Diner has been featured on the Food Network so frequently, the diner is using the Food Network logo on its t-shirts and even the sign out front.
The menu is extensive with all the diner standbys (try the disco fries) and many Greek specialties, including the Moussaka Guy Fieri raved about, and an excellent Greek salad. The buffalo chicken sandwich is spicier than many “hot” buffalo wings I’ve tried.
The Jefferson Diner features lots of chrome, neon and mirrors inside and out. Open til 1 am (3 am Friday and Saturday), the coffee comes fast and the service is friendly. This place is at the top of my diner Worth a Visit list.
