Joshua Berman

Joshua Berman is one of New Jersey's most dedicated food creators, with reviews spanning some of the most food-rich communities in the Garden State. His coverage spans Belmar, Cranford, Westfield, Ridgewood, Teaneck, Howell Township, Long Branch, Hackensack, Bloomfield, and dozens more NJ towns — a testament to the sheer density of great eating that exists across the state.

New Jersey is often reduced to a punchline in national food conversations, but Joshua's work tells a more accurate story. His reviews cover cheesesteaks, Middle Eastern kitchens, Colombian restaurants, Filipino spots, Italian delis, halal carts, and classic American pizza — the genuine mosaic of what NJ dining looks like in the communities that built it. He also ventures into Philadelphia and Las Vegas, giving his audience cross-market perspective on how Jersey compares.

Joshua's content is grounded in an obvious love for the state and its food. He covers spots that have been family institutions for decades alongside newer concepts, and his honest assessments help his audience navigate a region with hundreds of options but highly uneven quality. For anyone eating in New Jersey, his Social Foodie profile is an invaluable local guide.
