Pennsylvania Restaurant Named One of the Best Overall in America
We’re lucky to have so many delicious restaurants in Pennsylvania. Now, one outlet has named the No. 1 best Pennsylvania restaurant in the state. That had to be a tough job, dwindling down all the great restaurants in Pennsylvania to just one. But, imagine how much fun it was to taste food from all over America for this story.
The study comes from ShermansTravel.com. “Foodies take note: We’ve rounded up the best restaurant in each state, from Delaware’s first Italian joint to a 50-year-old California restaurant that started the farm-to-table movement,” they state in the article. Looking through this list, I don’t see any national names on here. So, it appears that these are all truly locally-owned spots. That makes me want to hit up these spots even more. It’s great to see local restaurants getting so much attention.
Before we hit Pennsylvania, let’s look at New Jersey, since it’s nearby. They picked Razza. I’ve heard great things about that spot, so I’m not surprised to see it at No. 1. The Jersey City pizzeria has a “daily-changing menu features simple but fresh ingredients,” according to ShermansTravel.com. They mention that it was also the best pizza by The New York Times. So, what should you have to eat there? “The Funghi pizza, Guanciale pizza, and corn pie are out-of-this-world good,” they explain.

You Should Probably Skip These Foods At A Breakfast Buffet
Eggs
Many establishments opt for powdered eggs instead of fresh ones, as it’s a cost-effective way to prepare large quantities of scrambled eggs to cater to numerous guests at once. However, powdered eggs cannot compare to the taste, texture, and color of their fresh counterparts. Another concern lies in the fact that these eggs are pre-cooked, which means they might sit at unsafe temperatures for extended periods.
According to the FDA, serving eggs immediately after cooking is crucial to prevent foodborne illnesses. Unfortunately, in a buffet setting, it’s challenging to determine how long the eggs have been sitting out.

Fruit
Unless you witnessed the fruit being freshly prepared in the kitchen, it’s nearly impossible to gauge how long that eye-catching fruit display has been sitting there. According to the FDA, when fruits are cut, their protective skins are breached, leaving the flesh vulnerable to the surrounding environment and any potential bacteria. This creates two primary reasons that heighten the risk of contamination. Firstly, cutting the fruit makes its water content and nutrients readily available to microorganisms. Secondly, without any heating process, disease-causing germs aren’t eliminated, further contributing to the potential hazards of consuming cut fruits from a buffet display.

Waffles

There’s a joy of pouring your own batter into a Belgian waffle maker, flipping it eagerly, and waiting for that gratifying green light before embellishing it with toppings. However, it’s best to exercise caution and avoid the waffle station. As per TikToker Brandi Augustus, a former hotel employee, the waffle batter served there is often old and sour. Instead of disposing of the old batter, new batter is mixed with it. It’s worth noting that not all places offering breakfast buffets adhere to this practice, but it’s wise to stay informed and make a decision based on the circumstances.
