Why Jersey Is the Diner Capital of the Country - Eater NY
"Summit Diner opened in 1929 or 1938, depending on sources, built by the Jerry O’Mahony Diner Company. It resembles a railroad car and is located in downtown Summit, New Jersey. It is far more cramped with only six tables and a lunch counter made of actual black marble. There was no printed menu, but a series of tack boards with moveable letters overhead. We ordered pancakes with sausages, and the fat sage-y links were fantastic. The beef in the Philly cheesesteak was tough, but the classic Taylor ham, egg, and cheese sandwich was near perfection. A cup of pleasantly understated Manhattan clam chowder came free with the cheesesteak." - Robert Sietsema
