  Flock Cameras Are Taking Over New Jersey. Are You Being Watched?

  Aug 12, 202636 min

  A vast network of surveillance cameras has popped up up not all over New Jersey, but across the country. The cameras are automated license plate readers, logging the make, model, and color of passing cars as we traverse the Garden State. Law enforcement agencies say these cameras have become crucial to investigating crimes. But many across New Jersey believe they create a surveillance state, violate privacy and rights and can easily be misused.

  The Anthony Bourdain Biopic is Here! Is 'Tony' Beautiful or Blasphemous?

  Aug 5, 202649 min

  We talk about Anthony Bourdain in some way shape or form in pretty much every episode of Jersey's Best Podcast. The Leonia native has become synonymous with Garden State culture. He was one of New Jersey’s greatest champions — he famously once said “to know New Jersey is to love her.”  But this week we’re talking specifically about Mr. Bourdain this week because we are days away from the release of "Tony," the A24 film starring New Jersey’s own Dominic Sessa portraying a young Anthony Bourdain as he falls in love with cooking during a summer on Cape Cod. The movie hits theaters on August 7. Host Jeremy Schneider is joined by Men's Health Magazine culture editor Evan Romano to talk about his recent interview with Sessa and director Matt Johnson, review "Tony," critique Sessa's performance as the iconic New Jerseyan and predict how people will perceive the film. Then Evan goes through the Garden State Gauntlet. Follow us! @jerseysbestpodcast on Instagram, TikTok, Threads and Blue Sky Subscribe to NJ.com, our journalists need you!

  The New Jersey Hot Dog Episode!

  Jul 22, 202650 min

  Everyone loves hot dogs — especially New Jersey. The Garden State’s hot dog history is grand and gluttonous, diverse and divisive. From old-school joints deep-frying dogs, covering them with chili and calling them wieners from another state to new fangled spots slinging glizzies from all over the country, there is a hot dog for everyone in New Jersey. Host Jeremy Schneider is joined by hot dog connoisseur Mike Mistake of Moonlite Weenie Ranch to discuss New Jersey's top hot dog styles, why we love them so much and the four hot dog joints that belong on the Garden State's glizzy Mount Rushmore. Then Mike eats his way through the Garden State Gauntlet, hot dog edition!
