If you're new to my channel and videos, hi! I'm Evan Edinger, and I make weekly "comedy" videos every Sunday evening. As an American living in London I love noticing the funny differences between the cultures and one of my most popular video series is my British VS American one. I'm also known for making terrible puns so sorry in advance. Hope to see you around, and I'll see you next Sunday! :)

Share this video with your jersey friends if ya liked it 🥰
I live in Essex county in the Northern part of NJ, but I just shared this with a friend who lives in Vorhees, who told me that most of your claims about Southern NJ are accurate.
@@Pwince_Kwopotkin tell your Voorhees friend that Voorhees HS will never get the Milk Can, North Hunterdon HS will always beat y’all
Everything is legal in New Jersey
south jerseyans also pronounce water like wooder. which you did in the video lol
Seppos be like I'm from South NJ.
When I was in the USAF, I was stationed in California. I went to the mall, and there was a pizzeria. I said to the lady behind the counter "That I haven't seen pizza like that, since I left NJ." She said that they were from NJ. That was the best pizza in California.
You will notice that any state that you go to. It’s impossible to find good pizza outside Jersey. If you do the people making it are always from NJ.
From North NJ. Had cousins come in from California who stayed with us for a Wedding. One night we got a few Pizzas' and let me tell you...we had to get it almost every night at their request..! They also said (at the time) a plain cheese pie in Northern California was like twice the price at what we pay here and of course, no where as good.
Was it Trenton Pizza by any chance? Only place I'd get pizza from when I lived in San Diego
Same thing happened to me in Myrtle Beach!!!! Lol
This was a very interesting video
“Driving to a concert in Camden and coming back alive” 😂😂😂
I lived in Camden for 4 years for college and lived to talk about it.
I had to pause the video because that line gave me a great laugh!
That’s me!! 😂
no Newark
We used to have a running joke stating that Rutgers University in Camden had a gym class where they went out into the streets and ran from the gang members shooting at them. If they weren't shot in the back then they passed gym class 😂😂😂😂.
He didn’t point out pot holes once. I’m heated as a north jersey citizen
The video was clearly SouthJersey focused. This guy is a tool.
It's because north jersey sucks
aren't north jersey people always heated...
@@anniesaunders7016 I mean I'm from new Jersey and you aren't wrong lol

Hello from the other side of the Delaware 👋 A comedian once said, "two wrongs don't make a right, but in New Jersey, three rights make a left" 😂
Now that's funny! The jughandles rally are a good idea. There's actually one near the part of Maryland I live. The only one I've seen here so far.
😂😂😂
Omg love it 😂😂😂
Put a North Jersey trigger warning at the start of the vid please. Help save a life
he’s just teaching you how to be correct ❤️
Factual.. north jersey ftw
That is facts
Your basically from new york this is for the rest of us real jersians lmao jk
I'm so sorry you had to grow up in North Jersey
The disturbed twin of NYC
Just recently moved to South Jersey. Being from Texas, I'm beyond proud to say I'm from there. However, South Jersey has already become a great experience and my family plans to call South Jersey our permanent home.
So how do you like it compared to Texas
Welcome!
I’m moving there too! Lol
Btw personal question, do you pump your own gas? Since he said it’s illegal??
@@dontneednomanstoptelllingm8481 it’s very nice here. Some crazy drivers for sure, but you learn to adapt. My only real complaint is the taxes. Definitely not cheap to live here, but it’s nice to live so close to the beach, Philadelphia, New York, and many other cool places!
South Jersey is crazy. It is literally like the South in parts. I'm from North Jersey but loved visiting the Pineys, Haddonfield, and other charming South Jersey locations. It's very farmy surprisingly and it's a world apart from my Bergen County lifestyle. I quite like it though, it's slower-paced, and there aren't so many jerks in Beamers flashing their lights for you to go 10+ over the speed limit even though you're on the right lane. They actually let you in if you signal too. I don't think I could live their full time, just not enough activity for me, but it's a cool area and it's fun to go down there just for a change of scenery and to be reminded about why we are called the Garden State
I'm an actual Piney descendent. We have our own accent, and yes, kind of a southern accent but distinct. Nice people, and you can forget you're in New Jersey when you're with Pineys. Lots of Country Western music too - at least there used to be.
@@jjbud3124I moved from North to South Jersey in my teens and it walk literally a culture shock. there were phrases and words I used that they just didn’t understand and vice versa.
This entire video is South Jersey propaganda
Also Central Jersey is real ya bennys
When he said "porkroll egg and cheese,"
*Cries in North Jersey*
@@AxxLAfriku I appreciate the avril reference
Good, more South Jersey propaganda is absolutely necessary
@@AxxLAfriku Why'd you have to go and make things so complicated? I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else, gets me frustrated.
Yeah I just asked my parents are they from North or South Jersey and they said they were from Central Jersey and I was like Evan never even mentioned that.
My cholesterol went up by just watching this video....
Same here :))
And itll skyrocket once you step off the plane at their airport. I wanna go so bad XD
You balance it out with all our fresh fruit and vegetables. New Jersey's official nickname is The Garden State. The sad part is all the people who fly into Newark, travel on the highways into NYC or it's immediate surrounding areas, and then fly out again. Their only impression of the state is the refineries along the turnpike, and they miss the best parts altogether.
Subscribed the second I heard "SOUTH Jersey." But then you put Ponzio's on screen?! I feel so SEEN. 😂
"Driving to a concert in Camden and coming back alive" 😂😂😂 that killed me
100%
caught me lackin while i was drinking soda
I feel like this entire video is a attack on north jersey
facts lol
Yep, on Philly too. Even though that's were most of them work. Unless they do automotive body work, sell mattresses, or serve food.
It’s is. We’re all one team in this world.
I don't get it. South Jersey sucks.
Yes
Central Jersey here! And it’s not water ice, it’s Italian ice, and jimmies are sprinkles!
F*kinA❤️
central jersey here too!!
Do you mean Princeton, Trenton, or Bordentown?
You can take a guy out of Jersey, but you can't take the Jersey out of the guy...
Just don't cancel us here in Central Jersey!
And all of you not from Jersey, please understand the deeply seated turf wars regarding North/Central/South, Pork Roll/Taylor Ham, or Hoagies/Subs. It's sort of like how you can torture your own sibling, but heaven forbid somebody else tries to.
Looking forward to the linguistics video.
Djeetyet?
Central Jersey? Where’s that? 🥸
Lmaoo jk 😂
Central Jersey, FTW! xD
New Jersey* not Jersey. Please stop using just the one word as it confuses us Brits. It’s like people calling NY just York. There is a place called Jersey which is what you are named after. Which is also interestingly where Henry Cavill comes from.
What the heck is a central Jersey?

The actual Italy: Am I a joke you?

@@hannahbee567 Why China?
If you gave a real Neapolitan pizza to most people in the west, they’d probably wonder what the heck it is lol. Pizza has been so heavily appropriated by Americans that real Neapolitan pizza is no longer the standard.
No, ‘pizza’ is a mess of grease and mass produced ingredients thrown on a shitty crust now.
Italian State of New Jersey :)
@@tacosmexicanstyle7846 Pizza snob trash.
I use my proximity to Cherry Hill to explain where I live to out of staters. This video is a really accurate representation of the South Jersey Philly burbs. We usually get left out of the NJ chat. Nice to be included.
I do the same thing. I tell people, I’m from Marlton in Burlington County, it’s near Cherry Hill. And then they all agree and they all light up “Yes yes yes Cherry Hill yeah yeah I’ve heard of that”

Okay all this talk about pizza but not a single reference to BAGELS? 🧐
he knows he can't claim jersey has better bagels than ny
Agreed! Best Bagels. NY City beats Jersey for food but the whole state of Jersey bets the whole state of NY.
Bagels 4 U, change my mind.
That’s because he’s from south jersey! North jersey def has the best bagels. I am prepared to die on this hill.
@@Intronerd YES. Like my childhood town has a ma&pa bagel shop that people who move out will (no joke) beg people to ship bagels to them. It's some kind of cult loyalty, but wholly deserved.
I will say one thing I'm from Pennsylvania i feel bad for the folks over in the west coast with not a Wawa in sight.
PA also has Sheetz. Both are awesome.
@@josephmclean515 I've been to sheetz twice the closest one to me I think is like 15 or 20 miles away. So I got to turkey hill and get a personal piazza as an alternative.

Yeah right, How about the famous “Jersey Slide” from the left lane to the right exit in 2 seconds.
dont forget the jersey shuffle. (getting to a empty or full 4 way stop, looking left and right while slowing down (not stopping tho) and then just rolling thru.

How to Start a Fight in New Jersey:
Pork Roll or Taylor Ham?

Does Central Jersey exist?
It doesn’t exist
It exists
No it’s just where New Jersey has an identity crisis
its the jersey dmz and btw its pork roll
Doesn’t exist
It's funny when you're away and people ask where you're from and you say Jersey, they start doing accents and describing things they've seen in movies we quickly stop them and say, " that's North Jersey, I'm from South Jersey". We couldn't be more different.
Yep . Some people in the southern parts have more of a Maryland vs NY accent. It's such a misunderstood state.
😂😂😂
I'm from Bergen County and have no NJ accent. I was taught to speak properly. It sounds awful when I hear how some people speak.
@chiarac3833 It's a fact that MANY of us, from all over the state, don't have any accent at all. But there are slightly country accents, NYC sounding accents, MD sounding accents and no accent at all.
Born in Jersey, a kid when we moved down south. Too city for Alabama. Too country for Jersey. I'm all mixed up
Fun fact, we are also the blueberry capital of the world. This made my heart happy
As a Pennsylvanian man, I’ll tell ya, we’ve had our fair shares in y’all’s highways 😂. I think we’re mutual on the driving hate on each other.
If you’re driving on a highway in NJ and the speed limit is posted as 65 mph you best be driving at least 80 if you’re in any other lane but the right. Also the concert in Camden thing made me laugh so hard. There’s no worse feeling than when you’re at a show at BB&T pavilion and it’s wrapping up and you have to make the mad speed run to your car that you paid $40 to leave in a questionable lot all while trying not to get shot
Same in the UK. Doing 70 or below? Get in the inside lane, you gotta be doing at least 80 in any other lane or you’re in my way
See, I don't trust driving above the speed limit in Jersey because the cops love to ticket you for it and there are speed traps when it suddenly drops from 65 to 35!
I never ever drive to a show in camden. I always take the Riverline. $3.20 round trip. Of course, its sketchy as hell riding the train through camden at 11:00pm, but id still rather do that than pay the outrageous parking prices.
How I feel making sure I get a spot on the river line after the concert is over
This is why, ” Drive Jersey B****” is the most common phrase I say when on 295.
I grew up in New Jersey and moved to England for college and during my first week I called a pizza place and asked for a “large pie”. They had no idea what I was talking about 🥴
😂😂😂
That’s funny. What do they call it? Ohh actually I don’t think they have sizes, right?
America: New Jersey is shit and horrible
Me: Why do they say that? Is it actually bad?
New Jersey: Second Wealthiest state, tops in education, great multiculturalism.
Me: So it's jealousy, got it.
I can't believe you didn't mention Jersey bagels...going to college out of state meant I was disappointed with every bagel I got. I can never leave this state.
Most bagels in south jersey suck that's why
I appreciated the correct Jersey pronunciation of "Wuder Ice"... as someone who grew up in NJ this video makes me happy
I have heard of Italian ice, seems similar or possibly the same thing, (I am from the midwest)
Yeah we call it Italian ice in Texas
I've lived here my entire life, but I still say "the what?" when my mom says "wooder" and "for-ked river." "Mom, it's wah-ter and fork'd river."
@@TheOnlyInformant My grandparent had a second home in Fork'd River. It was my wonderland as a child. Woods and brackish water. when I first heard the word piney
Thats South Jersey/Philly talk.
This is so true, we used to also get free Philly pretzels on the first day of spring to go with our water ice
And you forget that every diner has the same faux-rock facade on the outside, and they always have fish on the menu, but you only ever get pancakes and the occasional chicken finger because you don't go to diners for fish.
Diner food tastes bests at 2am. Pizza fries or disco fries. A black and white milkshake.
@@ericaschaefer8486 There are 3 types of diner moods, breakfast, drunk, and drunk breakfast. Milkshakes are appropriate for all 3.
And fries.
You mean there are other things on the menu besides breakfast and burgers with steak fries? Also lets not forget the red head stepchild of every jersey diner. Cole slaw. They cant even give it away.
Me, a Brit: *not understanding basic American terms*
Evan: *more New Jersey specifics*
Just roll with it, man. Most Americans don't understand other Americans' lingo😂
@@KM-jn7hp i'm not a native english speaker, but my native language (Dutch) has a shit ton of overlap, lots of historic cross-pollination.
we get taught proper British English in school, but we speak more like Americans,
in fact i've heard serveral expats from the USA say we sound like they should be able to understand what we're saying by how similar many sounds are, but can't, trips them up lol
and just throw everything together, lots of false friends between the languages too, so there's a lot of Dutchified stuff that just butchers english even further (or is farther? i prefer to use further unless i'm specifically talking about physically looking in the distance, then it's farther to me)
either way, i guess what i was trying to say is:
we have really weird adopted figures of speech from just about anywhere in the english speaking world, and have this real thick accent and rhythm to it where we don't sing out the words, everything seems rushed and you barely hear when a sentence ends.
it's just a free-for-all shitshow in spoken english (we are generally pretty damn good at written English and grammar though)
but we know getting pissed means drunk in english, and means angry in american though, and seem to have an advantage in decyphering dialects and accents too since everyone butchers it in speech over here and we have a linguistic relation that sometimes helps us along, a lot of american people have problems with the scottish tongue when they speak english, but those sounds probably have the most similarities with our dutch tongue of all the english speaking world.
@@klontjespap Or maybe Frisan, which I heard is the closest to English.
@@klontjespap Wow! That was very interesting to read, thanks!
Just go with the NJ specifics and you’ll be good for the rest of the USA. Since the NJ way is generally the right way every where😂😂😂because it makes sense, is efficient and way less corny than other places😂😂😂
As someone who literally went to high school with Bongiovi and college with Tony Soprano, I couldn’t afford to retire there. I now live in Alabama, where I can get Pork Roll; I tell everyone I’m in the witness protection program…
This is definitely a South Jersey interpretation but we from the North forgive u 😂 I really enjoyed recognizing all the diners and stories tho!!! (even if u tried devaluing our dialectical differences 😂😜)

There's no such thing as "central Jersey".
"Central" Jersey is for people who don't want to admit they're from south Jersey.
evan talking about 'jughandles' just brings back flashbacks from the british vs american driving video, where the solution to most american driving problems was having roundabouts
NJ has been getting of its traffic circles. Maybe none left.
@@robertewalt7789 Still a bunch on Rt. 70 and Rt. 35. But you are correct, probably the contractors bribed the DOT to get rid of them to make more money.
@@robertewalt7789remember the one on Rt 46? The day they opened the thru lanes, a worker commented that he would throw the barricades and run like hell!
Grew up in South Jersey, this video just made me laugh so much. Many thanks for that.
"If your wondering why I have not mentioned Central Jersey, that's because it does exist."🤣🤣
Evan: "we're very proud to be from new jersey, we like all of it"
also evan: "we don't like to associate with the north"
This so accurate though... The north/south fued lives. And central Jersey is where North Jersey people go to live in denial.
We don’t hate each other just a friendly family fued 🤣
We’re like the Koreans 😆
North Jersey doesn’t like associating with New Jersey either.
Okay...you had me until "Hoagies" "Water Ice" and "Jimmies." Everyone knows they're called "Subs" "Italian Ice" and "Sprinkles" LOL! Well done
I’m glad someone said it!!
I’m from NJ and agree with you.
Agree. But those that use the terms would say wooter ice and hoooagie
As he said, he is from south jersey. He definitely used more south jersey terms in the video.
Yes, agreed! I was born in NJ and spent most of my life in Ocean County. I grew up on Mike’s subs, Italian ice, and definitely said sprinkles. Also, we said pork roll.
Bruh I was in New Jersey for 3 months and got rear ended four times.
That must have been the PA drivers that were either passing through or moved to NJ cause it’s an overall better place to live.
probably your fault
LMFAOO welcome to NJ!
It was definitely you, sorry🤷♀️😁
Haha
“Driving to Camden for a concert and coming back alive” OMFG😭😭😭😭😭😭
Everyone in Jersey also has their personal favorite diner
Silver diner the best
marlton diner
Crystal Lake Diner is probably the one I spent the most drunken nights at lol ride the PATCO back from a Philly show and after party, head to the diner and attempt to look sober lol
Bro if you live near plainfield you have to get casanova or ferraros, it's so good
Went there before and i'll never forget it

Also Evan: food... I miss the food.
That's everyone who grew up in the north and moved away.
It's so wierd hearing him talk about places like Depford and Cherry Hill. I'm so familiar with them. It gives me a nice feeling when a UA-camr is from were I live.

Hahhahahahahahahahahahahha
how is cherry hill, it seems like a nice city, and never went there despite living my whole life in new jersey.

I actually laughed out loud when you mentioned driving back from a concert in Camden. Also, this video was the strongest I've ever heard your Jersey accent
- someone from Central Jersey
WHAT?? You have described our beloved state of NJ better than any other person thus far! Also, you speak in such a rapid fashion, that I know you have spent real time in this unique section of our country as well!
Higest property tax in the nation!!
Expensive.
Drive 10 minutes, and you start paying tolls!!!
Rudest ppl.
Whoever moves out never comes back!
We from Pennsylvania feel the same about New Jersey drivers.
We from Germany feel the same about anyone from the US really with their lacking drivers ed compared to ours.
As someone who has driven on 295 into Philly, you people are NUTS. I'm from Jersey, and even I think that's too fast! It's 45 speed limit and EVERYONE is going 60 at least!
PA drivers are better at city driving and mountain driving, and suck at anything in between lol
And you're objectively wrong. 😉
@@MorganMalfoy13 you must not travel 295 in Jersey that often then. If you're doing 60 on 295 in Jersey you are going to cause an accident. The speed limit is 65. And nobody goes that slow. Right lane minimum is 70, middle lane minimum is 75, and if you are going slower than 80 to 85 in the left lane, you are a left lane dick and are causing a traffic jam.
Also, an entire section on the NJ Pine Barrens would be a great use of your time :)
This south Jersey guy is pissin me off.
Do you ask for adhesive bandage or a BandAid?
Its Taylor Ham!
It’s called “Rita’s ITALIAN Ice”
And if it a meatball hoagie sounds stupid it’s not because of the word meatball, it’s the hoagie that sounds fucking stupid.
North Jersey here. Never ever have I heard the term "water ice". It's ITALIAN ICE OK AND YOU'RE GOING TO RITA'S FOR IT!!!
I live near Long Beach Island, and I used to work in an icecream parlor that also served Italian ices. I got requests for "water ice" fairly often, and that term always bugged me. It IS redundant - but it is pretty common. I've also worked in restaurants that served sandwiches, and I was amazed at the different names people used for them. Besides subs and hoagies, I've heard them called "Dagwoods", grinders, and wedges. There may be more. . .it has been over 20 years now since I've worked in restaurants, so I might have forgotten some.
For some reason people think the term italian ice is offensive
Wait til you find out that in parts of South Jersey we call soft serve ice cream “custard”.
The one thing I'll say is that the best pizza I've ever had in was in New Jersey.
Way too true
Have you ever visited Italy?
"The pizza capital of the world" Apologize to us Italians RIGHT NOW
YES!!! Finally some south jersey rep!! I am sad to see though the lack of mention of boardwalk fudge. The free samples on the ocean city boardwalk were always *chefs kiss*
also i now live in illinois and i STILL talk about how much shoobies suck
My very jersey self has been waiting for this video
jersey diners are the best tho!
have never heard it called water ice before--ritas italian ice is the bomb tho
wait im sorry mischief night is an us thing?

As someone from South Jersey (and specifically Mullica Hill) it made my day to hear you reference Dippy’s in Mantua 😀
As a Pennsylvanian....the no left turn thing always kills me.
My best friend is also from south Jersey and I never realized diners were such a big thing there, but now it makes sense as to why we'd end up at a diner (usually until 2-5am) every single time we'd hang out.
We left NJ 35 years ago and regret nothing. It is the armpit of the Northeast.

Wawa is a very dangerous spot (talkin bout the parking lots) if your learning how to drive holy balls stay away you may get rammed 😂
My whole family is from New Jersey but My cousins and I grew up in Maryland. when it’s thanksgiving and my extended family gets together with the rest of my family they just whip out this crazy accent that lays dormant the rest of the year 😂
Papa Luigi and the big ass slice is held near and dear to my heart
I came down here to say Central Jersey Rights
Central Jersey? Never heard of it
Me too!
I know right Evan's acting like it doesnt exist.
You know that place when you driving on the parkway or turnpike and traffic just comes to a complete stop...yeah..that is how you know you are in central NJ..so quite denying it doesnt exist..
CNJ- Its even in my user name...
Central Jersey exists... There's this area that North Jersey considers south, and South Jersey considers north. That is in fact Central Jersey.
And fun fact, if you live closer to the shore the question of "what exit" refers to the NJ Parkway, not the Turnpike.
True! Central Jersey is from Hamilton (Mercer County) to Woodbridge. Amiright?
@@christinecox7531 you are 100% correct!!!!
Truth!!
wrong
Northwest Jersey is the best. Thousands of miles of woods, small towns, and seeing one car per hour on the road
"New Jersey, the Pizza Capital of the world"
**Screams in Italian**
**mutters in mandarin**
Italy got nutten on a slice from Mack's, Wildwood ave and the Boardwalk baby.
I have heard that pizza in Italy isn’t what we’d call pizza here in the states.
North Jersey pizza and NY pizza are essentially the same. I grew up in NJ and live in NY. I wouldn’t have stayed here if the pizza and bagels weren’t up to my standard.
I'm a lifelong South Jerseyan, Exit 3, and can confirm that he's 100% correct. When I went to college in North Jersey, it was like a different country. A worse country...
That's how we feel about Southern Jersey
Yea like all the guys still have the sleeves on their t shirts, don’t ride 10 speeds everywhere cuz of their 3rd DUI and getting dressed up doesn’t mean putting on a shiny new Eagles Jersey. Like leaving planet earth.
My Gloucester County self is very happy for this south jersey representation, especially hearing things so local to me like Dippy’s and 55 lmao
Mischief night Is DEFINITELY a thing in the UK; northern England at least lol!
I recently read somewhere that the only places that celebrate mischief night are New Jersey, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and northern England!
@@AlexxShmalex nope, my dad definitely celebrated mischief night in connecticut!
Thank god kids today dont know what the hell mischief night is anymore. Driving through Essex county i would get at least one egg thrown at my car on 10/30
@@AlexxShmalex no mischief night in South east PA.
This is central Jersey erasure. WE EXIST!!!!!!!!!!! Princeton representing here! Hoagie Haven is fantastic and the city is beautiful.
You should also mention some of our most famous celebrities, Bruce Springsteen, Jon Stewart, John Travolta, Meryl Streep, Paul Rudd, Jon Bon Jovi, Harlan Coban (famous mystery writer), Taissa Farmiga (American Horror Story), Whitney Huston, Queen Latifa, Jack Nicolson, Shaq, Bruce Willis, Ethan Hawke, Anne Hathaway, Jason Alexander (Seinfeld). Sebastian Stan (Winter Soldier/Bucky Barnes) went to Rutgers University even though he wasn't born here.. Grover Cleveland was born here, and he was president 2x with another guy in between, John Witherspoon - the dude with the biggest signature on the Declaration of Independence, Aaron Burr - who killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel and was vice president of the US and once tried to create his own empire in Mexico, Charles Addams (creator of the Addams Family), Buzz Aldrin (Astronaut), Walt Whitman, George R. R. Martin, Kelly Ripa, Frank Sinatra, and Martha Stewart.
panzerotti are from puglia originally, even though fried pizza was born in napoli but people from puglia made it smaller and put more different fillings in it
You forgot "Going down the shore" instead of "Going to the beach."
who is going to the beach?????
@@mirillis6083 The people who live at the shore. LOL. I'm a lifelong resident of Barnegat. I grew up at the shore. People who live at the shore go to the beach.
this made me SO nostalgic for a walk to Seaside and some Kohrs 😭
This is very South Jersey, but it’s good to get some representation as a person from Southern New Jersey. Most people think the North when they in-vision NJ but the two are polar opposites
As a man from the Philadelphia area who spends the summer in south Jersey at the beach(Avalon to be specific) this is pretty accurate. Also we have pork roll and definitely feel the same way about Wawa. Honestly most of the culture is the same in Philly and south Jersey
yea, it’s like south jersey and philly are all kind’ve the same family, we all root for the same philly teams, everyone in south jersey visits philly, everyone in philly visits south jersey especially for the beaches and family etc, we all have good pizza and similar culture. It’s when you hit north jersey, and they’re buddy buddy with nyc.
Evan: New Jersey is the pizza capital of the world
Italy: Guess I'll just be a sandwich then
Never been to Italy have you..you will be hard pressed to find pizza and when you do..its like going to China and looking for General Tso's Chicken..
