Nothing gets me going quite like the smell of smoked meats: ribs, brisket, chicken, you name it.
Sunday is National Barbecue Day, part of May’s National Barbecue Month, which honors barbecue in general (burgers and dogs on the grill, etc.), but here we’re talking traditional Southern barbecue, one of my three desert island foods, along with doughnuts and wings.
Back in 2015, I proclaimed that New Jersey is a barbecue wasteland. The outlook has improved slightly since then; there’s great barbecue in New Jersey, you just have to know where to look.

Some of you may remember the old Pennsauken Mart. It s gone now and replaced by condos and new construction. It was at the intersection of Routes 73 and 130 in Pennsauken. Many of its tenants moved up the highway to Route 130 in Willingboro under the name Grand Marketplace Indoor Flea Market.
There are still a few originals that are going strong in the state, namely two in South Jersey.
The Columbus Farmers Market in Columbus on Route 206 is still going strong.
Further down in South Jersey is the Berlin Farmers Market.
The names of these venues can be deceptive. While there is produce available year-round, they offer far more than food and farm products, they re what you might call a poor man s mall.

We fight for environmental and social justice and believe in getting people outside to enjoy the outdoors. More specifically, Sierra Clubâs goals are clean energy for all by 2030, protecting more public lands: 30% by 2030, and to actively work to become an anti-racist organization. The Hoosier Chapter and local Sierra Club groups are active in different parts of the state, working on conservation-related issues, sponsoring outdoor activities, and educating members on issues.
