De Martino, A Latin Restaurant, Somerville: Somerville is a Central Jersey borough known for a Main Street full of eats from every corner of the world. But perhaps no place here is more innovative than De Martino, a Latin restaurant with both traditional and fusion dishes.
The hidden gem, located on a side street off the main drag, offers Latin staples and an ever-changing menu. Previous highlights include beignet-style chorizo and Manchego cheese corn fritters; and oxtail marmalade with julienned collard greens, bone marrow whipped butter and toast.
Go: 9 Davenport St., Somerville; 908-722-8602, demartinolatin.com.
Kimchi Hana, South Plainfield: Don’t let Kimchi Hana’s half-lit SUSHI sign on the corner of the Burlington Coat Factory strip mall fool you. Pre-pandemic, this Korean barbecue eatery was filled with customers – most of whom are Korean – eating marinated meats cooked over an open char-broiler at their tables.

Here’s a list of the 50 New Jersey dishes you must try in 2021, based on the 25 best dishes we each tried in 2020. Pete did similar lists based on the best items he ate in 2017, 2018 and 2019. The only difference with this one is Jeremy is joining in on the fun.
