Founded in 2007 by Deborah Smith, Jersey Bites began as a personal collection of beloved recipes—a culinary passion project rooted in home cooking. But it didn’t stay small for long. What began in Deborah’s kitchen quickly blossomed into New Jersey’s premier source for food news—a vibrant hub of restaurant reviews, recipes, craft beer and wine coverage, farming insights, and culinary events across the Garden State.
Today, Jersey Bites remains a collaborative community for food lovers, where a team of dedicated contributors brings their unique voices and expertise to the plate.
