George's Place, originally uploaded by Michael/ capemayX.

George' s Place is one of my favorite local spots to grab a tasty bite. In particular, they feature the best French Toast (with bananas) in South Jersey, or any Jersey for that matter. This landmark diner has been around for 40 years but only recently has gained a notoriety for it's perfect pitch urban diner ambiance and taste bud dancing culinary treasures.

John, the owner of George's (ha), sets the mood for his funky eatery by hanging wonderfully lively pictures of his family throughout the diner. I love that. The photographs show his family pride and love and make you realize the food tastes so good because he does what he does for his family, and of course, because he loves to cook and is good at it. Here his son looks up to his pop's entrance sign, and to a bright future I'm sure.
