“I really think New Jersey has the most diverse food culture around.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"john-holl\"<\/a>This week,\u00a0John Holl<\/a> joins the show to talk about his new book, Dishing Up New Jersey: 150 Recipes from the Garden State<\/a>\"\" (with photos by my wife<\/a>)! We also get into his work as editor of All About Beer<\/a>, becoming a journalist at 16, traveling to Cuba<\/a> on a beer run, the weirdest ingredients that craft brewers incorporate, why he thinks NJ is the best dining state in the country, and more! Recorded at Carton Brewing Co.<\/a>\u00a0Give it a listen!<\/a> And buy Dishing Up New Jersey<\/a>\"\"!<\/p>\n

“The internet has made some research easier, but it’s also made some reporters lazier. I feel fortunate having learned from reporters of the old school.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We also get into how newsrooms and journalism have changed over his 20-year career, how he discovered the craft beer scene while reporting on the road, the farthest he’s traveled on a beer assignment, how the Blizzard of ’96 changed his life, why it can be hard to separate craft and mainstream beers, and where his love of NJ comes from.\u00a0Go listen<\/a>!<\/p>\n

“I’m less interested in rare beers. I’m always looking for the next fun experience with new friends, or brewers, where I can have a well-made pint and a good time. My memories of the people are stronger than those of the liquid in the glass.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
