It’s always fun to dine with fellow  "food geeks."  But it's especially fulfilling when those fellow gastronomes happen to be Rosie Saferstein and Jason Perlow, two pillars of the NJ food writing community, whose collective knowledge of cuisine is as broad as the globe itself.

We dined together at Gourmet Chopsticks in Fairfield, NJ.  Really? Not Ninety Acres? Not Elements? Not daryl? No.  Gourmet Chopsticks, formerly Hunan Cottage.  The restaurant came highly recommended from Rosie, and if she says it good – I’m going to give it a go!

Gourmet Chopsticks serves Taiwanese and Shanghai style cuisine.  What separates Shanghainese and Taiwanese cuisine?  Approximately 425 miles. The same distance between NYC and Akron, OH, or NYC and North Carolina.
