They say New Jersey has more than 7,000 diners. It is known as the Diner Capital of the World. So what is the Diner Project? We visit as many of them as humanly possible, and report back the results.

Now, not every restaurant with the word "diner" on the sign really deserves the title. For our money, a diner must:

* not be part of a chain.
* be open 24 hours a day (and serve breakfast 24 hours a day).
* be reasonably priced, have a wide selection, and have decent food.

Let the culinary tour begin.
