New Jersey Digest

Let’s get one thing straight: Print is very much alive. The Digest measures 8.5 x 5.4375 inches, but we aim to think beyond those dimensions. Our primary mission is to share the stories of various businesses, which can be expressed in just five words or expanded to two hundred — featuring a striking image or a collection of three. Secondly, we focus on creating editorial content that challenges norms and sparks creativity, whether it’s a holiday special or a food-centric issue. Our aim is to captivate you, bring a smile to your face, and occasionally stir up some friendly debate. We strive to craft articles that resonate with you now, rather than recycling what you might have seen before. In summary, we want to send you a complimentary magazine that feels anything but free.

So, does that claim hold true in the big 2025? As the warm weather seeps in, there is another kind of seasonal shift happening in New Jersey's best kitchens, and especially at Summit House. The dishes slowly evolve into brighter-and often greener-displays.
