Chef Zod Arifai/The Duke and Elephant in Martinsville, NJ

I went 5-6 times; I have friends who live in Warren + others still in NNJ, so I tried to support Zod whenever I could. As others have said, it wasn’t exactly a convenient location unless you were up/down Rt 287, and then sitting in an almost-empty place a couple of times made the experience less than thrilling. But the food was generally always on point, even if Zod wasn’t in the kitchen each time. I’ll certainly trek to NYC if he ever gets up/running–that’s for sure.
