Jersey Food The Sloppy Joe
First off I am not talking about a friggin Manwich, which is pretty tasty in its own right it made school lunches a little more tolerable. But I am talking about the best deli sandwich known to man, well at least in Essex County and a few other places as well.
I am talking about three slices of rye bread, your choice of Ham, Turkey, or Roast Beef. Some places gave you a choice of combining them. Slap on some coleslaw, Russian dressing, mayo, and a slice of swiss cheese and you have at least two pounds of pure heaven. Some places add or take a way certain things but no matter the combo it is one tasty delight.
Sure you had your pick of places to get it from. Nat’s Deli in Maplewood until they sold the place and it became Scott’s Deli until sadly he retired and is no longer there. Then you have the Millburn Deli in well Millburn and a few other places.
But you have one of the most iconic places The Town Hall Deli in South Orange, they have been at it since forever. Well, it at least seems like it, the perfect family-owned business since 1927 yes I said 1927 since friggin horse and buggies. That is what’s called history folks, when I was a teen in the 80s everyone had their places that they thought were the best. With me, it was either Nat’s or Town Hall, and trust me it wasn’t an easy decision to make as a 16-year-old when you were working at the local gas station and wanted lunch.
If you haven’t had the pleasure of eating the Sofia Loren of Deli Sandwiches well I highly suggest you give it a try.
