    What a profoundly concussive episode on a sandwich that represents the platonic ideal of the beef animal. What really makes rye the perfect choice of bread here though is the ethereal aromatics brought about by the intense maillard reaction. A truly quintessential food object.

      I actually appreciate the honesty. I mean, you get videos like this on UA-cam where everything is just so amazing, even if they're eating some shitty fast food burger. But here he was willing to say that the ham wasn't so great, which I don't think is something that's easy to do when you're visiting a beloved business and were hosted by the owners themselves.

    For all those in the comments saying “this isn’t a sloppy Joe” I have two things to say:
    1. This Sloppy Joe predates the hamburger/sauce version.
    2. If you’ve never had one, you don’t know what you’re missing. They’re amazing.

    • @Whoopdido777
      @Whoopdido777 2 роки тому +1

      These sandwiches are really good. I’ve had Sloppy Joe’s from both Milburn and Town Hall. Unless I’m mistaken, there’s kind of a friendly rivalry between the two businesses. They’re only about 4 miles apart. Certain customers swear that one is better than the other and are very loyal to their favorite one. Like I said, I’ve had both and they’re both extremely good. I couldn’t say which one is better.

      @@vinnygi Probably a good way to describe them. I don’t live in that area, so I had to get them shipped to me via Goldbelly, but if I did live in that area and I was in the mood for one I definitely wouldn’t pass by one place just to get one from the other place. They’re basically equally as good in my opinion, so I’d go to whichever place I was closer to at the time.

    Milburn Deli has some very good Sloppy Joe’s - almost as good as the Avenue Deli a couple miles away in New Providence. Avenue has been making the same sandwich for 75 years passed down from the same family. It’s kind of a New Jersey secret - everybody knows the rules.

No-one from NJ puts Cole Slaw on a sandwich! A Sloppy Joe is crumbled browned hamburger simmered in tomato sauce....preferably Manwich... served on white bread or a soft Italian roll.

The coleslaw has mayo and then the russian dressing is also super creamy and sweet and its wayyy too much and gets very soggy very fast. I always ask them to go light with it but they never do. ☹️ however their chicken bruschetta panini is one of the best sandwiches ive ever had. And their pickles are delicious and i am not a pickle fan.
