About this dish

Throughout much of northern New Jersey, a sloppy joe is a cold delicatessen sandwich traditionally made as a double-decker on thin-sliced rye bread. The sandwich typically contains one or more varieties of sliced deli meat, including turkey, ham, pastrami, corned beef, roast beef, or sliced beef tongue, combined with coleslaw, Russian dressing, and sometimes Swiss cheese. Turkey is generally considered the standard meat used in the sandwich, often paired with corned beef or roast beef. Depending on the delicatessen, variations may differ in meat combinations or preparation style. Some delis, such as Mr. J's Deli in Cranford, distinguish ham-based versions as a regular joe. The Millburn Deli in Millburn is among the best-known establishments associated with the sandwich. The Town Hall Deli in South Orange claims to have invented the New Jersey sloppy joe during the 1930s.
