What comes to mind when you hear "Sloppy Joe"? If you’re from North Jersey, it’s definitely not ground beef in a bun! Around here, a true Sloppy Joe is a double-decker masterpiece: roast beef, turkey, or ham (or a combo!) piled on rye bread with Swiss cheese, coleslaw, and Russian dressing. While the rest of the world calls it a "Deli Sloppy Joe," we just call it lunch.
Fun fact: we actually can't find the ground beef version anywhere up here! Want to try the original?
