The birthplace of the New Jersey Sloppy Joe stands a few blocks from its original 1927 South Orange Avenue storefront, where founders Fred Joost and Heinz Berdorf perfected the triple-decker marvel of sliced deli meat, Swiss cheese, coleslaw, and Russian dressing on rye. Generations of North Jersey families still line up for this towering sandwich that bears no resemblance to its midwestern ground-beef namesake. The cases still brim with hand-sliced corned beef, fresh-baked rye, and the same Russian dressing recipe that made this corner deli a Garden State institution.
