It’s not only a Jersey thing—it also includes Philadelphia, and some of the tri-state area (New York, New Jersey with a hint of Connecticut). This hand-held breakfast delicacy from South Jersey gained popularity as a utilitarian to-go meal for factory workers in 19th century London, and became increasingly popular after the Civil War. Moreover, James Beard further theorized that “it was invented by Chinese railroad workers and loggers who were longing for egg foo young, though other historians think the added ingredients helped mask the taste of less-than-fresh eggs carried by pioneers traveling west.” Don’t worry, our eggs are only hours or a few days from their nests! The breakfast sandwich really took-off in the 1950s and 60s when a faster-paced society began to emerge. Today, you can find the breakfast sandwich in every deli and fast food joint. Don’t stray from tradition—Fried Egg, Taylor Pork Roll*, Melted-American Cheese on a lightly butter-toasted Kaiser roll— sometimes, we offer a Vermont English Muffin.
Introduced by New Jersey Assemblyman, Tim Eustace, District 38, in 2016, “Designates Taylor Ham, egg, and cheese as New Jersey State Sandwich. An Act designating the Taylor Ham, egg, and cheese sandwich as the New Jersey State Sandwich and supplementing chapter 9A of Title 52 of the Revised Statutes.” Over time, Taylor Ham, especially the Taylor Ham, egg, and cheese sandwich, has become synonymous with New Jersey, and an important part of the State’s history and popular culture.
*Taylor Pork Roll is the main flavor ingredient in our New Jersey Breakfast Sandwich. John Taylor’s Original Pork Roll is what most New Jerseyans and Philadelphians ask for by name. Made since 1856, it’s a main staple of diners, kitchens, holiday tables, and boardwalks of the Garden State—and it’s absolutely delicious!
