If you find yourself in Jersey, you’d better come correct when it comes to pork roll. In South Jersey, it’s simply pork roll—everywhere else it’s Taylor Ham. Mix the two and you’re liable to start a fight before you finish your coffee. The Taylor Melt I had lived up to its name in every way. The cheddar was molten, dripping luxuriously over the edges, sealing the whole thing together in gooey perfection. The Taylor Ham itself was cooked well-done, giving just the right salty chew to stand up to the richness of the cheese. A fried egg, yolk slightly soft and buttery, added a silky layer sandwiched inside a warm, buttery English muffin. This was the quintessential Jersey breakfast sandwich—simple, indulgent, and absolutely on point.
