Best Sloppy Joe's ?
The shipping charge is around $100, last I checked. That said, either is sublime.
A Town Hall Joe with shipping cost included is $89 right now ( regular $109) for one that serves 6
- Each package includes 2 large New Jersey Sloppy Joe sandwiches
- Build 2 Joe’s with your own meat and cheese choices
- Each Sandwich serves 2-3 people
- Each sandwich is divided into 8 pieces, making easy to share
- Sandwiches arrive via next day delivery and should be placed in the fridge if not going to be eaten immediately.
- Many fans of “The Joe” like to let the Russian dressing soak in a bit longer to really complete the sandwich, but should be eaten within two days of receiving the package.
Milburn Deli ($139 and less choices on meat and cheese)
- This pack serves 6 people
- Includes 6 Sloppy Joe sandwiches and 6 bottles of Millburn Deli’s homemade Iced Tea
With those prices would like to know if Milburn Deli's worth the extra money if I decide to
ship Joes to daughters family that doen't know what a real joe is.
No, if you are going to pay this money, go with Town Hall. It's the original, and no one is going to change my mind on that.
Just send then this link to a real Sloppy Joe recipe:

Then get the apostrophe out of the thread title.
I'd go with Town Hall, if only for that crazy rye bread that they use.

Are you ASKING for a snarky response or was that unintentional.

Thanks but no thanks.
Could buy a can of manwich and have the same
As for apostrophe out of the thread title, can't find a way to do that and admit it never should have been put there.
LOL.
Northern NJ is the only place in the world which has this heretical version of the sloppy joe. In the rest of the known universe it's a tomato sauce/ground beef concoction.
how would the rolls arrive fresh/not soggy? You can’t really save a sandwich and have it still be nice even a day later
if you separate the dressing from the bread using meat/cheese as protective barriers, this could work. But you have to be pretty exacting in your sandwich construction.

in my experience, even the cheese/meat makes the bread wettish and soggy. I also think a day old roll is better off in the trash.

I can’t soeak to Milburn delis deal, but no way does one TH sandwich feed 2-3 people.
I've enjoyed THD Joes for 30 years. Millburn Deli's version doesn't even come close to the flavor or artistry of The Original. BTW, if you want a (semi-decent) approximation of the classic THD Joe, go to Fairchild's on Eagle Rock Avenue in Roseland. Ronnie (one of THD's ex-co-owners) is working there, but his Joes don't really measure up to THD (where the OTHER ex-co-owner, Jack, still pliés his trade)...
-s.
The way THD packages their sandwiches, I have to believe they would ship better. Millburn Deli Joes are more like a whole sandwich cut in thirds; I can see them suffering structural failure more easily than the more neatly trimmed and aligned Joes. Or Joe's.
Regarding taste, I have to give a slight edge to THD. Though I like the experience at Millburn better - a very lively counter with a lot going on.
isn’t the place in Cranford supposed to have originated the NJ sloppy joe?

there's just a fair number of directions you can take that.
Not to mention a Russian dressing. But that’s for another active thread.
Dissenter from Millburn here. The Millburn Deli joe's my choice. The ones prepared early in the day are made the old fashioned way, with butter on the bread to seal out sogginess. (My mother used to pack my school lunches that way -- ick. You used to have to specify "no butter" at the counter, because butter was just a part of the recipe.) When shipping orders, they don't build the whole sandwich, or at least that was the case the last time friends ordered.
And six sloppy Joes from there -- eighteen pieces of a giant triple-decker -- would serve at least eight. Plus, tea!

To quote another bastion of haute cuisine (Horn & Hardart): "You can't eat ambience..."

Between Milburn Dell and Town Hall Deli.
Thinking of ordering some for and having them shipped to my family that never had them and don't know what a true Joe is.
Been away from area so long could use some advice , since shipping cost make sending the Joe's fairly expensive and last Joe I had was a Town Hall over 40 years ago.
