A Sandwich A Day: 'Italian Hot Dog' at Jimmy Buff's in West Orange, NJ

@ Kenji. I was born and raised in West Orange. Grew up on Jimmy Buff's, Star Tavern Pizza and more. The Town Hall & Millburn deli sloppy were always what were served at shiva calls (morning when someone jewish passes away). Our joke as kids when we were told by our parents that we had to go to "so and so's house" to pay a shiva call was "are there gonna be sloppy joes? Is the sloppy joe the best or most original sandwich ever? No, but as I left West Orange at 18 it is always a reminder of my childhood to head back from time to time to enjoy a monster roast beef & turkey monster joe at the millburn deli to take me back to more innocent times and great memories. Too all those that bashed my Millburn Deli comment, I love it for the nostalgia and the super fast, super friendly, not too serious staff (and the rye bread sliced to order).

Since you were in the Oranges, Why don't you go to South Orange to the Town Hall Deli and to Millburn for the Millburn Deli to compare their Sloppy Joes? The NJ style ones with deli meat, NOT the ground beef on a hamburger bun.

Milkshakes: should they come with whipped cream on top or not?

I worked for a very famous deli & cake company here in NYC and we served all of our milkshakes with whipped cream and a burgundy (not maraschino) cherry). just my 2 cents on the topic.
