Do you call it pork roll or Taylor ham? No matter where you fall on that long-time Jersey debate, the odds are the famous fried lunchmeat has made its way onto your plate at some point. Whether you were digging into pork roll sandwiches during school lunch or indulging in a pork roll, egg, and cheese for breakfast at a diner, it always tastes great. However, many people are only familiar with pork roll one or two ways – and that’s something Johnny’s Pork Roll and Coffee Too is trying to change. After starting life as a food truck, this quirky Red Bank sandwich shop has expanded to a storefront where they dish out pork roll sandwiches any way you can imagine. You’ll find over ten varieties of the iconic sandwich, fusing it with other sandwiches and cuisines. You never know what you’ll find on the menu here, but there’s always one constant – pork roll!
