Sub Sensation: Unveiling the Best Sandwich in New Jersey

One advantage of living in New Jersey is always the availability of food options.

There is one sandwich in particular that caught the national spotlight.

We all have our "go-to's." Your go-to Chinese restaurant, your go-to pizza joint, and, of course, your go-to deli.

My favorite deli is one that I've grown up with since I was a child.

Driftwood Deli in Toms River continues to be a favorite of mine, even though it has changed ownership several times.

They use Thumann's top-of-the-line deli meats.

This deli has consistently had the best roast beef I've ever eaten. It's spot on every time.

Just to let you know, if you're considering checking this deli out, when you order half a sub, you should be ready to take home a meal.

They pack their subs so tightly that it's hard to eat them—not that I'm complaining.

When I saw that Food and Wine was crisscrossing America looking for the best sub in every state I instantly thought about how difficult choosing New Jersey's sandwich was going to be.

The Garden State is full of the best Jewish and Italian delis.

How does one sub reign supreme?

Food & Wine referred to one North Jersey town as "the fresh mozzarella paradise."

You had to know that an Italian sub would win the honor of best sandwich in New Jersey.

I was surprised it wasn't your traditional, good old Italian sub.

The deli that dishes out the best sandwich in New Jersey has been in business for a century.

According to Food & Wine, the deli's cheesemaker (I didn't even know that was a thing) has been with this establishment for over 30 years.

There's a reason for that.

The ingredients are simple. Fresh Italian bread, fresh mutz, red peppers, and balsamic glaze.

Congratulations to M&P Biancamano in Hoboken for earning the title of best sandwich in New Jersey according to Food & Wine. They went as far as saying that this sub may be the best in the country.
