Quick Shout-Out: Frank’s, Asbury Park NJ
Frank’s Deli & Restaurant.. needed a fix.

Taylor Ham Egg & Cheese, ‘locus classicus’ — The foodie move is to to ask for the Taylor ham to be browned well, but not well-done. Frank’s has a thicker-than-usual cut on the taylor ham.. which affords a far better textural experience and flavor profile, than thin cut. Getting it browned only adds to a heightened Taylor Ham ‘wow’.

The cheese is thicker cut as well. Melted and atop the fresh egg and taylor ham adds wonderful creamy-salt notes to the song.

Old-school keiser roll.. crusty on the outside, pulley on the inside, is a perfect transport vessel for all the magic. Ketchup is a glaring no-no as far as we’re concerned… As Jake Lomatta in the ‘Raging Bull would say, “you’re defeating the purpose”, and drowning out all the best flavors of a classic NJ favorite.

Like pizza and religion… we all have a favorite spot to celebrate Taylor Ham Egg and Cheese. Where’s yours?
