In New Jersey, that's Town Hall Deli in South Orange.

The deli opened in 1927 and has since relocated twice, most recently in 2013 to its current location at 74 1st St.

Town Hall's claim to fame is that it's the birthplace of the Sloppy Joe. And no, Food Network clarifies, that's not the ground hamburger meat between two buns.

It's the New Jersey classic Sloppy Joe sandwich: Layers of two different meats, Swiss cheese, coleslaw and homemade Russian dressing on baked Pullman rye bread.
