12 best NJ sandwiches…and where to get them

Ever since John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, invented the handheld meal in England back in 1762, people have been coming up with more and more creative combinations.

Whether it's the bread or the combination of the contents, the variations are endless.

Nowhere is that more evident than in our great Garden State.

With the diversity of ethnic groups and the dense population, the competition produces a dizzying array of delicious versions of the sandwich that other states can't even begin to compete with.

So we decided to ask our listeners right at lunchtime what the best sandwiches are in New Jersey and who makes them best.
