White Rose System - Linden, NJ

The Taylor Ham (or pork roll, as we refer to it), egg and cheese, the unofficial state sandwich of New Jersey, is a specialty of the White Rose, and you'll find none better. The "complete" includes chunks of home fried potatoes (an inspired combo), and the hero loads up a long roll with heroic portions of the standard ingredients. Lunchtime favorites include the popular rugged-textured burger on a hard roll, Italian hot dogs, and an intriguing SUPER HOT Sausage Sub.

A traditional New Jersey Taylor Ham, egg, and cheese is served on a hard roll.  That setup is available at the White Rose, of course, but we recommend going one step further and getting your sandwich on a hero roll.

The Complete completes the traditional configuration with chunks of home fries.  Superb!

The sheets tacked along the counter that serve as a menu show a distinctly Jersey spin on the traditional lunch counter offerings.  Click on the photo for a readable view.

White Rose's distinctive alternating bands of bright white and gleaming chrome can't be missed.  It sits along a Linden street lined with small industry.
