The secret is finely chopped burger, simmered for a long time to absorb the flavors, steamed buns, and boy they go down quick. The pickles, onions and mustard are essential as well.bookermomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15630417937884848973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517408.post-28287176639887395022008-03-22T11:09:00.000-04:002008-03-22T11:09:00.000-04:00I grew up in New Jersey and had never heard of Por...I grew up in New Jersey and had never heard of Pork Roll until I lived away for 19 years and moved back. My mother has never had pork roll either and her family has been here since the 1600s. I can't imagine that being the state sandwich. And, I lived in Utah for 17 years and have never heard of a Caputo. What kind of sandwich is that?
