Formica Bros. Bakery, famous for its Atlantic City submarine sandwich breads, has diversified its business over the past century to find success in artisan baking, foodservice, co-packing and more.
New Jersey is home to a fantastic array of sandwich diversity. The state’s definitive ham sandwich, the pork roll, dates back to the 1850s (make it with an egg and a slice of American cheese and it’s known as “Jersey breakfast”). Its sloppy Joe, originating in the 1930s and named after a bar in Cuba, is more of a Dagwood-Cuban hybrid than what folks outside of Jersey would typically expect. Rippers star deep-fried hot dogs that get their name from the split typically formed from the frying process.

The artisan bakery received the award for its Ciabatta Bites, which will be showcased at the National Restaurant Association Restaurant, Hotel-Motel Show in Chicago this month.
