Summer officially starts this week, and with it, beach season. One of the best things you can do to help fuel you through a day in the sun is to start the day off with a pork roll, egg, and cheese on the beach. That's why for the next few months, I'll be exclusively heading to pork roll spots you can hit on the way to the beach. I know, not everyone will be coming from the same direction so I'll spread it out for anyone coming from any point in Monmouth County. Of course, the closer to the beach, the better, you wouldn't want to start off your day with a cold pork roll. Today, I'm stopping at the first deli I come across on my 8-mile (they should make a movie about this) drive to the beach, Fairwinds Deli in Fair Haven. This is the type of deli I would recommend to anyone coming to the Jersey Shore for the first time as it has an incredible local vibe to it and they whip up a very good breakfast sandwich.
Bread Rating: 8.2/10 (Hard roll is the way to go, and theirs is pretty good. Slightly bigger than the hard rolls you'll find in some of the other surrounding delis.)
Pork Roll Rating: 9.4/10 (Five perfectly cut slices, with the egg and cheese in between them. I'm not sure if it was the griddle or what, but the pork roll here was incredible.)
Egg Rating: 8.4/10 (A fried egg with a little bit of a runny yolk is something I haven't found all that often and it killed. )
Cheese Rating: 8.1/10 (Plenty of cheese to be had here, typical yellow American, expertly melted.)
Sandwich Composition: 8.9/10 (Everything here was spot on, from the SPK to the placement of pork roll, cheese, egg, more cheese, more pork roll. Spectacular.)
Overall Rating: 8.6/10 (Great vibes, great sandwich, if you get to Sea Bright through River Road, consider this as your spot.)
Price: $5.95, cards accepted.
Fairwinds Deli is located at 798 River Rd, Fair Haven, NJ 07704
