Took a drive down to Avon this morning for more than an inspirational Instagram post. Without the sea of bennies, and with a little warmth left in the air, this is one of the best times to be at the Jersey Shore so naturally, I'm going to take advantage of it, especially now that I'm waking up at 630am thanks to daylight savings. Bing's Beachside Deli was featured by Pete Genovese's top Pork Rolls in NJ feature on NJ.com so it's been on my radar for a while. After this week it seemed only right to have a guaranteed banger of a PEC and that's exactly what I got. The best thing about being down the shore during off-peak season is everyone around is an actual, real-life, beach person. With no tourists running around, everyone just seemed to be in a much better mood (or maybe it was because they were happy about the election results, I don't know). Anyway, I was warmly greeted by the employees, who seemed to know almost every person who walked in before and after me by name. I love that. We can all use a little community these days.
Bread Rating: 9.1/10 (Very unique, oval-shaped roll, perfectly toasted. This was the first (and maybe only?) place I've seen with this type of roll and it was fantastic.)
Pork Roll Rating: 8.6/10 (Four crispy, thick slices of pork roll that gave a good crunch upon biting but still kept its pork roll flavor. What I'm saying is that these were perfectly heated on the griddle.)
Egg Rating: 7.6/10 (Two large eggs over a little hard. Typically like them to be runnier but still not complaining. Sandwich was very solid overall.)
Cheese Rating: 8.2/10 (I love it when the cheese is melted into the toasted roll. Anytime you can get that "grilled cheese" flavor in addition to the pork roll, you are going to win.)
Sandwich Composition: 8.1/10 (Basically a grilled cheese with egg and pork roll on it. The SPK was expertly applied here and the size was very good.)
Overall: 8.32/10 (Just as advertised, Bing's brings it. Everything from the vibes of the deli to the execution was excellent. Absolutely a must to check out if you're down the shore around Avon.)
Price: $5.75
Bing's Beachside Deli is located at 222 Main St, Avon-By-The-Sea, NJ 07717
