The article discusses the heated debate in New Jersey over whether to call a popular local meat product "Taylor ham" or "pork roll." This contentious issue is the backdrop for the newly launched pop-up bar called Pancakes, which offers a unique cocktail called Pork Roll for Patrick. Co-founders Izzy Tulloch and Danielle De Block strive to create a fun and inclusive atmosphere with a menu featuring pancakes and inventive cocktails that pay homage to their New Jersey roots.
To make the fat-washed Taylor Hamhattan, Tulloch first caramelizes Taylor ham to render the fat, deglazes it with whiskey, then pours the mixture into large Cambros filled with Jack Daniel's and overproof rye.
Pancakes are such a fun anytime food. There aren't a lot of places where you can get a late-night pancake and a crispy, cold martini.
The ethos of pancakes is about being accessible to everyone, something that's comforting and celebratory.
Whether one refers to the processed product by its original brand name from 1856, Taylor ham, or the generic term, pork roll, most Garden State residents aren't likely to consider both names acceptable.
