This morning on Wikipedia, I learned why there used to be a panini called The Trenton Makes at Aldo’s Pizza Pies. In 1806, the Lower Trenton Bridge opened, connecting Trenton, New Jersey to Morrisville, Pennsylvania. A motto was added in 1935: TRENTON MAKES, THE WORLD TAKES.
The panini, by the way, is still on the menu but its name has been shortened to The Trenton: prosciutto, capicola, genoa salami, ham, American, provolone, marinated mushroom, pickled red onion, banana pepper, oil & vinegar, mayo, black pepper.
