A friend is organizing a big tailgate for a professional woman's soccer game. I think it is at Rutgers, or a nearby field. Her daughter is playing all day prior to the game, so they want to have the tailgate catered. Any suggestions for a great deli?
 
Try Sappore's, in Middlesex ... just past the Piscataway border on Lincoln Blvd. It's an Italian food specialty place, so it's not a traditional deli, but it has awesome subs, salads, pasta, etc. Guy that runs this place used to have a cooking show on public television. It is the real deal when it comes to good food, and the prices aren't bad. You won't be disappointed

Probably for the Sky Blue Soccer game John. Lots of fun if anyone has girls who play...they are the cream of the crop and you can get up close and personal on Yurcak Field.

I would highly recommend Food Architects in Piscataway or Twin Oaks in East Brunswick. Both companies work on the RU campus all the time and they are familiar with the lay of the land. They would deliver straight to the parking lot and your friend wouldn't need to run to a deli and grab everything.

I have used the Food Architects for catering small to somewhat larger events. Their food is really good and reasonably priced. In talking to the owner they also have standing orders for large tailgates at RU games ... They are on Stelton Road (near Stelton Lanes)
 
I do a couple of on-campus recruiting events every year for about 30-50 students and I use Gerlanda's in the Busch Campus Center. They do pizza, salads and subs quite nicely and the price is good, plus they're obviously conveniently located.
 
And of course the obvious....Rutgers University Catering. You can go on line and check out their menus and plan accordingly. Logistically perfect and the good is good. It all depends on what one may want to spend and want to eat.
