Summary
- Tick Tock Diner named a sandwich after Mick Jagger in 2019.
- Jagger mentioned eating Taylor ham, egg, and cheese with disco fries.
- Controversy surrounds whether Jagger actually visited the diner.

The Tick Tock Diner in Clifton, New Jersey, a 24/7 establishment since 1948, gained notoriety when it named a sandwich after rock icon Mick Jagger in 2019. This happened after Jagger mentioned stopping by the diner during a tour stop in the state that year. He spoke of enjoying Taylor ham, egg, and cheese alongside disco fries and a sloppy joe.
The diner's 'Mick Jagger' sandwich includes two fried eggs, cheese, and Taylor ham, a breakfast meat known by that name in North Jersey, served on a roll. It's traditionally accompanied by disco fries, another local favorite. Despite the publicity, some doubt Jagger's actual presence at the diner, questioning if the health-conscious rock star would indulge in such heavy fare, especially after recent heart surgery.
Waitstaff at the diner reported not recognizing Jagger or his companions, suggesting they wished to remain low-key. The diner's owner corroborated this, stating Jagger was heavily disguised. Jagger's mention of the diner, alongside jokes about New Jersey being the 'health food capital,' has fueled the speculation about the authenticity of his visit.
