The biggest news to come out of Danny DeVito’s recent Wired video? The acting icon calls the Garden State’s signature breakfast dish Taylor ham despite being from Asbury Park, which is tried-and-true pork roll country. It’s the biggest development in the Taylor ham/pork roll war in years (or this month, whatever).

The second biggest news? He doesn’t eat it as a typical breakfast sandwich.
