sub wars
It’s amazing what happens when you combine deli meat, cheese, veggies, and seasoning (or more) between two slices of bread (in this case, a subroll). Whether you call it a hoagie, a submarine sandwich, or a hero, there’s no denying that these double-sized sandwiches are worth craving.
When I visited my local sub-shop, I always asked where the best-selling was, and everyone without exception said Italian or meatballs. Of course I had to try both!
