I’ve only been to Subway twice in my life. Both times, I was on the road looking for a sandwich to bring back to the hotel room. Both times, I was massively disappointed.
Having lived most of my life in NYC and Philly, I’m spoiled. Any deli can make a great hero, or hoagie. In my opinion, of the chains, Primo Hoagies is the best. However it can’t touch some local places that I frequent.
Tomorrow, I will be in North Jersey. Already salivating over picking up some sloppy Joe’s from Town Hall Deli. (They’re not the sloppy Joe’s made with ground beef. These are 2 meats, Swiss cheese, dry cole slaw, Russian dressing on rye). Definitely a NJ institution!
