    Those sandwiches also come in regional variations up north. Grinders or Hoagies.

    My wife took me to a local deli where she grew up in CT. I got a meatball sub.

    The roll was from my finger tips to my elbow. it had 4 meatballs on it bigger each than my fist. It was around $12.

    She got the same, but a pepperoni version with tomatoes and lettuce. Each one had to have been 5 lbs of meat.

    In New Jersey I got a hoagie, the bread was so big, you couldn’t close your grip around it using both hands
