There is a reason the Italian sub construction standards are so drastically altered and the story actually begins in Chester Pennsylvania in 1925. Augustine and Catherine Dicostanza were from Italy and they owned a small grocery store at 1212 W. Third Street. Only four doors from the store was a pool hall where gamblers would meet regularly. One Saturday afternoon in the summer of 1925, Mrs. DiCostanza was busy in the kitchen frying up some hot and sweet peppers when a man walked into the store for a pack of cigarettes. He was attracted, no doubt by this heavenly aroma coming from the kitchen and at this point he decided that he might be a little hungry too; he asked Mrs. Di to make him a sandwich.
"OK, pick out what kind of lunchmeat you want," she said. He looked into the case and with an Italian hand waving gesture said: "Put everything you have in the case on it.” She took a long loaf of Vienna bread, sliced it lengthwise and proceeded to put on all of the lunchmeat, Capicola, Hamcudighino, Prosciutto and Provolone cheese. She also cut an onion and a tomato and wet the large Vienna roll down with olive oil, then sprinkled it with salt, pepper and oregano.

In America, name a more working class and humble food item then the italian sub. You can't.

Describe in detail exactly how you like an Italian sub.

say that to my italian sub in person and not online and see what happens

does anyone else warm up their cold cuts when making a sandwich?
it's nice to have a thick stack of cold cuts, but normally it's good to just warm up a couple slices. it really makes for a nice sandwich.

Cubano is pretty based but the classic italian will always be #1. Literally the perfect combo for a sub.

>2 of the most boring sandwiches are #1 & 2
shit list probably made by boring americans who put bacon on everything and think a cheese sandwich is something special.

A homemade Italian sub. Capicola, prosciutto, maybe mortadella, salami. And then of course the greens, the tomato, provolone, and dressing.
