Homemade Italian Subs


When the wife and I were in college (even before she knew I was the One) I took her to lunch nearly every day. Through that courtship, we fell in love with each other and, over time, with the Italian subs at a local pizza place called Tommy's. Tommy's combination of meats, Italian cheeses, and fresh toppings were a revelation. Combine that great combo with some crispy French fries and that was all it took. I became a lifelong fan. Years later, I live in another state, but Tommy's is still a favorite, especially when I get home for holidays or vacation. However, the cravings for Tommy's subs remain; the only solution to such a dilemma is to attempt to create my own version to tide me over between trips. So I did! Here is my version of the Italian Sub.
