Hoagies were the first ever large/long sandwiches, well at least the first to be marketed and commercialized. They were invented in the late 1800's on Hog Island, were originally called Hoggies, which eventually became Hoagie.

A traditional Italian Hoagie is on an Amoroso's roll (the roll is KEY), with Ham, Genoa Salami, Provolone Cheese and Hot Capicola with sweet peppers, onions tomatoes, shredded lettuce, olive oil and oregano. For those who like Subway (vomit), it resembles a BMT.

A Grinder, which is also a local fav to be ripped of by Quiznos, is basically any Hoagie that is thrown in the oven and roasted before eating. Italian Grinders are my favorite.
