What Makes a Hero Sandwich “Hot”?
A hero sandwich, sometimes called a sub, hoagie, or grinder, is a sandwich made with a long, soft roll and filled with a variety of meats, cheeses, vegetables, and condiments. The “hot” part of the hero comes from the fact that it is toasted or baked in the oven, allowing the cheese to melt and the flavors to blend into a deliciously warm and gooey masterpiece.
The key to a perfect hot hero sandwich is the combination of hearty ingredients that are just the right balance of salty, savory, and tangy. Whether you prefer cold cuts, grilled chicken, or a veggie-loaded version, the options are endless!
