This sandwich is one of the most delicious sandwiches I have ever had. The creamy lettuce slaw and super soft Italian bread takes a cold cut sandwich to a higher level of sandwich.
Grinder sandwiches are commonly classified as Italian, but it is a sandwich popular in the New England states, where many Italian heritage and culture is prevalent.
