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.

California is world renown for the Cheese Steak Sandwich. Don't fall for that gibberish about Philly being the inventors, it was all us and we continue to hold the title for best Cheese Steak Sandwich.

I think ZebraRampage, Strangler, and I will have to totally disagree with this notion, but everyone can believe what they will.

BAH! New York hot dogs are crap. Grilled hot dogs, what a notion.

Chicago Hot Dogs (like Chicago Pizza) reign supreme. Vienna Beef dogs, boiled, not grilled, on poppy seed buns, with anything on them EXCEPT KETCHUP. You NEVER put ketchup on a hot dog.

Being from Western NJ, we get most of our food customs from Philly, Hoaagies and CHEEETAKES were already mentioned... the thing I didn't hear...

TOMATO PIES... thes things are well... they are kinda like sicillian pizza, but with no cheese, amazing sauce, and major olive oil.

Also, TOPPERS, which are more of a Trenton thing... they are beef burgers with chese on top, and PORK ROLL on top ic that all GRILLED on a bun... enough cholestrol and fat to make one die immedieatly, but everyone seems to love 'em.

I would have to assume that you were on crack when you wrote this, so I'll forgive you and plead that you visit your local rehab center
