What I would do to go back in time to go to Gregory's with Dad to get two large Italians with hots, and a small tuna sub for Mom. That was a good no-cook dinner for 3.

Reading Mass, bah, Watertown, where a high percentage of Italians, Greeks and Albanians were, is where a real Italian sub is made.

Been the Italian Mafia seaside destination for decades. Slowly eroding away. An Italian once told me the best Italian restaurants are in Scituate and not in the North end. It's been a while since I've been there. There was a bistro to die for just before you hit the beach. The Italian sub has all Italian fixings with provolone and the right combo of red wine and vinegar. I'm hungry!

BH, unless you consider the Charles River seaside, Watertown is a stretch to be called a seaside destination.

All this talk of food and not one decent picture of a really good sub.

I think you guys can do better.

That said, the last thing I really need is convincing I need another sub.

And now my mouth is watering again thinking about that meatball sub I dont have.

Oh and that hair cut I wont be getting where they are playing the Beverly Hillbilly's and not charging like $40.

And, that Sawyers Coffee frappe that is like 90 miles away,,,

Oh and lets not forget that cheap gas we dont have down here for my ZERO MPG truck!

Errrr #@%$#^$%&@!!!

Ok, done,,, for the moment.

In my 60+ years visiting and loving the lakes region, I have never found a crusty bread for a proper hero. As requested in the prior post, here is an outrageously good hero. The only problem is the deli is located in Nutley, NJ, about 10 miles west of the Lincoln Tunnel and 10 minutes from MetLife Stadium. Mangia!

My favorite: Chicken cutlet with prosciutto, mozz and roasted peppers. The bread is from Calandro's Italian bakery which has been in northern NJ for decades.

Jojos subs today. We got the #10, and it was mostly roll, with very little inside. We had give it some “guts”at home, so we were very disappointed. We think they might be trying to keep the price down by skimping on the innards, and that’s not a great option. Their subs were much better earlier this season.
