Best Italian hoagie is somewhere between those two. Parkway has way too much meat, Martha’s has way too little. The perfect Italian hoagie is a balance of all ingredients and neither of those have it.

Can’t lie the best Italian hoagie I’ve had recently (and I live in south Philly with access to many great hoagies) was from Liberty Kitchen in fishtown. Absolutely expensive but holy shit those dudes put their whole elbow in that hoagie.

They have a good one, the spread is real nice and the bread is great. Best Italian in Fishtown’s got to go to Castellino’s though.

I really didn't like Dan's when I went, I know.its old school but old school doesn't have to mean dirty and dingy

I go there to buy sandwiches. Not for the ambiance, which isn’t even that bad.
Thunderhank t1_j3cn7n6 wrote
I love the sandwiches and the ambiance. Love seeing Dan sit in the back and read his paper. Feels like the 50s in there.
Void24 t1_j3cnmn8 wrote
100% and the lady that is usually making the sandwiches is so nice.

You just reminded me that the spread was really the thing that put it over the top into oh fuck territory

Re: your hoagie v sub response…
To my knowledge, one doesn’t have more or less meat than the other as the distinguishing factor. More or less, it’s regional with some minor differences as you detailed. We will never know because in their utter confidence in defense of their position, they posted a response and then swiftly deleted their account. Classic.

I understand the importance of a good ratio when constructing the ideal sandwich, but I respectfully disagree on this one.

I, personally, am grossed out by thick, homogenous layers of fleshy lunch meats. That top hoagie is a big no-go for me. The bottom is too much lettuce, but I would still prefer it because it wouldn't give me the heebie jeebies

I feel the same way about lunch meat. Especially if the texture is combined with sticky, slimy mayo. Gag.

What you're looking for is a sub then, not a hoagie.
thelatherdaddy t1_j3awap8 wrote
Fairly certain that is not the distinction.
BureaucraticHotboi t1_j3ax78t wrote
Correct I come from sub country. Subs and hoagies are more or less interchangeable. I will say a hoagie is more specific than just being on a long roll. The shredded lettuce, tomatoes and oil or mayo is more specific here than in the northeast US. Subs are just anything on a long roll. Hoagies mean a certain dressing on a long roll in my experience

The hoagie was supposed to be filling enough for poor workers which meant loading it with Italian meats and cheeses. If you want a bread salad, go eat a sub and don't ever try to correct me again.
