Super subs

Whether you call it a hoagie, hero, grinder or something else entirely, the submarine sandwich has held court in delis across the United States for more than 60 years. Assembling your own can be simple and fun; you’ll find high-quality sliced meats and cheeses at your local PCC as well as an assortment of artisan bread to make the perfect sub. Add a salad or soup from the PCC Deli to complete your meal.

Rethink the classic combo of meats, cheese, lettuce, tomato and onion on your sub sandwich. Here are three fresh ideas to get you started.

Sandwich Niçoise

Transfer the components of this classic French salad between slices of olive bread for a tasty sandwich twist. Chunks of tuna, hard-boiled eggs, tomatoes, mixed greens and Dijon combine for a flavor explosion.

Roast Beef Banh Mi

More traditional iterations of this Vietnamese sandwich feature pork or steak but sliced roast beef easily can be substituted in their stead. Carrots, cilantro and a spicy-sweet sauce round out this chewy baguette.
