I grew up on Beaumont Ave and 187th street in little Italy the Bronx. The very same neighborhood Robert Deniro’s A Bronx tale is based on. Every Italian deli in my neighborhood served their Italian heroes with lettuce and tomato.

Who says you shouldn't put lettuce on an Italian sub? I grew up in a VERY Italian neighborhood in the 1950's and every corner store had a good Italian sub whether the owners were Italian or not. They all served their subs with lettuce. Be that as it may that looks like a perfect Italian sub to me. Thanks.

I'm a Spaniard living in Denver and it's been along time since I've eaten a he-man sandwich like this...I better tell my wife to get on the ball!! Great video...I can taste the sandwich from here.

Its easy to underestimate the impact of good lettuce. And a healthy amount. He nailed the amount. Adds fresh + crunch to the bite. Perfect.

This is how I make my Italian subs, generally. After putting the meats, cheeses, and onions on the bread I toast the sub open-faced, in a convection oven at 325 for 6 minutes. Then take it out and keep building with the other fresh veg / dressing. I just prefer how the salami (and pepperoni as well sometimes) tastes with a little heat, and the cheese to be a little melty. Ups the flavor - for me. Great vid!

I know what you mean. First time I ever had a TOASTED ITALIAN sub at a shop I had to ask what is that. After they explained it to me, I said sounds good & had one. I was hooked from that day. I'll still eat a cold one but if I have a choice...TOASTED ITALIAN SUB all the way!

"Make it nice." I couldn't agree more.

You're missing the good tight deli wrap. Let them all speak to each other "whether they want to or not". But honestly, its a great sandwich that wrapped would probably pop a lot more. You're taking care for every bite that can fall away with every bite. It explains the lettuce complaints too, in a tight deli wrap lettuce (especially dressing it like that) it tends to go from crisp to wet

It looks more tantalizing delicious This is my favorite overloaded Italian Sub.

Love a good Italian sub and you certainly have the right meats, cheese, veggies (yes I love shredded lettuce), dressing and the right bread is a must. HOWEVER...one thing that I would never add is salt. Each one of those meats is cured with SALT, the cheese SALT, the pickles SALT, the peppers SALT, the dressing SALT. I can see black pepper and oregano, but adding extra sodium (I believe there were three additional sprinkles of SALT) make this like a week's load of sodium. I doubt anyone would miss the additional salt.

@@jeffadams4590 “Gabagool” (some sort of North Jersey bastardization of the word capicola) is like a fattier cut of ham. In my opinion the best of the best in terms of cold cuts. Usually come in spicy or sweet varieties, both are great. Harder to find if you’re just picking up cold cuts from a supermarket, but if you have an Italian deli near you, no doubt you could get some there. Definitely worth a try, ya won’t be disappointed.

My Italian godparents did it like this. Only, they would put the vinegrette or Italian dressing right onto the bread.. then smoosh the halves together a little bit.. then spread a little mayo & mustard. I still make my own subs this way. And like you, I use ham (sometimes prosciutto), mortadella, salami, and of course gabagool (I could make the sandwich with just the that 😋) and provolone.. then all the veggies. Hard to find a sandwich shop here in CA that can do it like this!

We used to go to a place that would put the meat & cheese under a salamander before topping it with the lettuce, tom, onions, & pepper mixture. The bread had a nice toasty flavor & made it hold together better.

I'm from South Philly and those are all the perfect ingredients for an Italian hoagie down to the Gabgool! Hahaha! 😁 We put onions lettuce tomatoes and pickles too. No mayonnaise!! Its all about the highest quality and the freshest ingredients. There is a place in North East Philly where the owner will kick you out the store if you order an Italian Hoagie with mayonnaise! Hahaha, its their tradition! I think it's Jacks in Mayfair.

It had Amer. Cheese, olives and green peppers in it as well as the Italian cold cuts tomato and onion. I don’t think there was lettuce in it, cant remember. My Mom would get them for us and I was just a little girl. I found the same Maine sub in different areas of the state over the years.

My Mom used to get an Italian sandwich when she was a kid from a place in Portland, Maine which she copied and gave to her kids. She got them in the 1930's and the add in the local paper advertised them for 25 cents. The most important ingredient was always the bread and I've seen a lot of supposed Italian sandwiches on line where the bread looked terrible. This video had the bread looking like it's supposed to. My Mom used to get her bread from an Italian bakery on 9th Avenue, Hells Kitchen in NYC and bring it home with her on the subway. Great stuff.
