Grinder Sandwich
The Grinder Sandwich which originates from New England is another take on a sub sandwich or hoagie. The key difference in this sandwich is the lettuce salad that is made for the topping.

Notes
Tips for a good sandwich:
Use Fresh Cut Deli Meats and Cheeses - There is a huge difference between getting deli sliced meat fresh from the deli or buying pre-packaged meat and cheese.
Use Fresh Crusty Bread - You can use any type of bread you want with this, but a nice bakery fresh crusty roll or bun is the best in my opinion.
The Grinder Salad is the game changer - No longer need to slather on mayo and a hunk of lettuce. This grinder salad will make a world of difference to the sandwich.
