Serious Eats unleashes the Ultimate Sandwich Style Guide
August is National Sandwich Month and to end things on a high note, the good folks at Serious Eats have put together a mind blowingly comprehensive guide to sandwich styles. Of course, being sandwich savvy Philadelphians we wanted to see where they came in on three specifics: hoagies, cheesesteaks and roast pork.
Here's what author Jed Portman has to say about our holy trinity of sandwiches:
"Philadelphia's most famous contribution to the sandwich world began life as a steak hoagie but has earned its own name and reputation. While Cheez Wiz is a popular topping, it's just as acceptable in most establishments to ask for provolone, or even American cheese on your steak. The thinly-sliced beef is sometimes garnished with sauteed onions, peppers, or mushrooms. Some people like to add a little ketchup, mayonnaise, or even pizza sauce and mozzarella, which would make the sandwich a "pizza steak." The "real" Philly cheesesteaks come on fresh rolls from local bakery Amoroso's."
"The hoagie may be nothing more than a Philadelphian sub. While origin stories vary, the hoagie today, much like the submarine, includes an Italian roll filled with meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and various condiments. It's different from Italian-roll sandwiches in other parts of the country, some Philly natives argue, because the old-school joints make it using fresh bread from local bakeries."
"Roast pork, broccoli rabe, and provolone cheese are a holy trinity of Philly flavors. It really deserves as much attention as the better-known cheesesteak."
