SUMMARY: Craving an Italian sub, I decided to make one at home since the nearest restaurants are far. The key is finding good bread with a crunchy crust, and local options like Henry’s Café, Le Bakery, and Rouses provide decent choices, though I prefer to hollow them out slightly. For the filling, classic ingredients include lettuce, tomato, onions, mayo, pepperoni, capocollo, genoa salami, and cheeses like provolone or taleggio. For a budget-friendly sub, I’d recommend veggies, pepperoni, and seared mortadella with a drizzle of olive oil and a quick oven warm-up to melt the cheese. Don’t skimp on the meat!
