I don't know if this is the proper place to post this or not, but this seems like the place to start things when you can't figure out a better place.

Is anyone here familiar with the cold-cut sandwich that I used to get as a kid when we lived in Philadelphia known as a Hoagie? I've had many people say "Oh yeah, a cheese-steak". NO!!! Not a cheese-steak! I'm talking about a cold-cut sandwich with several types of meat and cheese and VERY thinly sliced onions and God knows what else and finished with either oil and vinegar or italian dressing. I know some of you old folks know of what I speak. I lived in Philadelphia over 50 years ago, but I can still remember those sandwiches and nothing I have had since can hold a candle. We have gone to Philly a couple of times, but have not been able to find anywhere that made anything like them. I think mostly they were made in mom and pop deli's, but like I said, it's been over 50 years. Mainly, I want to know if there is anywhere in TV that has anything remotely close to this type of concoction. Subway doesn't count.

I thought I read somewhere on these boards that Jersey Mike's Subs had moved into the area of TV. We NJ folks love Jersey Mike's!!!!!!

Oh, I forgot to mention that the bread was a hard crust Italian type of roll.

Thanks to Google it's in the Rolling Acres Plaza Shopping Ctr. 674 North Hwy 27/441, Lady Lake Florida 32156. It's 6.4 miles(12 mins.) from Buena Vista Blvd.
I'm programming my GPS as we speak and wiping off the drool from the anticipated visit.

Please let me know how it is. That would be one of my favorite places when we get there.

And later you can drive another half mile south and get a great ham sandwich at the Honey Baked Ham store near Kohl's.

(they also sell ham bones for use in soup)

Jersey Mike's subs are good, but they are no hoagie ! I used to get mine in Ardmore....as a matter of fact a few times we skipped out of school at lunch to go get a hoagie. Think it is all in the sauce they put on hoagies.

We are still selling our house and live in the western subs of Philly. Dont know what I'm gonna do without being able to get an Italian Hoagie when we move to TV. Hope this Jersey Mike's is as good as they are claiming, might have to open our own deli.

Better make plans to open a deli.

I live in Jersey near Philly, and miss my Italian hoagies, I went to Publix, and told them how to make one, and it wasn`t bad. I also found the best Italian sausage peppers, and onion sandwich at the little stand in front of Home Depot.

Love that Hot Dog Stand at Home Depot!

When we stay at TV we love getting a sub at Publix. They have a large selection of breads, meats and condiments. Delicious. Recently a NJ Mike's sub shop opened in our area and we were very disappointed as we had heard so much about them. Too expensive for what we got.

If you open your own deli and make a great Italian Hoagie, we'll be frequent customers (when we move to TV).

In Delaware, we call them Italian Subs.

I have always thought that the Italian sub at Publix was as close to anything I got in northwest Jersey. In fact I think it is better because I can add the jalepeno and banana peppers.
