Grinder Sandwich Recipe
A grinder sandwich, also known as a toasted hoagie or sub, is a popular Italian-American sandwich made with a long crusty roll filled with various meats, cheeses, and vegetables. The signature grinder salad, made with shredded lettuce, chopped vegetables, vinegar, and spices, adds a zesty kick to the sandwich.
