I wish I knew of a really good place to get a decend authentic grinder in
Phoenix. I detest anything Subway has to offer, and while I don't mind
some of the things Quizno's has, it's not what I want. Real Italian meats
and cheeses don't seem to appear in many places here, unless I just don't
know where to go.
