Oddly, not everyone in Michigan subscribes to these definitions. How

Hoagie - Philly cheesesteak. Often handicapped by squishy bread, but
that's
the Midwest for you.

Grinder does not seem to be in common use in Michigan. "Sub" is
commonly used interchangeably for sandwiches on a long bun,
with or without lettuce, heated or not. I've never seen butter, and
mayonnaise should not be served on any sub that has Italian
antecedents.
Oil, vinegar, and oregano, please.

The lunchmeat subs at Gabriel's on Michigan Avenue in Ypsilanti are
an old-time classic. Unpretentious. Cheap lunchmeat served with
pride. Delicious.
