The Allentown steak sandwiches are finally chopped meat grilled
and put into a roll that is actually quite small in terms of length.
But it's almost hollow and holds a lot of meat in a small-looking
amount of space. They have onions and bit of tomato sauce and flavor
in there, but it's not overbearing. The whole sandwich is very simple
and also very steal-able. If someone wanted to open a shop anywhere
in the USA, I suppose they could just have the same ingredients used
in the A-town sandwiches. I don't consider myself a plagarist, nor
would I think that of anyone who uses someone else's recipe. It would
be a tribute instead of thievery. Hah hah hah hah hah.

On this hometown topic: When I was a kid there was a hoagie place
on every other block. The whole place would not be a hoagie shop,
just a small part of it. I was never a big hoagie lover because I
didn't care for cold cuts on a regular basis, but more as a treat.
But most all the places used real olive oil and would put it on top of
the hoagie along with a bit of vinegar on top of the shredded lettuce
that went atop the meat and cheese.
