Italian Sub

Cultural Context

The Italian Sub, also known as a submarine sandwich, originated in the Italian-American communities of the Northeastern United States. It reflects the immigrant experience, combining various Italian cured meats and cheeses in a convenient format. Today, it's a staple at delis and sandwich shops across America, often customized with different toppings and sauces to suit individual tastes.
