Great BBQ and a wrestling connection! Let's go when things open up. We can sit outside and stay clear of each other while we have bacon, bbq, and beer.

I would eat a terd wrapped in Mikes bacon.
Absolutely a date, you said we should go somewhere nice, but we could go to 3B’s instead lol.
A submarine sandwich, also known as a sub, hoagie, hero, or grinder, is a type of sandwich consisting of a length of bread or roll split lengthwise and filled with a variety of meats, cheeses, vegetables, and condiments. The sandwich has no standardized name, with over a dozen variations used around the world.
Faicco's on Bleecker St. in Manhattan, where I usually get a hero with prosciutto de parma, fresh mozzarella, sun dried tomatoes, oil and vinegar. Costs about $13 but extremely worth it. If you're a couple it's better to share one because they're big and dense.
There used to be a place near Little Italy that was as good as Faicco's but that closed awhile ago.
Pic below is from Faicco's and similar looking to (but not exactly) the sandwich I describe above.
I prefer the sandwiches from Alleva Dairy on Grand Street.
Personally, I think the ultimate wrestling irony is that Johnson & Wales University sponsors a wrestling team. Although I doubt (m)any on their roster are in any of the culinary tracks.
Thanks for the info. Will check out next trip up to Harrisburg area. Their website indicates a place on the West Shore also. Gotta like that their hours are 10:30 to 3:00 PM most days -- that indicates that they have a very specific product and market. (and based on what you say -- better get there early).
Ha...after living in North Carolina for a number of years, I take barbecue for granted and miss the great hoagies and cheesesteaks of Eastern/Central PA. When I visited the Reading Terminal Market last year, I thought I was in food heaven.
They also import some Philly soft pretzels. They do not last long either. Have never eaten at the West shore location near Lemoyne I believe.
Wish I would have known about that last summer. We were there for a week. Although we did find some really good restaurants.
I keep looking at the ingredients on the bag... so addicting I swear they add crack to hook us. A great chip.
I just tried Hoageez for the first time last week! I went in with low expectations and came out blown away. Probably the best hoagie spot in Harrisburg. They have a second location in Lemoyne which is where I went.
Yeah, that place is great too. Since it was right across the street, I wonder if you recall the place simply called "Italian Food Center." Alleva is on the NE corner of Mulberry and Grand, Italian Food Center was on the NW corner. Confusing matters slightly, Italian Food Center was eventually converted to an upscale restaurant keeping the same name (which recently closed). Anyway, that's the place I was referring to in my original comment. Google streetview (from 2009) below:
Best hot dogs could probably have its own thread. By the time we get back to wrestling, we may be able to cover all the major food groups: sandwiches , hot dogs, barbecue, etc.
A little Hoageez history:
Through the years this famous sandwich had numerous spellings; one constant that remained was its pronunciation as “hoageez”.
There are several legends of how the hoagie originated but the most widely accepted one revolves around a shipbuilding yard known as Hog Island. Hog Island is the historic name for an area southwest of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, along the Delaware River. The Philadelphia International Airport now sits on the land that was once Hog Island.
In 1917, as part of the World War I effort, the US government contracted American International Shipbuilding to build ships and a shipyard at Hog Island. At the time, Hog Island was the largest shipyard in the world with 50 slipways. The shipbuilding continued until 1921, after which the facility was rapidly demolished and the construction of the airport began.None of the ships were ready in time to participate in World War I, but many of them were involved in World War II.
At its peak, Hog Island employed over 36,000 men and women
many of which were immigrants. The Italian workers brought giant loaves of bread filled with cold cuts, cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion and peppers for their lunches. These sandwiches attracted a lot of attention from the other workers who started calling them the Hog Island sandwich. Before long, co-workers asked if they could buy these delicious sandwiches from the Italians. Over time, the Hog Island sandwiches began getting the nickname of “hoggies”. Sometime after World War II this morphed into the spelling of hoagie as we know it today.
Through the years this famous sandwich had numerous spellings; one constant that remained was its pronunciation as “hoageez”.
Named the “official sandwich of Philadelphia” in 1992.
Its no wonder our kidz cant spell (and 17% of our bored members)

We ventured to Katz Deli, with tikk (our guide!) and a whole gaggle of others, several from here, back in 2016 during the NCAA Championships. Most got the famous pastrami sandwich. Food was excellent, the company was better.

That's actually a great question. Would be so tough to choose. Tossup between a shrimp dinner or pizza. Feet to the fire I'm going with....
Appetizer- A basic salad with extra blue cheese dressing. Iceberg lettuce not that shitty leaf lettuce. Red onion a must. Chow mein noodles as topper.
Main Course- My mothers homemade pizza. Unbelievable how she has mastered her pizza. Totally honest.... there are no pizza parlors in the johnstown/altoona area that I'd choose over hers. She claims the secret is all in using the freshest of mozzarella but I dont know. She makes a sweeter sauce which I love.
**Full disclosure** Pizza in my area is horrible.
Dessert- A banana blueberry milkshake from a fast food chain found in North Carolina called "The Cookout"...
Beverage- My very own Southern Style Sweet Tea. I make my own because it's hard to find a true southern style tea in North. McDonalds about as close as you can get although the dollar general store sells Swiss southern style sweet tea that not bad.

Pete's Coney Island in downtown johnstown. Great chili and the wettest chopped onions you can find. Chopped onion aficionados know what I'm talking about. Lol
Mike from American pickers is a hot dog man. He seemed to enjoy them....he ate 6 of them. Lol

Howd you feel about the barbecue slaw topping off the sandwhich ? At first I was a bit apprehensive but damn it sets it off!Ha...after living in North Carolina for a number of years, I take barbecue for granted and miss the great hoagies and cheesesteaks of Eastern/Central PA.

Yep, the slaw is an important part of it. Some different variations on the slaw and seasoning.
Hush puppies also go well with the supper meal; a barbecue sandwich with slaw on it is a good choice for lunch.
Exactly. Hushpuppies is my go to side. Btw, I like the slaw drenched in the bbq sauce.Yep, the slaw is an important part of it. Some different variations on the slaw and seasoning.

I think I'd go with an all-you-can-eat buffet and I'd eat real slow.
CookOuts are all over Richmond now... oreo cookie is fantastic - made me leave the DQ
You can start a new thread, but this has to be at the top of the list, where it shall remain:

I may go there for a six pack, but I’ll be damned if I’m gonna get a wiener from a guy named LuckyLouie.
Actually it's a girl named Katie. But she has a great sense of humor. You should try the Dixie Normous. But I want to hear you order it!
Normally I'd frown upon an almost better question that my original post, but I'll let it slide because it's the off-season and damn intriguing.
