    The Fresh Grocer at 40th & Walnut used to have that same hoagie for $10.99 about 7 years ago. The price of food has really gone up!

    As soon as he said market, I knew it was Fresh Grocer. My former mother in law got me hooked on the one at 56th street a block from the el. My Kids who are now grown, go there. Philly tradition. Real Talk..

    It's a well kept secret. Some supermarkets make excellent subs. We have two chain stores in my area that have great bread and are off the hook. Boars Head brand meats and sauces are key.

    During World War I, Italian immigrants who worked at the Hog Island shipyard began making sandwiches; they were initially called “hoggies” before the name hoagie took hold, The Original was DiCostanzo's Deli on 3rd St in Chester, PA. The rolls were made by a local bakery with a unique soft inside and a crusty outside, which was thought to be the result of the water used in the dough. I don't know if all of that is true, but I've heard the same story for many years from many Delaware County folks. My aunt and uncle had a sandwich shop for many years at PMC College (now Widener University) and did very well. Phil and Jims in Parkside is one of the best, ever.

    I had heard how good these hoagies were & when I tried one I was shocked how big & heavy it was, loaded with meat & all the condiments I had requested.
    Other hoagies can last me two days, Fresh Grocer's lasted longer.
    Without a doubt, FG is now my hoagie place.

    The Hoagie is made on how you see a Hoagie needs to be made,bye the ingredients and sizes of it.you can also see the texture and tenders of how the ingredients work as one. 2.The cheese steak meat fits the bread perfectly and the ingredients helps the cheese steak taste better.
