We need to give a big "thank you" to Subway sandwich shops, who seem to have redeemed themselves over the whole child-molester-is-the-face-of-your-business thing, for the brilliant portrait of Italian American life, right down to the Mafia boss who tries to shake the main character down, in their newest ad campaign.

I understand they're launching a 'Potatoes n' Guinness' sub this fall that features a drunken leprechaun as the spokesperson.

It's quaint how the Californians lust after East Coast genuine subs, and pretend they don't buy the pretend stuff at 'subway'...
If you like I can mail some actual Cappicola & Prosciutto, but the entire premise is based upon Fresh EC Italian Torpedo rolls.
So face the facts -- The Californians have balmy weather, fluffy hair, no Subs or Pizza, but also no Deer Ticks.
And good surfing, you've got that. But lousy pizza.
Only complete fools actually get 'subway' stuff here in Jerseyland, as there are plenty good Delis and Italian joints.

No,
No,
'Jersey Mike's' chain is a few steps up from 'Subway' chain, but I get my Subs from the local spots with good ingredients.
Really the best ones are those with a good Sit-Down Tablecloth area, with a take-out counter for bums like me.
The one with the excellent Roast-Pork Broccoli Râbe sandwich has a nice dining area filled with large people eating large, expensive plates of Italian food. Really nice looking Dishes.

Mr. Jaz --
It's most likely available online, but Boar's Head brand is the 'Chevrolet' standard brand of cold-cut up here in Jerseyland.
There are more refined products out there, but they are consistent enough.
RRG's Husband was involved in Ultra-Premium Italian Hams & Cheeses some years back, and brought a delectable assortment to Gitmo Jam on the Hudson, way back when. I tasted some and they were the Very Best. Yummy stuff.
But RRG has been a rare presence here lately. How can I make a reasonable comparison ??
Mr. RRG stuff = Ferrari or Lamborghini
Boar's Head = Chevrolet / Buick.

So is it "Boar's Head" that makes your sandwiches so great? And is this he mystical brand that you're going to mail to people? Because I'm pretty sure it's everywhere. NKorea probably has boars head.

Mr. Badger --
Please read more carefully.
I stated that 'Boar's Head' brand is about the 'Chevrolet' grade of cold-cut deli meat here in Jerseyland.
No doubt your Wisconsin Cheese has many attributes that far surpass the 'Boar's Head' line of Cheese loafs.
Don't take it personally.

This reminds of the episode
This reminds of the episode of Jersey shore where Vinny, Pauly, Ron Ron, and The Situation went out to GTL (gym, tan, laundry) and I think they may have got haircuts too. After the gym they went to Subway, got drunk, danced to shitty music, argued with each other, and Ron Ron shoved Sammy which sent the house into a male vs female drunken rage.
