Submarine Sandwich

It is thought that the original concept of these sandwiches came from the Italians who immigrated to New York in the late 1800s and brought with them their favorite Italian Sandwich recipes 1926 - Many historians claim the first submarine sandwich was served in New London, Connecticut in 1926.
