Now, that's a sandwich!

A friend took me to PrimoHoagies the other day, and it definitely took me by surprise.

First of all, it's right down the street and doesn't look like much from the outside.

Second, the menu is suspiciously like this small chain called Planet Hoagie that I used to frequent when my job was in the Philly burbs.

I don't know which chain is stealing from which, but they both have the goods. As much as I love the sliced-on-premises meats and cheeses, the bread is what puts these hoagies over the top. It's a nice, seeded Italian loaf from South Philly that's just tough enough to make you chew, and just soft enough to give under pressure.

I had my old favorite, The Soprano: roasted turkey, sharp provolone and roasted red peppers. So good.
