What is a Hoagie?
Depending on which region of the United States you visit, you may find yourself ordering an overstuffed sandwich called a grinder, hero, submarine, torpedo or simply a sub sandwich. In the Pennsylvania/New York area, that sandwich would most likely be called a hoagie, although the word grinder can still be used somewhat interchangeably. A hoagie is an over-sized cold cut and cheese sandwich usually served on a long custom-baked bun reminiscent of a French bread baguette.
