During this episode Nancy and I got to talking about regional sandwich favorites, like mine from New York, the sausage and pepper sub. What's your favorite from those thrilling days of youthful and indiscriminate sandwich gorging?
“I've got brown sandwiches and green sandwiches - it's either very new cheese or very old meat.”
