Toasted Italian Grinders
Toasted Italian Grinders are delicious sandwiches that typically feature a combination of Italian deli meats, cheeses, and vegetables, served on a toasted roll. The meats commonly used include salami, pepperoni, ham, and sometimes capicola. These sandwiches are often topped with melted cheese, such as provolone or mozzarella, and garnished with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and other condiments like mayonnaise or Italian dressing. The bread is toasted to give it a warm and crispy texture, which adds to the overall experience.
