[[Image:QuiznosSub.jpg|thumb|250px|[[Quizno's]] submarine sandwich]]
A '''submarine sandwich''' is any of various [[sandwich]]es made on a long roll (usually up to 12" long by 3 " wide) or [[baguette]] (called "French bread" or a "submarine roll" in the U.S.) , so called because of its shape. The contents typically include [[meat]], [[cheese]], [[lettuce]], [[tomato]], and various [[condiment]]s, [[sauce]]s or [[dressings]].
The term is believed by some to have originated in a restaurant in [[Scollay Square]] in [[Boston, Massachusetts]] at the beginning of World War II. The sandwich was created to entice the large numbers of navy servicemen stationed at the [[Charlestown Navy Yard]]. The bread was a smaller specially baked [[baguette]] intended to be similar to the hull of the submarines it was named after<ref>Kelley, Walt. What They Never Told You About Boston (or What They Did That Were Lies). Camden, Maine: Down East Books, 1993.</ref>.
Another legend suggests [http://www.grapevine.is/undirflokkar.aspx?id=1065], the submarine sandwich was brought to the US by Dominic Conte, an [[Italian people|Italian]] immigrant who came to New York in the early [[1900s]]. He named the sandwich after a submarine hull he had seen on display. During [[World War II]], the sandwiches were served by the thousands to soldiers at the submarine base in [[Groton, Connecticut]] which cemented the legend that the sandwiches originated in Groton.
==Regional names and variations==
In the [[United States]], the terms "submarine" and "sub" are widespread[http://www.bartleby.com/61/50/S0845000.html], but there are also many regional names for the sandwich, especially in the northeast part of the country:
*Cosmo — North Central Pennsylvania in and around [[Williamsport, PA]] — a cosmo is an oven toasted sub.
*Grinder — [[Midwest]], Northern [[New England]], [[Riverside, CA]] — A submarine sandwich that includes taco meat and hot sauce along with the normal lunch meats and vegetables. Many say it originated at a small taco and sub shop in [[Grand Forks, North Dakota]] called [[The Red Pepper]]. According to another definition, an oven-toasted sub.
*[[Hero sandwich|Hero]] — [[New York]], northern [[New Jersey]] and the [[Eastern United States]]
*[[Hoagie]] — [[Philadelphia, Pennsylvania|Philadelphia]] and environs, including [[South Jersey]]
*[[Poor boy]] or [[Po' boy]] — [[Gulf Coast]], especially around [[New Orleans]]
*[[Spuckie]] — [[Boston, Massachusetts]] (now rare)
*Torpedo — New Jersey
*Wedge — Specific to some northeastern coastal sections of [[The Bronx, New York|the Bronx]], and the [[Long Island Sound]] shore towns of [[Westchester County, New York|Westchester]], New York, and Fairfield County, Connecticut, though definitely not universally recognized even in the region. Also in sections of northern New Jersey, adjacent [[Rockland County, New York|Rockland]] County, and [[Putnam County, New York|Putnam]] County in New York.
*Zep (likely truncation of [[zeppelin]]) — New Jersey and Norristown, Pennsylvania
*Italian — [[Maine]], where "Italian" is used regardless of the filling, which is specified separately, as a "ham Italian", "veggie Italian" or "roast beef Italian". A regular Italian is usually a ham Italian, made up of: ham, cheese, onions, olives, green peppers, pickles, and tomatoes. Italians are made to order at most convenience stores and gas stations. This term is also found in New Jersey.
An ''Italian sub'', ''Italian combo'', or ''Italian [[hoagie]]'' consists of Italian [[luncheon meat]]s, typically [[capicola]], [[prosciutto]], and [[Genoa salami]], with [[provolone]], lettuce, tomato, oil, and vinegar. Thinly sliced [[pepperoni]] and [[bologna sausage|bologna]] are sometimes added, and less expensive ham is often substituted for capicola and prosciutto.
A ''[[cheesesteak]]'' or ''steak and cheese'' is grilled sliced steak with melted cheese on a submarine roll. Common local variations include grilled onions, peppers, lettuce, tomato, ketchup or tomato sauce. The cheese is usually [[Processed cheese|American]], [[Cheddar cheese|cheddar]], [[provolone]], or [[Cheez Whiz]]. Cheesesteaks are strongly associated with the [[Philadelphia]] area, while "steak and cheese" is more often heard elsewhere.
Submarine sandwiches are sold by [[delicatessen]]s and a number of [[fast food]] restaurants and chains, including (listed by date opened); [[Jersey Mike's Subs]] (1956), [[Blimpie Subs]] (1964), [[Subway (restaurant)|Subway]] (1965), [[D'Angelo Sandwich Shops]] (1967), [[Mr. Sub]] (1968), [[Port of Subs]] (1972), [[Sub Station II]] (1975), [[Potbelly Sandwich Works]] (1977), [[Quiznos Subs]] (1981), [[Jimmy John's]] (1983), and [[Charley's Grilled Subs]] (1986). A small town will usually be the host of 2 or 3 sub shops.{{Fact|date=February 2007}} Larger cities have 2 or 4 sub shops per neighborhood.{{Fact|date=February 2007}}
