The New York Italian Hero. Whether you call it a deli-style Italian sub, hoagie, grinder, or whatever, I call it absolutely delicious! To make a good one you need good quality Italian cold cuts. For this classic Italian hero, we added capicola (also known as gabagool, coppa, cappy), salami, pepperoni, Boar's Head ham, and provolone cheese. Topped with a delicious oil and vinegar dressing, shredded lettuce mix, onions, tomatoes, and cherry peppers, this deli sub has it all! I hope you enjoy this Italian sandwich! This is the first episode in the Italian hero/sandwich series.

    wrapping the sandwich is the most overlooked step people NEVER do at home because why would you wrap a sandwich in your kitchen that your going to eat right there, but it gets everything in the sandwich to compress down and tightens up the whole package, critical finishing touch.
  • @codacreator6162
    I’m a huge sandwich lover. I could quite literally eat one for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day of my life and never get tired of them. The endless variety of ingredients makes it one of the most versatile foods on the planet. While people have tried to do the same with pizza, it is nowhere near as simple as the good old sandwich. Italian Hero is one of the best ever. Thanks for sharing!
  • @deebee4850
    I make these all the time, and have never thought of pre-seasoning my lettuce. That is a fantastic idea.
  • The fact that you are not afraid to use and show regular ingredients like Kirkland brand products, and your content is solid, concise and down to earth for regular people who love making good food earned you a like and a sub.
  • @CThangaraj
    Mouth is literally watering during this whole video. Soaking the onions and marinating the lettuce makes total sense. Keeps the lettuce fresh and softens the onion.
  • @tazmane3
    I know this is an older video, but man, your videos are really growing on me...I have shared them with a number of people. You are just down to earth, simple ingredients, right in your home...I love it.
  • @zeus6793
    I have never wanted an Italian sub more than I want one right now.
  • @levitodd8644
    Always extra vinegar for me, the tang sets these sandwiches way above any other in my book.

    Living in the Philly area, I've had MANY Italian subs/hoagies. It's one of my favorite sandwiches. In my opinion, the bread makes the sandwich, so a seeded roll is a must. I roast Italian long hot peppers in olive oil, with basil, and garlic and spread that on the sandwich.
  • @joannparker1977
    Finally! Thank you. I live in Austin and there’s NOBODY that comes close to what I remember from up east. I seriously crave these, after all these 52 years.
  • @farmerbob4554
    I like that you rinsed the onion, dressed the lettuce as well as the sandwich, made a boat out of the bread and used deli-sliced cold cuts. Hard to find but I like good Mortadella on mine to get a little of that “livery” flavor. A+ on your version Chef!

    i am an ex-pat long island girl who has lived on the jersey shore for a loooong time. you made me miss my rockville centre roots and the fact that we ate heroes....now i eat subs. love your channel and keep up the good work!!!!
  • @Gerisheng
    I've lived on the west coast for decades now and this video made me crazy. It's been so long since I had a "real" Italian hoagie, and now I know how to make my own. Your recipe looks EXACTLY like what I remember from growing up and I can't wait to try it. Thank you!
  • @juliapowell7850
    Definitely making this! My husband and I have been on a Italian sub kick recently. Nothing better than homemade.
  • @nysavvy9241
    Love this..and you used real Italian bread with seeds...The only way to go...The crisper the better. Those cold cuts are my kryptonite. I can only buy what I will use that day or I'll pick on them all night until they're gone! That hero and some good potato salad and I'm in heaven. Thanks Jim.....for making me hungry!
  • I've always been a hideous sandwich maker. And when I say hideous, I mean HIDEOUS. My sandwiches always fall apart instantly. This video is just what I needed. Thank you!
  • @rudysmith6293
    I found all of the good quality ingredients you show in the video and I made subs just the way you demonstrated it, including the wrapper for the sandwiches. Fantastic. Best sangwitch I've had since I was in New York City. A very happy day. Thank you!

    The fine points and details like getting the meat sliced thin makes a huge difference.
  • @dasky17
    There’s something very soothing about watching Jim prep the toppings and the sound of the knife hitting the cutting board…
  • @heleneh-t5723
    That looked sooo good! Awesome tip on dressing the lettuce too. Thanks!
