No lie. I’m from Piffsburgh. Subs/Hoagie/Submarines are more prevalent there than Cheesesteaks.

The subs Cliff was eating looked like some Piffsburgh area piff.

Yea, that was weird. One, we eat cheesesteaks in Philly. I’m from Delco but it’s close enough. Two, we do eat “hoagies” too but they’re called subs. You ask Ralphie and Saul for an Italian Sub with hot peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, light mayo and light oil, pickles and a dash of pepper. You don’t ask for an Italian Hoagie

Subs are low key just as popular as cheesesteaks. Everyone has there spots for each.

Never heard anybody in Philly say “sub” not once in my life.
