DefaultGen | 5,669 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 If it's not, it's because food elitists made a sub they really like and now pretend it's in its own category of foodstuffs because they don't want it compared to lesser subs. It's just a long piece of bread with meat and cheese. A higher quality of a footlong steak and cheddar from Quiznos. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arch_8ngel | 1,597 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) The real question is what bread dimensions make a sandwich a "sub". Is a hotdog a sub? (it is certainly a "sandwich", at least) If not a regular hotdog -- is a footlong hotdog a sub? But yes, a Philly cheesesteak is a type of submarine sandwich. 1) it's a sandwich 2) it's significantly longer than it is wide 3) you generally keep the two halves of the bread connected (not a strict requirement, since some places do a full separation-slice or a trench cut -- but a pretty common feature of sub sandwiches) Edited May 6, 2021 by arch_8ngel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat-Doug | 5,110 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 They are usually on a sub roll so I would say yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richardhead | 2,923 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 It’s a garbage sub with garbage cooked onions. But it’s a sub nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're garbage. Since when are you too good for a Philly? Subway is a garbage sub. Phillies are heaven. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fcgamer | 4,866 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 It's a type of sub. I've never heard the term "sub sandwich" before though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sub is short for submarine sandwich.* Subs are also sometimes called hero sandwiches (or sometimes just heroes). *I have always wanted to open a sandwich shop called "Captain Nemo's." 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Code Monkey | 2,074 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Is it a sandwich shaped like a submarine? Then it's a submarine sandwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMR | 532 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) I said no because a philly just seems more special to me. I ate one today. It was great. Just wanted you all to know. Edited May 7, 2021 by CMR 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phart010 | 1,757 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I usually think of subs as having lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and other garden vegetables on it. Phillies in that regard are a sandwich but not quite a sub. Yet they do serve them at Subway... although they also serve wraps, salads and did serve pizza... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about meatball and chicken parmesan subs though... I think a lot of hot subs don't necessarily have such an array of veggies on them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Count | 577 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I feel like it's not a sub unless it's made by Subway. A Philly is in it's own category of sandwich regardless of the bread vessel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
