Buffalo716 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Youāre heading to Buffalo on a away week?Ā Ā And it all depends what kind of subs or stuff you want.. Hot cold Ā If you want something like a chicken finger sub.. You can probably go to any local mom and pop pizzeria Ā If you want like roast beef or some thing Charlie the Butcher Ā Artones in south Buffalo is super famous for its steak hoagieĀ Ā Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Charlie the Butcher is a solid idea; that will offer you a special, memorable meal, which I guess is what you are after. Ā For this type of quick meal Charlie is great. Ā Another idea might be to hit one of the Anderson's locations and do some roast beef, Ā curly Q fries, and get a twist for dessert.

They even have that signature Italian sausage/capicola Royal sub popular in WNY. Looks every bit like John & Maryās or other Buffalo area sub shops. Itās about 30 minutes up I-75 for me. Looks like thereās another one south of Atl in Fayetteville. Havenāt tried it yet, but plan on going to Cartersville some afternoon.

That's No Moon Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) Living in Philly has spoiled me for hoagies. FWIW, grinders are toasted, hoagies are not, cheesesteaks are not hoagies or grinders, and the best sandwich in Philly is the roast pork with sharp provolone and broccoli rabe. Ā That said, I'm Jonesing for a chicken finger sub in the worst way. Edited October 18, 2022 by That's No Moon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
