This kicking ciabatta sandwich features fun accoutrements on a nice ciabatta bread. It’s portable and packed with flavor for game day.
One simply does not appreciate an ‘Italian’ hoagie unless they are from Philly.
I have tried these submarine sandwiches in other parts of the country. They are just depressing knock offs of what should be a joyous thing  with a few thin slices of meat, piled high with wilting iceberg lettuce on a limp roll.
A proper Italian hoagie is magic, covered in oil, on a perfect roll, piled high with a variety of deli meats and cheese and topped with all the trimmings. It’s something we just do right.
This fancied up version isn’t an Italian hoagie. It’s a kicking sandwich with fun accoutrements on a nice ciabatta bread.
It’s portable and packed with flavor but I felt the need to clarify that this wasn’t trying to be its big brother. It is what it is, and it’s not going to leave you disappointed. Make with whatever sliced sandwich meats you have that are needing to be used up.
Don’t think too hard. Let yourself enjoy the flavors.
