I remember about ten years ago The Frugal Gourmet did a show on italian
sandwiches and went to a restaurant in Chicago famous for these
sandwiches and got their recipe. I remember watching the show and the
sandwiches looked so good I went out and bought the cookbook the recipe
appears in, which is The Frugal Gourmet Cooks Italian. You can
probably find it at any bookstore or Ebay. The recipe is very good.
