[edit] Benny Capalbo, New London, CT

I'm finding sources that credit Benny Capalbo with the invention of the Submarine Sandwich. Is this accurate? Not sure what his contributions were. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Twillisjr (talk • contribs) 14:51, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Funny Joke Time, Get Ready For It Guys

I'd like a toasted multiple with extra cheese please

Nice one

Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.245.212.163 (talk) 05:09, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Assessment

Due to the poor formatting of the citations, I have reassessed this article as a C-class. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 07:38, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Submarine in Canada

"The name "submarine" has become virtually the standard term in Canada, thanks to a large chain of fast-food restaurants serving the sandwiches under the name of "Mr. Submarine" (or Mr. Sub currently)."

Maybe this is an older term? I've never seen Mr. Sub called "Mr. Submarine" and nobody I've ever known has gone to eat "submarines". Everyone knows sub is short for submarine sandwich but nobody would call them anything other than subs...

In fact, Subway is quite a bit more popular than Mr. Sub, as far as I know, which leads me to believe this could be a stealth advertisement for Mr. Sub. MatttK (talk) 11:36, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

[edit] See also/pret a..

Removed pret from See also, nothing significant about pret that warrants it being listed.Bjorn I. Clever (talk) 23:31, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Grinder

The description for Grinder is :

Grinder (Italian-American slang for a dock worker)—New England, Inland Empire of Southern California.[4] Called grinder because it took a lot of chewing to eat the hard crust of the bread used. In Pennsylvania, the term grinder refers to a sandwich that has been heated. In eastern Massachusetts a Grinder is a toasted sub, for example the sub is toasted in a pizza oven.

Well which is it, is the term 'grinder' used because it's slang for a dock worker, or because it took a lot of chewing? The chewing reference is uncited and sounds frankly like utter nonsense, but the dock worker reference also makes no sense; why is a food named after a dock worker, if the food has nothing to do with dock workers? 99.98.221.223 (talk) 02:21, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Dude, have you ever eaten one? The chewing reference makes perfect sense to me. (It is uncited, though.) This article is making me hungry, by the way. rowley (talk) 15:51, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Heros?

If the plural of the roll is heros, why does the rest of the article spell it as heroes? Autocorrect?81.178.145.243 (talk) 07:46, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
