new england what now
My grandmother is from Philly but has been going to the Cape for decades. One of the first years she and my grandfather went up there, they saw a sign advertising Italian grinders. My nice little Jewish grandmother said, "Well, I don't know why they have to advertise the fact that the butcher's Italian!"
I kid you not.
Re: new england what now
I'm a bit saddened that the proliferation of Subway in CT has all but killed the grinder.
