What's the Most Iconic Sandwich in New Jersey?

Some might say The Pork Roll and Cheese is the most celebrated sandwich in New Jersey.

They would be wrong.

And, no, it's not Taylor Ham and Cheese either!

Delish.com has named the most iconic sandwich in New Jersey and it's The Italian Hoagie! (Or, yes, The Italian Sub....)

Delish says, "Italian sandwich shops are almost as much as a staple as classic red-sauce joints in New Jersey."

Can't argue with that!

Perhaps White House Subs in Atlantic City is the most famous place to grab an Italian Sub. (How about The Most Iconic Place to Get The Most Iconic Sandwich?) The White House has been cranking them out since the 1940s! (And, there always seems to be a line out the door.)

What do you like on your Italian Sub or Hoagie? Is it wrong to put mayonnaise on it?
