Cheesesteaks? Yes. Hoagies? No--everyone knows they're called subs.
Yes, I was born north of Philly. I have family in and around Philly. I have family in South Jersey. It is still a sub. Ask Jerry of 'Jerry's Giant Subs,' formerly on Pearl Street in Bridgeton, NJ. Many, many, many fond memories and childhood milestones were made watching him pile meat and vegetables, and dumping pints of oil, vinegar, salt and pepper on his masterpieces. They were subs, goddamnit. Ballistic-missile-to-your-gut subs.

Rest in peace, Jerry, in whatever deli in the sky you're running now.
