[That's exactly what I wanted as a French dip when I was a kid. I want hot roast beef, a little bit of cheese, a really good roll, and some au jus]

Testo’s, Bridgeport, CT
Tumblr media
My parents brought me sandwiches from Testo’s in Bridgeport, CT this weekend and I realized I’d never posted about the restaurant or their food here. 
Testo’s “was” a legendary Connecticut restaurant for folks “in the know” that closed at the end of 2022, selling the land to be developed as a high rise, supposedly. A classic blue collar hangout, where carpenters, electricians, plumbers and painters all went to unwind, it was the “Cheers” of local contractors. My dad included. At the bar on Saturdays you could get massive $5 roast beef and roast pork sandwiches till they ran out, sometimes as early as 1pm...

On the most pillowy Portuguese rolls you could imagine, no less!
Their tripe was some of the best we’ve had anywhere in the world...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bowls of housemade hot peppers and pickled onions littered the bar...
Tumblr media
Drinks were stiff and cheap, the pours were generous.
Testo’s was a secret spot for those in the know and they will be sorely missed...
Tumblr media
However, it’s not all doom and gloom as Testo’s always maintained a second, less frequented location, a “pizzeria”, which is still open. This is where my folks went on Saturday as they now sell these famous sandwiches and tripe soup. And I’m happy to report the food is just as good as at the “original”, even is it was takeout for us. Now looking forward to sitting down and eating there soon!

After folding and returning the napkins to the organizer, the four of us went up two floors to Café@Two70 for lunch. There were not many people in the queue, so we were served in no time. You get to choose from a variety of raw or lightly cooked vegetables, chicken, pastas, and noodles in addition to savoury sandwiches, buns and pizza.

National Hoagie Day 
Load up a soft or crispy bread roll with your favorite toppings, like meat, lettuce, tomato, and mustard, and dig in. Just don’t forget the napkins!
Everyone loves food! Which might help to explain why it’s possible to find so many different food-themed days to celebrate throughout the year for anyone who wants to. So it’s not much of a surprise that this very special sandwich would get its own day too!
Whether it is known as a hoagie, a sub, a wedge, a hero, Italian sandwich or a grinder, today is the perfect day to celebrate everything you love about this overstuffed, tasty and savory treat.
History of National Hoagie Day
The humble hoagie first appeared on the plates of Americans around or soon after 1953, when the sandwich was first made in the Philadelphia shipyards from WWI.
At the time, Italians working in the shipyards would make a sandwich by putting meats, cheese and lettuce in a soft baguette-shaped roll and bring it to work with them. The story goes that this easy-to-make but delicious creation would soon be labeled with the nickname of ‘the Hog Island’. Then, maybe because it doesn’t quite roll off the tongue easily, it would soon be shortened to “hoggie” and then eventually would become known affectionately as the ‘hoagie’.
There’s also a second theory of the hoagie’s birth, where the sandwich is said to have been created by street food vendors who were known as ‘hokey-pokey men’ in the early 20th century. Supposedly, these food sellers would slice a long loaf in half and stuff it with antipasto salad before selling it as a filling snack. And perhaps they were also dancing the “hokey-pokey” at the same time?!
Well-known in Philadelphia, the hoagie sandwich is so enjoyed in the city that, in 1992, the mayor Ed Rendell declared that the hoagie should be considered the official sandwich of the city.
National Hoagie Day Timeline
1762 Sandwiches are invented
The Earl of Sandwich, John Montagu, asks for roast beef to be served between two slices of bread so he won’t have to get up from his work (or from gambling, depending on how the story goes).
1901 Submarine sandwich is invented
A small Italian grocer in New Jersey sells sandwiches on long bread that he will eventually name “submarine” sandwiches because of the shape.
1950s Hoagie sandwiches make their debut
In Philadelphia, after WWII, Italian immigrants who work on Hog Island bring long roll sandwiches with them. “Hog Island sandwiches” may have been shortened to “hoggies” and then to “hoagies”.
1955 Hoagies are listed on menus
With its growing popularity, restaurants in Philly begin to list hoagie sandwiches on their menus and it spread from there.
1992 Hoagie is made official in Philadelphia
Mayor Ed Rendell declares the Hoagie as the official sandwich of the city of Philadelphia.
How to Celebrate National Hoagie Day
Observing National Hoagie Day can be enjoyable for almost anyone when trying out some of these tips:
Enjoy a Hoagie at a Restaurant or Deli
Hoagies make the perfect lunch! In fact, that was their original purpose as they were used as an easily packable meal by the shipyard workers. So even if there’s not a lot of time for going all out in celebration, it’s easy to give a nod to National Hoagie Day by enjoying a grab-and-go sandwich lunch at a local deli.
Learn About Hoagies
Try out some of these fun facts to impress coworkers or friends for National Hoagie Day:
The perfect hoagie roll was invented when Bucelli’s Bakery joined forces with DePalma to create a delicious 8-inch long roll, which eventually became the standard for hoagies.
Americans eat more than 300 million sandwiches each year, many of which would classify as hoagies!
Premium hoagies can be made with upscale ingredients, such as imported Italian lunch meats, prosciutto, gourmet cheeses and more.
One of the biggest mysteries that seems to surround hoagies is the questions about what makes them different from other sandwiches like subs, heroes and grinders. But honestly, there isn’t much of a difference and they are basically the same sandwich just going by a different name.
Make a Homemade Hoagie Sandwich
It seems only right and good to celebrate hoagie day by fixing up a delightful and delicious homemade hoagie for yourself and those you love!
Start by slicing a soft or crispy long bread roll, throw in some favorite cold cut slices and don’t forget to add the cheese. For those who want to be fully authentic, don’t put mayo on there but, instead, stick with good quality olive oil and some Italian herbs. Finish off with some tomato and lettuce for a bit of extra crunch.
And for those who really want to get serious about National Hoagie Day, why not bake your own bread to craft your artisanal sandwich with? Fresh bread is certainly best.
Visit the Birthplace of Hoagies
Those who are super in love with hoagies might just find that National Hoagie Day is best spent in the city of Philadelphia, the place where hoagie sandwiches were first created. Some of the best and most famous Philly hoagie shops include:
Antonio’s Deli. Located in south Philly, Antonio’s serves its sandwiches on freshly baked bread from Sarcone’s, a fifth generation Italian bakery. They even serve a non-traditional vegetarian option.
Cosmi’s Deli. Operating since 1932, Cosmi’s offers more than a dozen different hoagie options on their menu, as well as cheesesteaks and roast pork sandwiches.
Liberty Kitchen PHL. With a small but delicious hoagie menu, Liberty in Fishtown offers sandwiches with hand-stretched Caputo mozzarella and other sought after gourmet ingredients.
Datillo’s Delicatessen. For more than 40 years this deli has been offering up tasty hoagies, including their house specialty that includes hot capicola, pepperoni, salami, provolone cheese, artichoke hearts and homemade roasted red peppers.
Share National Hoagie Day
Don’t keep the joy of the hoagie all to yourself. Snap a pic and share that tasty creation on social media, so other observers can join in on the fun. And perhaps it might be fun to invite some friends over for a hoagie making party. Or create a hoagie sandwich making line in the breakroom at work.
Simply line up the ingredients, including artisan bread rolls, gourmet cheese options, lunch meats and veggies, and let people pile them on as high as they like. Add some condiments such as mayo, herbs and spices, or olive oil and everyone can enjoy what they love!
Have a great hoagie day!

Hopefully, if it were Granny Sweets we were talking about here, it was probably your old-school diner-type hot roast beef or turkey such, with mashed potatoes and plenty of gravy covering all. With pie for the dessert and some decent tea.
