HOAGIE DAY, NTL. (1992)
About National Hoagie Day
The Hoagie Sandwich (also known as a submarine sandwich) is an American original and it first appeared in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. In 1992 then Mayor Ed Rendell declared the "official sandwich of Philadelphia”. This initiated the official Wawa Hoagie Day at City Hall. Wawa is a regional convenience store chain.
The hoagie is a built-to-order sandwich on a long Italian roll, typically filled with deli meat and cheese, garnished with fresh lettuce, tomatoes and onions and finished with a drizzle of oregano-vinegar dressing. Hoagies can also be filled with tuna, chicken cutlets and roasted vegetables, among other fillings.
National Hoagie Sandwich Day is typically celebrated with hoagie shops providing free hoagie sandwiches to local law enforcement, firemen and other civil servants. T The actual day of this promotion can vary. Wawa often holds it in June or July near the 4th of July, rather than on National Hoagie Day. Some stores will give hoagies to the first 50 or 100 customers on this day. The best way to celebrate? Eat a hoagie!
