THE GODFATHER

I spent 40 years in Huntington, NY running Whitman Delicatessan. I have so many fond memories of the great people there, from those I worked with to those I had the honor of feeding. And as we approach the Super Bowl this weekend, no matter who you are rooting for, we can all agree that a good sandwich is a touchdown. I spent years making party Heros at my deli in NY. The Super Bowl was always a big day and this Italian style was always our most popular.

My favorite Super Bowl sandwich has to be an Italian style we called “The Godfather” because it’s a sandwich you just can’t refuse.

The Godfather:

Ingredients:

• 12 inch hero or sub (whichever you prefer to call it)
• Ham Capicola
• Genoa Salami
• Pepperoni
• Provolone Cheese
• Lettuce
• Tomato
• Red Onion
• Hot Peppers
• Drizzled Olive Oil and Red Vinegar
• Sprinkles of Oregano

Slice the meat and cheese nice and thin.  Add a side of potato salad, macaroni salad, or cole slaw. And of course, your cold beverage of choice and you are good to go!
