What is "hero"?

A hero sandwich, also known as a hoagie or sub, is a type of sandwich that is made on a long, cylindrical roll, typically made from Italian or French bread. The roll is sliced lengthwise and filled with a variety of meats, cheeses, vegetables, and condiments, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, mayonnaise, mustard, and oil and vinegar dressing. The difference between a hero and other similar sandwiches can be regional or based on personal preference. Common meats used for a hero include ham, turkey, roast beef, salami, and chicken, while cheeses can range from provolone to American. The sandwich is often served cold, but can also be heated in an oven or on a griddle to melt the cheese and warm the meat. Hero sandwiches are a popular food item in many regions of the United States, particularly in the Northeast and New York City, and are available at delis, sandwich shops, and fast food restaurants.
