Mine is the Hot Sicilian from Nick Cantone's in Harrisburg. PA and I ate so many of those, he gave me the recipe before they took him away for being a bookie. They actually didn't take him away for being a bookie; they took him away for getting caught being a bookie, there is a difference. Shame too, damned good sammich and a fine bookie, except for getting caught. I wish I could claim it but I cannot but I do make it often and especially during the football season.
Finding the bun is tricky and after much experimentation, I discovered those large round hoagie buns Walmart makes were the closest one to Nick's. They actually have some really good breads.
Start by hollowing out both sides of the bun and fill that with serrano ham, mortadella, sweet and hot capicola, pepperoni and top that with crisp bacon and a slice of provolone and toast both sides in the oven and it helps to get the meat and cheese to come to room temp before assemblage of the sammich. When it is toasted, put a healthy smear of Dijon mustard on the bun and accompany with either a Boar's Head or McClure's dill pickle spear, pepperoncini and chips of choice. Ice cold beer in a schooner is the perfect wash down.
Ok, so what's yours and don't spare the details on how to make it as that's the purpose of this thread, to add to our repertoire of delicious and not so healthy sandwiches.
