I'm in Atlanta right now. And still having found a cheeseburger sub. I might have my local pizzeria try and make one.

The Vortex in Atlanta will pretty much make anything you'd like. Though your local
pizzeria will likely be a bit more tame in atmosphere.

And here I thought that hamburger/cheeseburger subs were everywhere.

Though it's not exactly the same thing as described in the first post, anyone that went to or has visited Depauw University in Greencastle, IN is probably familiar with the garlic cheeseburger (GCB) at Marvins. It's two 1/4 pound patties served side by side on a toasted bun that is liberally spinkled with garlic salt. I was there for a football recruiting visit in 1990 and I had it twice in one day.

In the 70's, I worked in Atlantic City @ the Charles Theatre located on Atlantic Ave. between Mississippi & Missouri Aves. I was a projectionist & spent many hungry hours up in the booth eating White House cheesestakes, & listening to the Phillies games on the AM radio.

I had a CB radio up there & talked to the "Bus Driver" AKA: Phil LaRocca who worked @ White House. I think that he's still there! ..My CB use to bleed throught the theatre sound system, & Mr. Tannenbaum used to call up from the box office & tell me to shut it off.

White House said that they used "Atlantic City Rolls" made with Atlantic City water. ..Actually the water was piped in from Absecon.

Out in the Ohio Valley near Wheeling, they used to make something called a Chesseburger Heel,,,they would hollow out this big roll and put all the fixins inside,,,that, and some gravy fries and you would not have to eat for days!

This is my first time on this site (looking for marketing ideas) and I saw this post. The other day at my husband's sub shop I heard a woman order a cheeseburger hoagie and my husband made it. I was like it's not on the menu, I never heard of that and he goes oh yeah we make it for her especially. I started talking to her and she said she's from Balitmore. I have never knew cheeseburger hoagies were a thing in Baltimore!

Good luck finding one in Atlanta and of course it can never just hurt to ask someone to make it. If we make it by request I'm sure someone in Atlanta will!

OK, I dont know if I should start a new post or what but I have relocated to the Atlanta area. I am currently on the hunt for a carry-out type place that sells cheeseburger subs. I live in Kennesaw but work in Decatur so anywhere between those two spots I will venture too.

A local hero shop out here on LI in Suffolk County has cheeseburger heros on their menu: http://tjsheroshop.com/patchogue_menu.html Check number 15 - it's called The Big Steer and sounds very similar to the cheeseburger subs you guys have down there. It's not my #1 choice of a hero there (see #5 - the stealth sauce is a spicy thousand island-esque sauce)

If you ever make it out to pittsburgh, head straight for Peppi's:

This what all the burgers look like (this one has sausage as well, and fried eggs:

And you can't beat the location, although there are others, this is the first I think:

Best Cheeseburger Sub in Northern Va. can be found at Mario's on Wilson Blvd in Arlington.

Mario's has been on Wilson for at least 40 years, Lefty is a master at the Cheeseburger Sub.

A large comes with four patties, provolone cheese, slaw and yellow mustard if ordered with everything.

The standard toppings are available but it's perfect ordered with everything as described above.

The Grease Trucks @ Rutgers make anything you want on a subroll

I had cheeseburger/frenchfries/mozz sticks on one, it was a greasy delight.

I ordered a cheeseburger sub at a place here in Wilkes-Barre... what came was loosemeat with velveeta and fried onions. I don't know where the bun came from. It was inedible.

Sorry to hear about your sub-par experience!
Next time you're in A.C. , cheeseburger subs are on ME !

Granted the prices are high, but I think you would agree the rolls are better than most if not all that you would find in baltimore.

I also love the fact they offer broccoli rabe as sub fixing.

Agreed. Any roll that is not H&S is OK with me.

Any idea what they're opening where Sam's Bagels used to be?

Right around the corner from me and I know and like the owner, but the Italian is pitiful. Cheesesteak passable but prices are high.

There is a place called Sketti Eddies on Cold Spring in Alonsoville. They make really good subs, although I'm not sure if they do a cheeseburger. Anyway, they have great rolls with a little bit of chew. They are clearly not the H & S rolls.

I just checked and they do sell Cheeseburger subs. oh and the place is spelled S'ghetti Eddie's

Here is the link

My first cheeseburger subs were from the chain D'Angelos (I know, I know---I was young and plead the 5th beyond that). I then tried making them at home with fresh ingredients and the rest is history.

We get alot of good fresh breads in CT. I was born and raised in Jersey and there are some rolls you get down there that just can not be replicated. My aunt used to go to this one bakery in paterson and they had the best hard rolls. I told her she was not allowed into CT unless she had a dozen rolls with her. Worked every time :D

I am from Cortland, NY, a small upstate NY college town and I live on the cheeseburger subs that King Sub makes!

These things are just about the best sandwich in the world. I get mine with mayo, lettuce, onion, tomato only. I skip everything else but they will load it up if you want it. The best part is you can order a double cheeseburger sub and it still cost less than ten bucks for a 16" sub!

The key part about this sandwich is that the owner slices the lettuce on the meat slicer so it comes out very thin and fine. This way it taste lite and flavorful and not all heavy and soggy.

It is really a well made sandwich!

I will post a picture on the next chance I get.

There was a place in Maryland back in the 80's called Blue Ridge Country Store, made a cheeseburger sub, wide 12" sub roll, 3 4.oz fresh burgers, perfectly grilled to order, toasted the roll, your choice of LTMO, fried or raw, hot pepper relish, must, ket, dill pickel slices. Lord they were great. Theu also made a whole cold cut sub that weighed over 2 lbs. when loaded. I weigh 195 lbs. when loaded!

Put it in a paper bag and make your wife drive it around the neighborhood before she delivers it to your front door. I am not sure how, but it makes them taste just like they did back in Maryland

I might have to try this.

There might be something to this. It's certainly true when it comes a muffuletta. pb

make the burger pattie the same shape as the sub roll,but a little bigger to allow for shrinkage.just use a long spatula to flip it (once of course). makes a neater sub than 2 patties.

RE: Missing my cheeseburger subs (Michael Hoffman)

I figure that if I can't make a sub, regardless of what kind, better than a sub shop I'll skip eating them.

I'm with you on this, Michael. Ditto on hot dogs, breaded pork tenderloins, loosemeat/maid-rites/tavern sandwiches, etc.. It's sure a helluvalot easier and cheaper to make your own than to travel all over trying to find something that's so basic. jmho, pb

Sure you can make your own but it wont taste the same. Thats the whole point of eating out. I'm a pseudo-chef. I have a Wolf range with griddle and a Wolf deep-fryer and can make many dishes that I get when I eat out but I still eat out because the places make it taste better, not by much but just enough to where I'd rather pay and save me the headache of doing the dishes.

I can make some really good cheesesteaks but that doesnt stop me from running down to Philly every once in a while.

Yeah, I go along with Hoffman, the picture does not appeal so much to me, and I could probably do one at home, with really good bread. Is it just the shape that makes it a "sub"? I left the east when I was ten. I would think that MY cheeseburger sub would probably have the two patties, provolone, maybe a little chopped salami, thinly sliced red onion, a little chopped black olive, with sliced pepperoncini, maybe crudely chopped red leaf lettuce, a little Dijon mustard, and a light Italian dressing on the lettuce. Maybe I'm confused, when I hear "sub" I start thinking Italian. I don't see anyone on this thread talking about west coast cheeseburger subs.

In another vein, on the west coast I loved the Naugles cheeseburger with lettuce and Ortega chiles.

I don't know about all those that you mentioned. If I was on the road and had the opportunity to try something that appealed to me that was specific to a region or small area I'd probably like to try it. However, while I'd drive up to Connecticut for an appiza from Frank Pepe's, I sure wouldn't drive to wherever breaded pork tenderloin sandwichs are big just to taste one. And I wouldn't travel for a hot buttered lobster roll, as much as I love them, because I can easily make my own. But I somehow doubt that a cheeseburger sub is something specific to a particular area, as I recall a chain I never visited that was here in central Ohio for a while that advertised them.
