Hey Seattle, this is a hoagie roll

I (Colby) love sandwiches. I love to make them and I love to eat them. Especially hoagies and meatball subs and cheesesteaks and Cuban pork sandwiches. The problem is, in Seattle you can't find a good quality cheesesteak/hoagie roll to save your life. They just don't get it there. The closest thing you can find is a pseudo french roll the Vietnamese restaurants use for their bahn mi sandwiches. Its OK. Its the best you can do in Seattle. On the East Coast, even the lame Safeway near my apartment offers a decent sandwich roll. Since I'm in DC, just a ways down from Philadelphia, I have seriously contemplated taking the train up to Philly for a day and hitting Geno's Steaks, the eastern Mecca of all things cheesy and steaky. Pretty expensive cheesesteak though: $152 round-trip on Amtrak, $8.00 for the Philadelphia Metro, $7.95 for the cheesesteak sandwich. Which makes it a $167.95 sandwich. I think I'll see what DC has to offer first. More to come...
