My Hero

Almost every hamlet on Long Island, every village, has its favorite and unique place for heroes (not subs, or hoagies or grinders). A hero is made of bread one can only get in the Metro NY area. A hero is an over stuffed sandwich in a class all its own. Leggios is the place here in Bay Shore. My Hero is the place in Bellmore. Anyone who grew up there goes back once in a while and gets this delicious piece of their past. We had some the other night compliments of Robert Sanfilippo. The oos and ahs around the table of Mepham Track Alum at my home showed that this place has not lost its skill in satisfying taste. Heroes are yet another thing that Long Islanders share as a unique part of who we are. They are as much a part of our lives as Diners which is a whole other post.
