FH sister is from VT and when she was visiting once we got HEROS from the pizzeria and she asked me how my 'grinder' was. I was like 'What are you talking about??'

I went to SUNY Geneseo, and we had this debate all the time:

Hero is a LI term
Grinder is a New England term
Sub is Central/Western New York term
Wedge, I have friends from Westchester use that term

There's an invisible line in this country and once you cross it, 'heroes' become 'subs' and 'hoagies' and 'soda' becomes 'pop'.

And lollipops become 'suckers'!

Must be why my vote was for Sub... 22 years in the Hudson Valley vs 7 years on LI... Sub is in the brain!

Though...DH is born and raised LIer and I think he's a sub guy too...
