Tried the local franchise once. I didn’t like it and Mrs. KP and I both prefer the local sub shops instead. Steak and mushroom with fresh veggies on a good crusty spuckie roll beats these “cookie cutter” sandwiches any day.

“Spuckie”

That pins you down to one of about four or five towns around Boston.

Short for Spucadella, IIRC. The guy I first heard use it, thirty five years ago, we used to go bowling lunch time at Sammy White’s.

It was just when I recently read Ted William’s biography that I found out Sammy White had played for the Red Sox.
