Did you know that there is an entire day dedicated to hoagies?? Every year on May 5th, Hoagie lovers unite to celebrate a delicious day. Luckily for you, you have the best hoagies at the Lake of the Ozarks located right down the road at Casablanca! Our hoagies aren’t just your average sandwich, though. We bake ours especially in our brick oven for impeccable flavor, and each sandwich comes with our legendary cheese blend, Roma tomatoes, caramelized onions, Aioli sauce, and a bag of chips. You’re not leaving here hungry! Keep reading to learn more about our hoagie sandwiches, as well as some fun facts about hoagies to celebrate such a momentous day!
Fun Facts About Hoagies
- The original “hoagie” is what is now referred to as an “Italian Hoagie.” It includes a variety of traditional Italian lunch meats, including dry salami, mortadella, capicola, and provolone served with lettuce, tomato, and onions with a light vinegar and oil dressing.
- Former Philadelphia mayor (also once Pennsylvania governor) Ed Rendell declared the hoagie the “Official Sandwich of Philadelphia”.
- Most hoagie shops offer single-meat hoagies (for example, ham or salami hoagies) as well as premium hoagies with upscale ingredients: prosciutto, imported Italian lunchmeats (cotechino, mortadella, soppressata, etc.). A popular variant is the grinder or cosmo, which is essentially a hoagie that has been toasted under a broiler.
- Many takeout shops in Chicago sell a “hoagy”, usually containing steak and other ingredients, with the option of being “heated.” They also sell cheesesteak, referred to most often as “Philly Steak.”
- In many areas, the default cheese on a hoagie is Provolone, while in others it is white American cheese. Cheese-only hoagies (Provolone, American, or Mixed) replace the meat with extra slices of cheese.
