Gourmet Sandwiches at 3Dog Deli

Although the limeys take credit for inventing the sandwich, we Americans have embraced the concept more enthusiastically than our counterparts across the pond. From the hoagies in Philadelphia to the po boys in New Orleans, every city in the country has a signature sandwich that’s as specific to the place as its landscape. In fact, sandwiches offer a perfect backdrop to understand the local culture of the communities that serve them:

The hoagies: The hoagie was probably invented by the Italians who worked at the Hog Island shipyard in Philadelphia. Cured pork meats, provolone, and a few veggies (lettuce, tomatoes and onions) dressed in olive oil and vinegar stuffed between thick oblong breads was a popular and handy meal for these laborers. The Sarcone’s bakery at Philadelphia’s Italian Market, they say, makes the best hoagie bread in the world. So make sure to grab a hoagie roll the next time you visit Philadelphia. But until them, come to 3Dog Deli for a fresh baked hoagie that’s served with an assortment of meat including smoked turkey, smoked bacon, pulled pork, pulled roast chicken, and topped with gooey cheddar or Swiss cheese.

The Californian: Although there are many types of Californian sandwiches, the quintessential Californian one includes a combination of avocados and alfalfa sprouts served on multigrain bread. The other variations include those where sprouts are substituted with lettuce and tomato- a classic BLT, but with avocados. At 3Dog Deli we serve it the traditional way- with smoked turkey and bacon, avocados, alfalfa sprouts, French dressing and garlic mayo on multigrain bread.

We’re located on the US Highway 1 at 15th Street, in front of the K-Mart Plaza. Dine in, or order a take out, or call us for fast delivery of the best gourmet sandwiches, salads, wraps, hot dogs, soups and desserts.
