National Hoagie Day 
Load up a soft or crispy bread roll with your favorite toppings, like meat, lettuce, tomato, and mustard, and dig in. Just don’t forget the napkins!
Everyone loves food! Which might help to explain why it’s possible to find so many different food-themed days to celebrate throughout the year for anyone who wants to. So it’s not much of a surprise that this very special sandwich would get its own day too!
Whether it is known as a hoagie, a sub, a wedge, a hero, Italian sandwich or a grinder, today is the perfect day to celebrate everything you love about this overstuffed, tasty and savory treat.
History of National Hoagie Day
The humble hoagie first appeared on the plates of Americans around or soon after 1953, when the sandwich was first made in the Philadelphia shipyards from WWI.
At the time, Italians working in the shipyards would make a sandwich by putting meats, cheese and lettuce in a soft baguette-shaped roll and bring it to work with them. The story goes that this easy-to-make but delicious creation would soon be labeled with the nickname of ‘the Hog Island’. Then, maybe because it doesn’t quite roll off the tongue easily, it would soon be shortened to “hoggie” and then eventually would become known affectionately as the ‘hoagie’.
There’s also a second theory of the hoagie’s birth, where the sandwich is said to have been created by street food vendors who were known as ‘hokey-pokey men’ in the early 20th century. Supposedly, these food sellers would slice a long loaf in half and stuff it with antipasto salad before selling it as a filling snack. And perhaps they were also dancing the “hokey-pokey” at the same time?!
Well-known in Philadelphia, the hoagie sandwich is so enjoyed in the city that, in 1992, the mayor Ed Rendell declared that the hoagie should be considered the official sandwich of the city.
National Hoagie Day Timeline
1762 Sandwiches are invented
The Earl of Sandwich, John Montagu, asks for roast beef to be served between two slices of bread so he won’t have to get up from his work (or from gambling, depending on how the story goes).
1901 Submarine sandwich is invented
A small Italian grocer in New Jersey sells sandwiches on long bread that he will eventually name “submarine” sandwiches because of the shape.
1950s Hoagie sandwiches make their debut
In Philadelphia, after WWII, Italian immigrants who work on Hog Island bring long roll sandwiches with them. “Hog Island sandwiches” may have been shortened to “hoggies” and then to “hoagies”.
1955 Hoagies are listed on menus
With its growing popularity, restaurants in Philly begin to list hoagie sandwiches on their menus and it spread from there.
1992 Hoagie is made official in Philadelphia
Mayor Ed Rendell declares the Hoagie as the official sandwich of the city of Philadelphia.
How to Celebrate National Hoagie Day
Observing National Hoagie Day can be enjoyable for almost anyone when trying out some of these tips:
Enjoy a Hoagie at a Restaurant or Deli
Hoagies make the perfect lunch! In fact, that was their original purpose as they were used as an easily packable meal by the shipyard workers. So even if there’s not a lot of time for going all out in celebration, it’s easy to give a nod to National Hoagie Day by enjoying a grab-and-go sandwich lunch at a local deli.
Learn About Hoagies
Try out some of these fun facts to impress coworkers or friends for National Hoagie Day:
The perfect hoagie roll was invented when Bucelli’s Bakery joined forces with DePalma to create a delicious 8-inch long roll, which eventually became the standard for hoagies.
Americans eat more than 300 million sandwiches each year, many of which would classify as hoagies!
Premium hoagies can be made with upscale ingredients, such as imported Italian lunch meats, prosciutto, gourmet cheeses and more.
One of the biggest mysteries that seems to surround hoagies is the questions about what makes them different from other sandwiches like subs, heroes and grinders. But honestly, there isn’t much of a difference and they are basically the same sandwich just going by a different name.
Make a Homemade Hoagie Sandwich
It seems only right and good to celebrate hoagie day by fixing up a delightful and delicious homemade hoagie for yourself and those you love!
Start by slicing a soft or crispy long bread roll, throw in some favorite cold cut slices and don’t forget to add the cheese. For those who want to be fully authentic, don’t put mayo on there but, instead, stick with good quality olive oil and some Italian herbs. Finish off with some tomato and lettuce for a bit of extra crunch.
And for those who really want to get serious about National Hoagie Day, why not bake your own bread to craft your artisanal sandwich with? Fresh bread is certainly best.
Visit the Birthplace of Hoagies
Those who are super in love with hoagies might just find that National Hoagie Day is best spent in the city of Philadelphia, the place where hoagie sandwiches were first created. Some of the best and most famous Philly hoagie shops include:
Antonio’s Deli. Located in south Philly, Antonio’s serves its sandwiches on freshly baked bread from Sarcone’s, a fifth generation Italian bakery. They even serve a non-traditional vegetarian option.
Cosmi’s Deli. Operating since 1932, Cosmi’s offers more than a dozen different hoagie options on their menu, as well as cheesesteaks and roast pork sandwiches.
Liberty Kitchen PHL. With a small but delicious hoagie menu, Liberty in Fishtown offers sandwiches with hand-stretched Caputo mozzarella and other sought after gourmet ingredients.
Datillo’s Delicatessen. For more than 40 years this deli has been offering up tasty hoagies, including their house specialty that includes hot capicola, pepperoni, salami, provolone cheese, artichoke hearts and homemade roasted red peppers.
Share National Hoagie Day
Don’t keep the joy of the hoagie all to yourself. Snap a pic and share that tasty creation on social media, so other observers can join in on the fun. And perhaps it might be fun to invite some friends over for a hoagie making party. Or create a hoagie sandwich making line in the breakroom at work.
Simply line up the ingredients, including artisan bread rolls, gourmet cheese options, lunch meats and veggies, and let people pile them on as high as they like. Add some condiments such as mayo, herbs and spices, or olive oil and everyone can enjoy what they love!
Have a great hoagie day!

George Harrison, 1992; photo by Nigel Parry.
“Maui guitarist Harry Troupe, a former Bounty Music manager, said he was stunned to find [George] Harrison in the shop one day. ‘He was so humble to me,’ he said. ‘It really floored me to see a guy of that stature treat me the way he did. You could just feel the warmth from him.’” - Honolulu Advertiser, December 1, 2001
“Former repairman Ron Chambliss remembers George Harrison coming in [to McCabe’s Guitar Shop, Santa Monica] not long before his death. (‘A lot of stars come in. We have a hands-off policy.’) Harrison chatted Chambliss up, shared his deep passion for songwriter Hoagy Carmichael, hipped Ron to a reissue of Carmichael’s recordings and then left. (For Beatles completists: He also bought a metal-body National ukulele with a brown wrinkle finish.) A little stunned, Chambliss went back to work. A half-hour passed and someone told him he had a phone call. He picked up the phone: ‘Hello Ron, this is George, I was in there a little while ago.’ Chambliss affirmed that he remembered who he was. Harrison had simply called to give Chambliss the catalog number of the Carmichael CD so he could order it. ‘He took the time to call me back. It gave me a boost in humanity.’” - LA Weekly, September 24, 2008 (x)

In a move that would make Machiavelli himself raise a skeptical eyebrow, Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper has redefined the art of "having your cake and eating it too." Just days after signing a record-breaking 10-year, $420 million contract extension – a deal so lucrative it could single-handedly fund a small nation's space program – Harper shocked the baseball world by requesting a trade. "We were ecstatic to finally lock down Bryce for the foreseeable future," stammered a visibly bewildered Dave Dombrowski, Phillies President of Baseball Operations. "He's our franchise player, the face of the team. We even threw in a lifetime supply of Tastykakes, for Pete's sake!" Dombrowski then excused himself to go sob uncontrollably into a pile of Liberty Bell replicas. Speculation regarding Harper's sudden trade request is running rampant. Some sources claim the slugger simply yearns for a more competitive environment, one where the primary concern isn't whether the team mascot, the Phillie Phanatic, will accidentally set himself on fire during pre-game festivities. Others whisper of a secret clause in the contract stipulating mandatory participation in cheese whiz-dunking contests, a Philadelphia tradition Harper finds particularly distasteful. The most persistent rumor, however, revolves around Harper's undying love for cheesesteaks. Apparently, the contract's initial offer of a "generous" monthly allotment of cheesesteaks fell short of Harper's "enthusiastic consumption" needs. "You gotta understand, I come from Vegas, baby," a source close to Harper (allegedly a particularly chatty cheesesteak vendor) explained. "Those wimpy Philly portions just don't cut it for a guy like Bryce." This news has unsurprisingly sent shockwaves through the City of Brotherly Love. Fans, already accustomed to a steady diet of disappointment, are drowning their sorrows in hoagies the size of their heartbreak. Local cheesesteak vendors are reporting a surge in sales, with some even offering "Harper Farewell Specials" featuring extra meat and a commemorative "Traded for Cheesesteaks" sticker. Meanwhile, rival teams are circling Harper like vultures over a discarded hot dog at Citizens Bank Park. The Los Angeles Dodgers, ever the picture of financial responsibility, are rumored to be offering a lifetime supply of In-N-Out burgers and a beachfront mansion (slightly used, ocean views may be obstructed by seagulls). The New York Yankees, ever classy, have proposed a lifetime supply of stale bagels and the dubious honor of being relentlessly booed by their own fanbase. The situation remains fluid, with the Phillies desperately scrambling to find a trade partner willing to take on Harper's astronomical contract, not to mention his cheesesteak-fueled metabolism. One thing's for sure: Bryce Harper's legacy is forever cemented. Not as a baseball legend, mind you, but as the man who dared to redefine loyalty for a cheesesteak. Now, if you'll excuse us, we have a sudden craving for Tastykakes and existential dread. #BryceHarper #mlb #PhiladelphiaPhillies #Satire #trade

National Hoagie Day 
Load up a soft or crispy bread roll with your favorite toppings, like meat, lettuce, tomato, and mustard, and dig in. Just don’t forget the napkins!
Everyone loves food! Which might help to explain why it’s possible to find so many different food-themed days to celebrate throughout the year for anyone who wants to. So it’s not much of a surprise that this very special sandwich would get its own day too!
Whether it is known as a hoagie, a sub, a wedge, a hero, Italian sandwich or a grinder, today is the perfect day to celebrate everything you love about this overstuffed, tasty and savory treat.
History of National Hoagie Day
The humble hoagie first appeared on the plates of Americans around or soon after 1953, when the sandwich was first made in the Philadelphia shipyards from WWI.
At the time, Italians working in the shipyards would make a sandwich by putting meats, cheese and lettuce in a soft baguette-shaped roll and bring it to work with them. The story goes that this easy-to-make but delicious creation would soon be labeled with the nickname of ‘the Hog Island’. Then, maybe because it doesn’t quite roll off the tongue easily, it would soon be shortened to “hoggie” and then eventually would become known affectionately as the ‘hoagie’.
There’s also a second theory of the hoagie’s birth, where the sandwich is said to have been created by street food vendors who were known as ‘hokey-pokey men’ in the early 20th century. Supposedly, these food sellers would slice a long loaf in half and stuff it with antipasto salad before selling it as a filling snack. And perhaps they were also dancing the “hokey-pokey” at the same time?!
Well-known in Philadelphia, the hoagie sandwich is so enjoyed in the city that, in 1992, the mayor Ed Rendell declared that the hoagie should be considered the official sandwich of the city.
National Hoagie Day Timeline
1762 Sandwiches are invented
The Earl of Sandwich, John Montagu, asks for roast beef to be served between two slices of bread so he won’t have to get up from his work (or from gambling, depending on how the story goes).
1901 Submarine sandwich is invented
A small Italian grocer in New Jersey sells sandwiches on long bread that he will eventually name “submarine” sandwiches because of the shape.
1950s Hoagie sandwiches make their debut
In Philadelphia, after WWII, Italian immigrants who work on Hog Island bring long roll sandwiches with them. “Hog Island sandwiches” may have been shortened to “hoggies” and then to “hoagies”.
1955 Hoagies are listed on menus
With its growing popularity, restaurants in Philly begin to list hoagie sandwiches on their menus and it spread from there.
1992 Hoagie is made official in Philadelphia
Mayor Ed Rendell declares the Hoagie as the official sandwich of the city of Philadelphia.
How to Celebrate National Hoagie Day
Observing National Hoagie Day can be enjoyable for almost anyone when trying out some of these tips:
Enjoy a Hoagie at a Restaurant or Deli
Hoagies make the perfect lunch! In fact, that was their original purpose as they were used as an easily packable meal by the shipyard workers. So even if there’s not a lot of time for going all out in celebration, it’s easy to give a nod to National Hoagie Day by enjoying a grab-and-go sandwich lunch at a local deli.
Learn About Hoagies
Try out some of these fun facts to impress coworkers or friends for National Hoagie Day:
The perfect hoagie roll was invented when Bucelli’s Bakery joined forces with DePalma to create a delicious 8-inch long roll, which eventually became the standard for hoagies.
Americans eat more than 300 million sandwiches each year, many of which would classify as hoagies!
Premium hoagies can be made with upscale ingredients, such as imported Italian lunch meats, prosciutto, gourmet cheeses and more.
One of the biggest mysteries that seems to surround hoagies is the questions about what makes them different from other sandwiches like subs, heroes and grinders. But honestly, there isn’t much of a difference and they are basically the same sandwich just going by a different name.
Make a Homemade Hoagie Sandwich
It seems only right and good to celebrate hoagie day by fixing up a delightful and delicious homemade hoagie for yourself and those you love!
Start by slicing a soft or crispy long bread roll, throw in some favorite cold cut slices and don’t forget to add the cheese. For those who want to be fully authentic, don’t put mayo on there but, instead, stick with good quality olive oil and some Italian herbs. Finish off with some tomato and lettuce for a bit of extra crunch.
And for those who really want to get serious about National Hoagie Day, why not bake your own bread to craft your artisanal sandwich with? Fresh bread is certainly best.
Visit the Birthplace of Hoagies
Those who are super in love with hoagies might just find that National Hoagie Day is best spent in the city of Philadelphia, the place where hoagie sandwiches were first created. Some of the best and most famous Philly hoagie shops include:
Antonio’s Deli. Located in south Philly, Antonio’s serves its sandwiches on freshly baked bread from Sarcone’s, a fifth generation Italian bakery. They even serve a non-traditional vegetarian option.
Cosmi’s Deli. Operating since 1932, Cosmi’s offers more than a dozen different hoagie options on their menu, as well as cheesesteaks and roast pork sandwiches.
Liberty Kitchen PHL. With a small but delicious hoagie menu, Liberty in Fishtown offers sandwiches with hand-stretched Caputo mozzarella and other sought after gourmet ingredients.
Datillo’s Delicatessen. For more than 40 years this deli has been offering up tasty hoagies, including their house specialty that includes hot capicola, pepperoni, salami, provolone cheese, artichoke hearts and homemade roasted red peppers.
Share National Hoagie Day
Don’t keep the joy of the hoagie all to yourself. Snap a pic and share that tasty creation on social media, so other observers can join in on the fun. And perhaps it might be fun to invite some friends over for a hoagie making party. Or create a hoagie sandwich making line in the breakroom at work.
Simply line up the ingredients, including artisan bread rolls, gourmet cheese options, lunch meats and veggies, and let people pile them on as high as they like. Add some condiments such as mayo, herbs and spices, or olive oil and everyone can enjoy what they love!
Have a great hoagie day!

National Eat A Hoagie Day
The original #hoagie is what is now referred to as an #ItalianHoagie which includes a variety of traditional Italian lunch meats, including dry salami, mortadella, capicolla, and provolone served with lettuce, tomato and onions with a light vinegar and oil dressing.
The most widely believed origin story for this sandwich is that it originated in Philadelphia. According to a report in a 1953 article in The Philadelphia Bulletin, the hoagie was started by Italians working at WWI-era shipyards in Philadelphia. This area was known as Hog Island and it’s where emergency shipping was produced for America’s war effort. According to this story, workers would put various meats, cheeses, and vegetables between two slices of bread. These sandwiches became known as hoagies.

The Best Parts Were the Worst Parts of Jamboree in the Hills – Chapter 2
Tumblr media
(Publisher’s Note: This is the second of two chapters in this series about the history of the legendary Jamboree in the Hills country music festival in Belmont, Ohio. The multi-day event was always scheduled for the third week of July – this week – at two locations in Belmont County, and the four concerts drew more than 30,000 fans to the rolling hills of East Ohio.) Memory Lane this time of year is a pretty popular path for country music fans in this area of Appalachia. Cooler dancing, wagon dragging, finding folks in Blue B or Green H; well, there’s only one place on Earth where all three of those things could have happened within a five-minute timespan.   Ladies and gentlemen, the Super Bowl of Country Music … Jamboree in the Hills! Fans planned their summers around it. Locals leased their land for it. Country music stars loved it. People made money on it. An assembled staff produced it, mounted deputies protected it, rain or shine drenched it, and the annual four-day festival provided Belmont County with its biggest economic boost every single year since Schiltz Beer was popular in America. Schiltz Beer? Well, it was the late 1970s when this shindig began, after all. It was a spectacle never seen before when Jamboree in the Hills began in 1977 at Brush Run Park. (Photo by Bill Burke) There were the early morning “Redneck Runs,” the OVMC medical tents, the squirt bottles, those steak hoagies, Saturday night fireworks, the sunburns, raincoats, reunions, Red Solo cups, campground breakfasts, bikini tops and jean shorts, the banks of Porta Johns, the National Anthem, and Neil McCoy climbing speaker towers on sunny Sunday afternoons.   And yes, there was much more that defined it, and that’s why, at this time of year – especially during this third week of July – the “Jambo Blues” are very real. ��I think about Jamboree in the Hills a lot, especially when the weather gets warmer, and when July comes around, I miss it because that’s when our own team started to come together, and that was our own reunion. That was special to us,” recalled Kelly Tucker, the general manager of the four-day festival at the end. “That weekend in July will always be my favorite weekend of the year. “When this time of year comes around, I can’t help but think about all of those people, the stars and the music, and the fans. There were issues, trust me, but the majority appreciated what we did for them. There was a lot of happiness and a lot of hugs,” she explained. “Putting on that show, with everything involved, was something we were all very proud of. I may have been the general manager, but that week happened thanks to a lot of people who were the best at what they do.” Jamboree in the Hills was an instant success here in the Upper Ohio Valley and throughout the country. (Photo by Bill Burke) The crowds always were the biggest you’d ever seen with your own two eyes, and some Jamboree weekends were bigger than others because headliners like Garth Brooks started achieving new-level, mega-star status. That’s why, in fact, the only year Brooks performed in Belmont was in 1990. It was because the music industry changed over the years, and instead of the singer/songwriters profiting from album sales, the fees for mainstream performers began skyrocketing at the turn of the century thanks to something called the Internet and digital music. “I believe Jamboree in the Hills changed as country music changed, and there have been a lot of changes through the years,” explained Chris Dutton, co-founder of the Blame My Roots County Music Festival who worked for his family's Valley View Campground during the JITH era. “Country music goes through a style change every 10 years or so, and there’s one taking place right now. With those changes come different artists with new shows, so the people with the Jamboree had to adjust for better and worse. The Tucker family (Ryan, the late Kathy Tucker, Kelly, and sisters Shannon and Jan) has been involved in the area's entertainment industry for more than three decades. “We saw country music become much more popular in the early 2000s, and we saw a jump in attendance at the campgrounds. Our camper population doubled at one point in the matter of a couple of years in the early 2000s, and it was because of what was taking place in the country music industry,” he explained. “Everything got younger, and the party got bigger, believe it or not.” The Fine Day Campround also was located just west of Jambo’s Gate A and that yard drew a jam-packed crowd of Jamboree fans, too. That’s why Dutton has clear memories of literal parades of people walking (or at least trying to) along National Road to and from the concerts.  “There was security and crowd control, trust me. It became more important than ever during the early 2000s,” Dutton said. “There were more than 7,000 campers on our family’s farm during those bigger years. “Safety was huge with us, and I know it was really important with the people who ran the Jamboree,” he said. “It was then when there were a lot more up-and-comers on the schedule and then there would be a superstar at the end of the show, and that was because of the performance fees. It’s still pretty crazy in the country music industry and the competition is impossible for an independent festival. That’s why we retired Blame My Roots.” The former Jamboree in the Hills location was staged at this location near Morristown. Black Bleeds Red They tried “Jambo County”. It was to be a shorter event, no coolers of beer would be permitted inside the venue, and the lineup would be good but not great. It all meant that, finally, the economics connected to coolers of beer instead of lines to buy beer caught up with the free-for-all blessing that was Jamboree in the Hills, and fans were enraged and wanted blood. Tucker, a young lady born into the Jamboree business thanks to her late mother, Kathy, had to hide from death threats. “That was a horrible experience,” she said. “I’m just glad (Live Nation) scrapped that plan pretty quickly.” After two more years, though, the next plan that came from Live Nation brass was a “gone-for-good” plan pronounced “Hiatus.”  Tucker had no warning. The phone rang, and that was that. Live Nation announced to Jamboree fans that the event would be placed on "Hiatus" in November 2018. “We lost Jamboree in the Hills because the business model no longer worked,” she recounted. “That’s the real answer. The artist fees climbed too high and the only money we were really making was from the ticket sales, and it wasn’t enough to pay for what we had to pay for.  “And yeah, we were still letting the fans bring their own coolers in, and that didn’t help but it was part of what the festival was all about. When changes were announced (for Jambo Country), the fan reaction was pretty harsh. But it really came down to the fact the entertainment cost too much for Jamboree in the Hills to continue the way it was. So, the decision was made.” The Duttons presented Blame My Roots for four years, and now the Old Washington Music Festival is scheduled for this Thursday through Sunday afternoon. The event will be held at the Guernsey County Fairgrounds, artists Travis Tritt, The Marshall Tucker Band, Colin Raye, and Craig Morgan will lead a lineup of country music performers, and tickets can be purchased by calling 615-946-4697. Coolers are welcome inside the show, on-site camping is available, and the weekend is all about America and country music. Sound familiar? But can anything similar to IT be the same as IT? The Blame My Roots Country Music Festival featured country music headliners and local performers alike, but local fans didn't support the shows via ticket sales. “My answer is no, I don’t think Jamboree in the Hills could ever be duplicated, and that’s because of the people that made it part of their lives every single year,” said Tucker, who is now the executive director of Wesbanco Arena and the Capitol Theatre. “Country concerts are huge these days, so the industry is very strong, but I remember when someone from Live Nation came to Jamboree one year and they told me the company needed to do the same festival all over the country. All I could do was laugh. “They asked me if I thought the company could do it and my answer was ‘No’ because Jamboree in the Hills wasn’t something anyone could recreate somewhere else. I knew they wouldn’t like my answer, but there was no way we could recreate what this festival meant to the fans and to the people who worked it. That’s what made it work. The people were the heart of it, plain and simple.” The “hiatus,” obviously, turned out to be a permanent pause, and these days the legendary land is utilized as staging areas for gas and oil operations in Belmont County. The classic red barn still can be seen by motorist traveling U.S. 40, and some of the old, faded signage still hangs like grave markers in unkept, forgotten cemeteries. It was about tradition, it was about country, and it was about a community for more than four decades on those East Ohio hillsides. Some say they still hear the echoes while others excuse the sounds as wishful daydreaming. “We lost the spectacle that was Jamboree in the Hills. We lost big country music. We lost the big, multi-day show in the massive venue,” said Dutton, who now works with the operations of the Pike 40 Restaurant and the Dutton Cattle Co. “We lost our tradition. What Jamboree in the Hills was didn’t exist before it. We knew when we started Blame My Roots that it was never going to be what Jamboree was. We did believe we could provide a version of it, but the industry had changed too much for that to happen. “We lost something we’ll never forget. We lost that hallowed ground. We lost those reunions that took place in Red C or Green B. We lost something that can never be duplicated ever. That’s what we lost,” he added. “We lost that weekend on that hillside. Yeah … we lost our big spectacle in our own backyard.” https://ledenews.com/the-best-parts-were-the-worst-parts-of-jamboree-in-the-hills-chapter-1 https://ledenews.com/the-end-of-jamboree-in-the-hills-the-eyewitness-accounts Read the full article
