Listen "Discovering the Mike Behind Jersey Mike's"
Episode Synopsis
New Jersey, known as the Garden State, boasts many firsts in the USA: the inaugural organized baseball game, the world's first boardwalk, the creation of saltwater taffy, the first drive-in movie theater, and the first brewery. It's even where the first can of condensed soup was cooked!
But perhaps the most delicious contribution from New Jersey, right after the fame of Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi, is the first submarine sandwich shop: Mike’s Subs. This small shop eventually evolved into the national sensation we now know as Jersey Mike’s. So, how did this humble sandwich artist rise to iconic status?
