Man's Committment To Sandwiches Pushed To New Level

(NewsCore) - Hunger beat out the hospital for one Connecticut man. Shot twice near the groin, New Haven resident Miguel Soto III had a choice: Eat the sandwich he just bought, or rush to the emergency room just a block away. He headed home, sat down in the kitchen and polished off the hero before asking his dad for a ride to Yale-New Haven hospital, WVIT-TV reported late Wednesday.

Sadly, in yet another example of poor, sloppy journalism, the site does not report the two most vital pieces of information at play here though.  What kind of sandwich was it? And where did he get it from (seriously this sub shop should have a huge billboard that just says good enough to die for)?  

I'm going to rule out just about any kind of cold-cut sandwich because no man would be that ridiculous.  Has to be hot and has to be toasted.  I initially thought steak but then reconsidered,  good steak tip or steak and cheese subs are really a dime a dozen.  Each city has a claim to the best and for the most part they're all the same, can't be that.  Same argument goes for chicken parm, anyone can make a good one.  Meatball sub would be a good contender, but anyone that's ever heated up the leftovers to a meatball sub knows its almost as good cold or reheated as it was when it was piping hot.  

This leaves really only one option in my mind, the Thanksgiving Sub.  Its the pinnacle of sub-making and not every sub shop even attempts to make it.  Takes just the right balance of turkey and stuffing to protect the bread from becoming mush from the cranberry sauce and gravy.  When it's perfected, there is nothing better, dare I say worth dying for. Yep, that's gotta be it.
