So, I'm a firm believer New Jersey provides the best Italian subs in the country- you can find one of these salty vinegary delights in basically any strip mall up and down the state. The District of Columbia, however, begs to hold a candle in comparison. I heard there's a good Italian store on some side street off NY Ave which is completely not metro accessible (so who cares) but its been a small mission of mind to find the most authentic New Jersey Italian sub. More often then not the bread is wrong, or they use an Italian vinaigrette instead of oil and vinegar, or the meat selection is completely off... BUT I do have to say a close match- and probably the best I've had in the city for a looong time is at Wagshall's Market and Delicatessen in Spring Valley. Yes its a hike but great food, quality prep and a landmark in the city. If you're ever there be sure to stop by.

- Hi there, my name is Giacomo and I enjoy things delicious. Long story short, my parents moved from Italy to NJ where I grew up (and loved it) but found myself in Washington, DC fourteen years ago and haven’t yet found an excuse to leave. Food has always been a huge part of my day and life… from happy times, sad times, holidays, drunken escapades and all the rest in between, I’ve usually spent a good portion of that time putting something in my mouth. I guess I started this blog a little while ago to keep track of what I was cooking and places I’d eat-- simply because my friends were always asking “how do you make this” or “where do you get that” but surprisingly over time I guess real people started reading too. SO, take a look around and let me know what you think. You’ll see that the backbone of lots of my food is Italian but I manage to cover most bases. Thanks for stopping by. BUON APPETITO!
