Atlantic City, Philadelphia Sub Shops Named Among Best in US

Atlantic City and a Philadelphia sub shops have gained newfound recognition for their subs in a recent culinary profile.

The website Tasting Table recently named White House Subs in Atlantic City and Paesano's in Philadelphia among the top 14 best Italian sub shops in the country. 

"This unassuming corner restaurant is putting out some of the best sandwiches in the city, and it's helmed by chef Peter McAndrews (who has a master's degree from an Italian culinary school). You'll find a menu that turns ingredients like beef knuckle, chicken livers, suckling pig, and artisanal lamb sausage into crave-worthy sandwiches, and that includes a take on the Italian sandwich called the Daddy Wad," writes DB Kelly.

The subs from Paesano's are served on rolls from Liscio's Bakery of Philadelphia. They feature fresh meats topped with onion, sweet and hot peppers, roasted tomatoes, arugula, oil, and vinegar.

Where: 943 S. Ninth St., Philadelphia

"White House has made it clear that there's a big focus on consistency here. The super-fresh bread is a big deal for many people, and it's sourced from a local bakery and delivered multiple times a day. You'll get to watch as generous portions of cold cuts and onions are piled on, and the old-school atmosphere here makes the subs not just a sub, but an experience. It's a highly recommended, must-try classic, and although you'll have to plan on waiting, it's worth it," Kelly comments about White House Subs.

According to Tasting Table, White House Subs was named one of America's Classics by the James Beard Foundation in 2000.
