Lenny's, not Squiggy's

Our quest for The Best Hoagie in Philly began during the last snowstorm . . . in anticipation of being Snowed In, we made a quick run to Lenny's "Home Plate" on Ridge Ave in Roxborough.

How'd we discover Lenny's? The Workgirl googled Primo Hoagies Roxborough [we were thinking of going to Primo's] and a Yelp.com comment appeared noting that, "if you like Primo's, you'll love Lenny's . . ."

What the heck? we thought. We're game for something new. Mariavee especially liked the sports reference in it's name, harking back to her Barnie's "Instant Replay" Restaurant days.

Anne Workgirl enjoyed the ambiance of Lenny's, with it's "local flair." She even met a guy who had a sandwich named after him: The Albert. Mariavee could not get over the size of the large, "Major League" hoagie . . . wowie-zowie! And just $12.99!

Marcy Parm was glad to see leaves of Romaine lettuce on her hoagie, not the usual shredded Iceberg pieces! And the eggplant on her veggie hoagie, while breaded, was only lightly breaded. Mariavee and Anne both had Italian hoagies, on large sesame seeded rolls from Sarcone's. Yum! Lots of meat, cheese and many choices for adding spices.

Plus, they were so big there were Leftovers; and they were just as awesome the next day. We were glad we tried something new. On a scale of 1-5 lip smacks, we'd give it a solid 4.
