The hoagie (also known as a submarine sandwich) is an American original, and it first appeared in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 1992, then-Mayor Ed Rendell declared it the "official sandwich of Philadelphia," initiating the official Wawa Hoagie Day at City Hall. Wawa is a regional convenience and gas station retailer.
The hoagie is a built-to-order sandwich on a long Italian roll, typically filled with deli meat and cheese, garnished with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and onions, and finished with a drizzle of oregano-vinegar dressing. Hoagies can be filled with tuna, chicken cutlets, and roasted vegetables, among other fillings.
National Hoagie Sandwich Day is celebrated with hoagie shops providing free (or discounted) hoagies to local law enforcement, firemen, and other civil servants. The actual day of this promotion can vary. Wawa often holds it in June or July near the Fourth of July holiday, rather than on National Hoagie Day. Some stores will give hoagies to the first 50 or 100 customers on this day.
