Now THAT's a Sandwich

Let’s see how fast Kobayashi can scarf down one of these bad boys.

It’s called the “Super Sub” – 16 inches of deli-style decadence, including a generous combination of ham, provolone, capicola, salami and proscuittini; garnished with “the works” (lettuce, tomato, onion, oregano, oil & vinegar and salt & pepper); and loaded onto a crusty Italian semolina bread loaf. And for $8.99, you’ve got a meal for one to four people, depending on your or your friends’ appetite.

(Point of reference from yours truly, the 200-pound sandwich hound: I usually get it when I’m very hungry, and manage to get about two-thirds of the way through before wrapping up the remainder, storing it in the fridge and polishing that off in Round Two a few hours later).

The “Super Sub” is one of 18 monster offerings at Subs and Suds, located on Postal Way in Carolina Forest just down the road from the post office. For owners Dean and Robin Wooley, the inspiration was simple: opening Subs and Suds was a chance for the former New Jersey residents to bring a slice of their roots for their new Grand Strand customers to enjoy.

”Our sandwiches combine the best of what we liked before we came here,” Dean explains. “We just asked ourselves, ‘What would we consider to be the ultimate sub?’ And that’s what we try to give our customers.”

In addition to their 8-inch counterparts (cold and hot), Subs and Suds also offers the traditional deli salads (baked potato, macaroni, cole slaw); garden salads and “sub” salads that add ham, cheese and turkey; and a full complement of party platters, 4-foot and 6-foot sandwiches for your next catered affair.

Take out, or eat in with a soft drink or cold brew while enjoying your favorite sporting event from one of Subs and Suds’ plasma TVs.
