Hero is a NY thing. I always call it meatball parm hero or chicken parm hero by default, anything cold I call hoagie. That’s what happens when you grow up in central jersey I guess.

I have the misfortune of knowing bigots and perverts who insist there's no such thing as central Jersey. (NJ = North & South, no central...just as there's no E. Jersey or West. Like I said they're addle-brained.)

Central Jersey is a thing that only exists for people from North Jersey who don't want to be associated with North Jersey.

My gf grew up in South Jersey, I was born in NW Jersey, and one of my best friends in college grew up in Cranbury, Middlesex County and I teased her about the existence of Central Jersey, lol.

Nice area there though it's been about 20 years or so since I've been through there.

I remember there were still a lot of fields on that road between Cranbury and Plainsboro back then.

NYC thing, growing up upstate we’d call everything a sub.
