K-Mart Submarine's - a Blast from the Past!

Recipe #301815 | 40 min | 40 min prep | SERVES 4 , 4 Sub's (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Brandess

I had an awful craving hit me for one of these wonderful K-mart Sub's and HAD to have one! I searched high and low and finally found a woman on a message board that used to work the deli counter in the late 80's at a K-mart in Dayton, Ohio. This was one of the same stores that my Mom would take me as a kid to get one of these wonderful sub's and a frozen Coke! I used to stand in front of the counter and watch them make these sub's and remembered all but one of the ingredients. Make sure that you wrap your sub's and allow them to sit for 30 minutes before serving or they are not the same. This allows the bread, meat and veggies to show some love to one another.

    THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! These are exactly as I remember them and they brought back so many childhood memories of my parents buying them at kmart and we would go on a picnic. I made these early this morning and wrapped them just as you suggested. I took my boys and husband on a picnic to our local park and there was not a single remnant of a sandwich left! I have searched for this recipe for years and tho I have found some, NONE of them came close. These are exactly as they were. I cannot thank you enough and now my boys will have new memories!
