I'd pay ten bucks for that sandwich. It looks really good!

Is this "Eat Green Local" sandwich served in styrofoam? hmmmm...

I beg to differ, frp. How do you think I managed to afford it?

Again, Chuck, I think the sandwich looks fantastic. And, I'm hardly "knocking" it; I mostly pointing to the fact that this particular sub, which looks to be about 4-5 inches in length, is, quite honestly, expensive. Still want to try it. However, after your last article on the farmers' market and shopping on a budget, this is hardly budget-minded....definitely foodie-minded, though.

Don't knock it 'til you try it. This is one of the lighter meatball sandwiches you'll ever have. Healthy and lean, not like anything that'll sit in your stomach from a hot dog stand.

Gotta agree with kdjk5467 on this one -- $10 for a meatball sub? It looks amazing (although I prefer my meatball subs swimming in red gravy), my guess is that the ingredient cost is the primary factor in the high cost of that sandwich.

$10.00 for that sandwich? Insane in the membrane!
