Put it on a plate or in between some sort of bread, it doesn't matter. Eat it at home or at a bar, doesn't matter. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, who cares. If my wife asks what I want for dinner, it's chicken parm. If it's on the menu, I'm going to order it.
Believe it or not, I'm sitting here enjoying one from Cafe Rustico as I blog this.
Well, due to this extreme passion for one particular food, many people often ask me "where is your favorite"? Sadly, I've never really had an answer. Thus, I have decided to start compiling images of each chicken parm sub that I eat and sharing them with you all. We will start with subs and then maybe move on to actual meals (with pasta, salad, whatever) - we'll see how it goes.
So, over the past year ... ok months ... ok maybe weeks ... I've taken two pictures of each chicken parm sub that I've eaten. Initially, I started to rate them on overall taste, quality of chicken, ease of eating, sauce, and lastly, how I felt afterwards (like can I work or do I sleep?), but I decided to leave that out for now.
The main reason being, I love chicken parm no matter where it's from or what it looks like, so I'll let you be the judge. Feel free to ask about questions along the way.
That being said, I definitely have some favorites (Mulligans, Shorty's NYC), as well as some that I'd never order again in a million years (Sal's Lunch, Sbarro).
When I created the blog, I figured I'd concentrate on Boston as that's where I work, live, and play; however, as I've been traveling a lot recently, found myself ordering chicken parms all over the world, so felt it was only right to include them.
Today, I've decided to publish all of the ones I have enjoyed to date (since this idea came to fruition), but there are many many more to come. I look forward to going back to all the places not yet included and giving them the respect they deserve -- for the world's greatest sandwich.
If you think there is one that I must have, I want to hear about it. If you have an opinion on any that I've posted, leave a comment.

Happy Monday,
