Capriotti’s is a
franchised sub shop that started in Wilmington, Delaware. The first shop
was opened on Union Street in 1976. I was introduced to it by my now
husband. He said that he really enjoyed their “Bobby” sub (Thanksgiving
on a roll). I checked out the menu and saw that they had some
good-looking vegetarian options: turkey, cheesesteak, and a cheeseburger!
Come on! Where else can you find this type of selection – around
Wilmington?
I’ll be honest, I’ve only tried the straight Veggie Turkey
sub. The veggie turkey is cut thickly (not like Tofurky’s thin slices)
and topped with Provolone, lettuce, tomato, onion, and some seasonings (my
guess is oregano, salt, and pepper). The whole thing melts in my mouth
and the mixture of soy turkey and spices is so delicious – a flavor
explosion. I will warn you, a small sub is kind of heavy on the calories,
so if you’re watching your weight or fat intake, I recommend getting it without
the cheese.
