Best Potato And Egg Grinder

CARMINE'S SUB SHOP in Cranston remains a goldmine for locals in-the-know who need a sub prepared by an ol-skool Italian dude with a paper hat. Carmine and his wife Rose have been there forever, proudly dishing out their signature "Lumberjack subs,"which are big enough to put an axe-wielding hungryman into a culinary coma. And Carmine's is the only destination when you're craving a potato and egg sub, which the lunchtime crowd orders in every conceivable combo, adding pepperoni and cheese or rabe or escarole or fried peppers and onions, and always coming in under $6. Start with "Um, I'll have a small . . ." and you may get scolded — these picture-perfect heroes come in one size. A homemade meatball sub for under $4? Oh yes. | 310 Atwood Avenue, Cranston | 401.942.9600
