A grilled Italian sausage on a soft bun with sweet onions and peppers, sold from a smoking grill outside Holy Rosary Catholic Church during the Italian.

Italian families that settled around Holy Rosary Catholic Church in the early 1900s brought the sausage sandwich tradition from southern Italy. The Holy Rosary Italian Street Festival has run since 1984 and serves thousands of sausage sandwiches in two evenings each June. Iaria's, the Italian-American room a few blocks away, has anchored the neighborhood since 1933.
