An Italian sub on Wegmans house-baked bread with deli cold cuts, oil, vinegar, and produce. Wegmans was founded in Rochester in 1916 and headquartered here still. The sub counter at any Rochester-area Wegmans is the fastest credible lunch in the city.

Wegmans Food Markets was founded in Rochester by John Wegman in 1916 as a single grocery store. The company grew to over 100 stores while remaining Rochester-headquartered and family-owned. The submarine sandwich counter, present at every location, became a regional institution because Wegmans bakes its own Italian bread daily and operates an unusually well-stocked deli. Rochester expats consistently cite the Wegmans sub as the local food they miss most.
