While I have always been a Subway fan, I thought it would be a great change to check out one of my hometown’ local sandwich shops, Our Hero.

The first time I had ever visited an Our Hero sandwich shop was on a Sunday afternoon after church.  My youngest sister had lived nearby and she suggested we stop to order a sub sandwich for a quick, healthier meal.  She explained that this was not just any sandwich shop but Our Hero, well known for their fresh made-to-order sandwiches.  I remember walking through the door for the first time, smelling the delicious aroma of fresh baked bread.  I couldn’t wait to order.

Looking  over the  menu, there were several options, but I learned quickly that they were famous for their Italian sub with baked ham, Genoa salami, pepperoni, capicola ham, provolone cheese, plus The Works, their super delicious oil and vinegar dressing with special spices.

I have to admit that Our Hero soon became one of my favorite stops when I moved closer to her neighborhood.  Of course, it was also close to Schuler’s Donuts, another hometown favorite, so I was in a win-win situation.   Soon,  I would be ordering the Italian sub multiple times per week until I eventually moved to Cincinnati.  When I return to visit family,  you can be sure I will be making a stop at Our Hero to order an Italian sub or two.

Have you visited Our Hero in Springfield, Ohio?  Is it one of your favorite places?  I would love to hear about your experience if you would kindly leave a message in the comments section below.
