The 'Statue of Liberty' Party Sub
This colossal 'Statue of Liberty' Party Sub embodies the spirit of Early Cuyler's audacious pursuit of influence, piled high with robust meats, sharp provolone, and a zesty giardiniera that’ll make you feel like the king of your own mountain. It’s a sandwich built for a crowd, much like a monument for the ages, or at least for a very hungry party seeking a taste of freedom and good times. This sandwich will proclaim your culinary independence loud and proud.
Directions
- 1
Carefully slice the Italian bread lengthwise, almost all the way through, leaving a small hinge on one side so it can open like a book.
- 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, olive oil, dried oregano, black pepper, and kosher salt to create a zesty dressing.
- 3
Evenly spread the prepared dressing on both cut sides of the Italian bread, ensuring complete coverage to season the bread and prevent sogginess.
- 4
Layer the provolone cheese slices neatly on the bottom half of the bread, creating a sturdy foundation.
- 5
Arrange the Genoa salami evenly over the provolone, followed by the capicola, ensuring the slices are slightly fanned out for an impressive display.
- 6
Add the prosciutto slices on top of the capicola, allowing for some natural folds and textures.
- 7
Generously sprinkle the finely chopped and drained giardiniera over the layers of meat and cheese, distributing it evenly for consistent zesty bites.
- 8
Top with the thinly sliced tomato and the shredded iceberg lettuce, creating a fresh, crisp counterpoint to the rich meats.
- 9
Carefully close the top half of the bread over the fillings, gently pressing down to compact the ingredients while maintaining the sub’s impressive stature.
- 10
Wrap the entire 'Statue of Liberty' Party Sub tightly in parchment paper, then in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the bread to slightly absorb the dressing.

Before serving, unwrap the sub and slice it into individual portions, approximately 2-3 inches thick, using a sharp serrated knife.
