Why Doesn't NYC make Chicken Fingers Subs!!!
So we had to travel up to Western New York unexpectedly this week because of a death in the family. Death is never an easy thing and this was especially hard. So when Mr Trekker and I found ourselves with some down time I knew I was in need of getting some comfort food. We headed out to Pasquale's which is a casual Italian restaurant in the neighborhood. They have an awesome Baked Ziti here but I was feeling something extra unhealthy!! Before I even opened up the menu I knew exactly what kind of fried, greasy goodness I needed. A chicken finger sub!
This is truly something that I believe is made only in Western New York. It's breaded chicken fingers dipped in Buffalo Wing Sauce on a hero with lettuce, tomatoes and blue cheese.
As you can see it also is topped off with some provolone cheese that gets nice and melty once its squished inside next to the hot chicken fingers.
I was going to wash this all down with a Loganberry soda, another WNY staple, but I didn't think my body could handle all the sugar. This is such an awesome sandwich and so easy to make I can't believe it's no where in NYC? I almost want to open up a shop and start selling these babies myself.
Hmmm...maybe I'll get a truck...and call it the Chicken Fingers Sub truck and sell these out of there!!! Everyone loves truck food right :)

needless to say, buffalo food is the best in the world. best wings, best pizza, best hot dogs, best chicken finger subs!
I swear I am about to approach Jim's Steak Out to open a location here ...
Just another ex-WNY who found your page by googling for "chicken finger subs" and NYC.
I can't believe that no place here makes them. Such a great and simple sandwich. All told, I find the subs ("heroes") here in general to be sorely lacking.
I've been living in NYC for 10 years, and the cravings still don't go away. I'd kill for a Jim's Steak-Out chicken finger sub right about now.
