Chef notes

One of Cleveland, Ohio's signature dishes is the Polish Boy Sandwich, a hoagie filled with kielbasa, vinegar-based coleslaw, french fries, barbecue sauce and hot sauce. Now, doesn't that make you want to move there? We feel the same way.

Chef's note: Feel free to substitute store-bought vinegar based coleslaw.
