If he's from Connecticut, is he a "grinder" instead of a "hero" (Or, is that far enough west to be called a "wedge" and not a grinder?)

Good job Mr. Khan.

Yeah, I don't hear people calling sandwiches "heroes" here in Ct., but it's a nice story.

It's how you're supposed to pronounce gyro.

What is a gyro? Is that another term for hero/sub/grinder? It's funny how there must be a dozen regional names for the same thing.

Okay, I just looked up gyro, it's something different, a Greek sandwich on pita bread.
