As you may have read a few months ago, I actually know the brothers Gaglione.  I worked with Andy back in my corporate life and it’s been too long since I’ve seen him or his brothers Joe and Tony.  I’m very pleased, but not surprised, that their fabulous family run sandwich shops have experienced such success.  Bite into one of their sandwich masterpieces and you’ll instantly see why they have a loyal following.
