The Italian sub meets panzanella in this brilliant, briny salad
'I eat a lot of Italian subs,' social media personality and cookbook author Danny Freeman told me during a recent phone interview. 'It's my go-to sandwich.'
As he was working on his forthcoming second cookbook, 'Italianish,' Freeman knew he wanted to find a way to include his favorite sub. Another of his favorite dishes? Panzanella, inspired by the salads he ate during his childhood and as an ode to the love his dad and daughters have for tomatoes. At 1 and 5 years old, his daughters 'eat cherry tomatoes like candy,' he said. 'They eat big tomatoes like apples.'
