Before the Earl of Sandwich unveiled his famously portable meat-toting meal, failed attempts at meat storage included the meat-in-a-fishbowl and meat toupee. Treat taste buds to meaty innovation with today's Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of sandwiches and more at one of three Hogie House locations.

For more than 50 years, family-owned-and-operated Hogie House has been paying homage to the Philadelphian delicacy with freshly prepared sandwiches readily savored in a relaxed environment. Sample a tasty selection of Philly favorites, such as the Italian hoagie with salami and provolone ($4.79+), or stretch out palates with a hoagie burger ($4.89+), steak and onion sub ($4.99+), and a veggie hoagie ($4.79+). Each sandwich ranges in size from a modest 6 inches to a staggering 36 inches, allowing it to conveniently double as a jousting rod that diners can wield while competing for the right to take the first bite.
