Are we talking about the Mario's on Wilson Blvd. in Arlington? I used to go there a lot when I first moved to DC (I stayed with a friend in Arlington for a month before Rhoda and I got an apartment in PG County, MD). I remember the first sandwich I got from there: a foot-long ham, egg and cheese hoagie (I think that's what it was called). It was like $9 and sooooo worth it. Their pizza kicked ass too.
Here in St. Louis, sandwiches are sometimes called Poor Boys, though they are nothing like the New Orleans variety. Other than that, we just call 'em sandwiches.
Sorry...I love some of the chains: Quizno's, Subway, Blimpie. Don't like Penn Station though. And I get irritated when I see a place with a "Philly" sandwich, because I know better.
And it's (yee-roh). I have two relatively new Mediterranean restaurants near my house...both have excellent gyros. *drools*
