April 19, 2019 By The Food Adventures Crew Leave a Comment

LLLLLets get ready for chomppinnnnnggg~ ! Spectators needed, and its all for charity.

Local Celebs will be tackling this 16 inch sub for charity

The Submarine House in co-ordination with Food Adventures Dayton is hosting an event on Saturday April 27th at 3pm.  Local celebs from all walks of life will be chewing for charity as they take the Super Duper Cheesesteak Challenge.  This is just a qualifier event to see if any of the local celebs can qualify for the store championship.

Money raised will benefit the Pink Ribbon Girls, from entry fees to a portion of all drinks and food bought during the event as well as straight up donations and a 50/50 raffle.

Dayton Most Metro and Dayton Dining are also partnering, and have EXCLUSIVE SCOOP on this extravaganza at the Centerville Submarine House at 503 Miamisburg Centerville Rd. 

Officer Steffano after seeing the 16inch super Duper Cheesesteak

—Admission for spectators is free,
2pm seating begins
3pm announcements
3:15pm contest shotgun start 

— A portion of food and drink bought during 2pm -5pm will go to Pink Ribbon Girls.

Can one of these celebs qualify for the store championship in May?

HERE ARE OUR CELEBRITY PARTICIPANTS:

1) KETTERING POLICE OFFICER MARK “THE ITALIAN STALLION” STEFFANO !
Used to keeping law and order, can one of Kettering’s finest “cuff” and tame the 16 inch Super Duper Cheesesteak?  Remember that means triple the cheese and triple the meat!  Can this Paisan meet the challenge?  Pride is on the line!

Mark will leave no crumbs in his beard !

 

2) THE REAL SANTA – MARK “THE BEARD” DAGROSSA:
The one and only real Santa in town, Mark is also a fixture at the Sons of Italy, and Italian Fall Festa handling cannoli.  He looks to handle the Super Duper Cheesesteak in under 16 minutes.  Also known for his work on the Gem City Podcast, Mark “The Beard” DaGrossa will be looking to beat the bun this year! We are grateful for his participation.

 

 

3) SENIOR CENTERVILLE FOOTBALL PLAYER, DECLAN “THE HUNGRY ELK” MASON:
Used to tackling dummies, can this player tackle a Super Duper Cheesesteak ?  Can this 18 year old stud intercept the 16 inches of heaven and beat the challenge?  The entire team should be there to support this Hungry Elk as we hand off of a sandwich with the works and triple the meat and cheese.

 

4) SONS OF ITALY “GARLIC CHAMP,” KEVIN SORICE:

The Garlic Champ


Used to eating garlic, organizing bocce ball and running the beer trucks at the Sons of Italy Fall Festa, Kevin is no stranger to the challenge.  He looks to improve his time in the “Senior division” of the competition.   A former college football player, he looks to size up the 16 inch sub.  Bad news for Kevin, there is no garlic on this cheesesteak.

 

Scott Halasz, Xenia Gazette Sportswriter

5) XENIA GAZETTE SPORTS and NEWS JOURNALIST, SCOTT HALASZ:
Local sports guru Scott Halasz
steps up to the challenge for charity and faces his first Super Duper Cheesesteak.  Can this journalist make headlines by beating the 16 inches with the works?   Look for him to have a secret strategy that may push him past the time limit with ease! We wish him luck and are excited to have him for this event.

 

6) GEM CITY ROLLER ATHLETE “ARCHANGEL ANARCHY”:
We expect elbows to be flying as this Gem City Roller Derby star attacks a Super Duper Cheesesteak. The only question is will she be wearing roller skates during the challenge?  She has 16 minutes to beat the challege and the sandwich with the works.  Used to speed and tough checks, this challenge is custom made for a hungry roller girl who is used to sandwiching her

Archangel Anarchy could kick a food critics butt

competition to the floor.

 

7) FORMER SUPER DUPER CHEESESTEAK CHAMP, STEVE HOWARD:
We have a ringer.  Stepping out of retirement, former 2012 Super Duper Cheesesteak champ Steve Howard is hungry for more.  Does he still have what is takes to beat the challenge and get on the leaderboard for the store?  We look for a good time and he is the man to beat.  Watching this guy mow through a 16 inch cheesesteak is worth the price of admission alone.

 

8) GEM CITY PODCAST STAR, TERRY “IZZY ROCK” MARTIN:
The man behind the Gem City Podcasts steps into the Cheesesteak arena to help the Pink Ribbon Girls.  Trading in his microphones and headset for a 16 inch sub with the works, can he beat the challenge? Or will the Super Duper sub make Izzy, too dizzy?  We have a feeling he may we the wildcard in this competition and could come in with an impressive time.  Come watch for yourself and see if Terry can do it !

 

Chrome Diva Rep Chris Goode almost came in 1st last time.

9) DAYTON CHROME DIVA BIKERS CLUB REPRESENTATIVE “GOOD GUY” CHRIS GOODE:
Loud motorcycles and long highways are a way of life, but can this open road friend of the Divas beat the open faced Super Duper Cheesesteak?  Watch as this Chris steps up to the table for charity again.  Gripping the sub like handlebars, we expect him to put the pedal to the metal and put a hurting on this sub.  This will be his 2nd time at the competition and his first time he nearly came in first place.  If he comes in hungry, look or him to be a dangerous competitor.

 

10) NICK TARKANY SR. OWNER and BREWER at HEAVIER THAN AIR BREWING CO.:
Nick is a big time aviation buff and expects to fly high in the cheesesteak challenge. Will he be able to land this sub with triple the meat, triple the cheese and the “Works” toppings which include mushrooms, onions, mayo, lettuce, tomato and hot relish?  We are grateful to have this local brewery owner and brewmaster, who makes incredible beer, as part of the fun.

Nick Tarkany Sr. from Heavier than Air Brewing Co.

 

11) DUSTIN STANLEY “DISTRIBUTION KING of WARPED WING“:
We will see if the transition from beer to cheesesteaks is a natural one as Warped Wing’s distribution king, puts his crown on the line.  Can Dustin beat the clock and make Ermal proud, or will the sub feel like ten tons of stout?  We are very excited to have him in the competition and look for him to possibly be a dark horse in the race.  Will he be able to can the competition?  Come watch and help us raise money for Pink Ribbon Girls.

 

12) RYAN ROTH, LOCAL ELVIS TRIBUTE ARTIST and VOTED DAYTON’s #1 MALE VOCALIST:
It’s one for the money, two for the show, 3 to ready now go Ryan go !  We ready for him to rock this event ! Will he be able to beat the King of cheesesteak challenges?  Ryan is a great sport, and we are thankful he is taking time to be in this charity fundraiser.  Food Adventures blog, Submarine House and the Pink Ribbon Girls say …. “AAahh thank you very muuucch.”

Submarine House Poll: Cheese Whiz or Cheese? + Win a Super Duper Cheesesteak !

September 11, 2018 By The Food Adventures Crew

WHIZ or WHIZ-OUT ?

“To Whiz or not to Whiz, that is the question….”

Dayton has it’s share of good places to grab a Philly Cheesesteak.   The Submarine House is at the top of this list and are one of the few spots that offer their cheesesteaks with a choice of Nacho Cheese Whiz sauce or Sliced Cheese.

Foodies have battled back and forth on which is the best way to eat a Philly cheesesteak.  So we look to you, our fellow, hungry Daytonians to solve this with a foodie poll.

Today we ask an age-old question that Cheesesteak lovers have been gnashing teach over for decades…. on your Philly Cheesesteak, do you prefer..

CHEESE WHIZ or CHEESE ?

Comment below, and one winner will be selected at random and win a Super Duper Cheesesteak from Submarine House, compliments of The Food Adventure Crew !  You can get your cheesesteak how you like it .. with the WHIZ or CHEESE !

Before you answer — what is a Philly Cheesesteak ?

Philly with Provolone Cheese option at Sumbmarine House

WHAT IS A PHILLY CHEESESTEAK ?
It is a sub, served on long, crusty french or italian style roll filled with thinly sliced and possibly sauteed beef and melted cheese. In Philadelphia, the cheese preference is Cheez Whiz. In other parts of the country it seems that shredded or sliced American, sharp or provolone are the preference. Many foodies say that the essence of cheesesteak preparation lies in the balance of flavors, ingredients , texture and the messy goodness, or “drip” factor.  Other toppings may include grilled onions, green peppers, mayo, sautéed mushrooms, and hot or sweet banana peppers. Even ketchup and French fries have topped a sub, as well as lettuce and tomato. The ultimate street food, a Philly Cheeesteak is a portable, hunger killing beast.

PHILLY CHEESESTEAK BABYLON:
In 1930 the sandwich world was turned upside down when Philadelphia hot dog vendor Pat Olivieri decided to grill beef one day.  A taxicab driver noticed the incredible aroma and ordered a steak sandwich. The rumor of the delicious lunch spread across town in a week. People from all around the city came to try the steak sandwiches.  He decided to expand and Olivieri opened up a shop on 9th Street and Passyunk Avenue, and called it “Pat’s King of Steaks”. The sandwich morphed as he began adding cheese to the recipe. Today the grill is open 24/7 and has a legendary rival cheesesteak shop across the street called “Geno’s” who claims they are the ones who added the cheese idea. Geno’s is also open 24/7. For decades, the two family owned businesses have been the center of discussion of who has the best cheesesteak in town. Who cut the cheese first? We don’t know…

How do you like your Philly ?

Fast forward to 1973 and history of Dayton Cheeseteaks takes shape.

THE HISTORY OF DAYTON’S SUBMARINE HOUSE:

THE SUBMARINE HOUSE OPENS IN DAYTON, 1973
–1973: 
The very first Submarine House was opened on Brown Street near the University of Dayton by Doug Kidd.   It was the first in the area to introduce the east coast style Cheese steak Sub.   Many UD students and Dayton natives had their first Philly Cheesesteak here.   One customer from Dayton, Gary Danner would eat there often.   He loved the subs so much, that in 1978 he became the first franchisee.  His store is still located today at 7850 N. Main Street.

–1984:
Gary bought the entire franchise from Doug.   By this time they were cranking out hundreds of subs.  The Submarine House continued to grow and expand around the suburbs.   Gary’s sons, Jason, Brody, and Seth worked for Submarine House as kids, and after college 2 of them went to work full-time for the company.

–1997:
Jason Danner opened his first Submarine House

—1999:
Brody Danner opened his first Submarine House.

—2006, The first sports bar concept, Submarine House Bar and Grill opens in Vandalia.   Jason and Brody have since opened numerous Bar and Grill Submarine House franchises. But you can still find their dad Gary, and wife Susan, at the Submarine House on North Main Street.

Submarine House in Centerville

—2018, The Super Duper Cheesesteak Challeenges have raised nearly 100k for charities over the past few years

Now  its time for you to make your choice and comment below…
Do you prefer your Philly Cheese Steaks with CHEESE WHIZ or CHEESE ?

ONE WINNER CHOSEN AT RANDOM WILL WIN A SUPER DUPER CHEESESTEAK !

The Food Adventures Crew has a say ……..

Big Ragu says: Provolone Cheese !
Jackie says : Provolone Cheese

City Sub Champ to Be Crowned June 9th!

May 30, 2018 By The Food Adventures Crew Leave a Comment

Come to the Centerville Submarine House Saturday June 9th and watch some people eat some subs… oh and you could win $10,000.

Yes … 10 grand …. and you can rock the night away with local band STRANGER who takes the stage at 7pm.

The Submarine House will crown the 2018 Super Duper Cheesesteak Challenge Champion on Saturday June 9th at the Centerville Bar and Grill Location at 503 Miamisburg-Centerville Rd.  The fast and furious action will take place at 5pm.   This is the Finale of the contest and will pit each store champion vs store champion in a chow down showdown that promises to leave no crumbs.

HERE’S THE SKINNY on THE SUPER DUPER CHEESESTEAK CHALLENGE:

CHOMP CHOMP !

For several years, the Submarine House has hosted the annual Super Duper Cheesesteak Challenge.  Hungry Daytonians have stepped up to take on the task of eating a 16 inch Super Duper Cheesesteak.  That means a Cheesesteak with triple the meat and triple the cheese, and the works toppings.  To beat the challenge, you have to eat all the deliciousness in 16 minutes or less.  Over the past couple of months each Submarine House location has had competitions to crown a “store champion” with the fastest time.   On June 9th those champs along with a couple of past city champions collide.  Again, this year the Centerville Submarine House is hosting the shindig.  Please come out and join the dozens and dozens who will be in attendance, seeing history take place.

Can anyone beat last year’s champion, CLAYTON NAYLOR, who ate the sub in about 2 minutes?

 

SUBMARINE HOUSE GIVES BACK:
This is also a celebration with the culmination of all the Submarine House location donations.   One of the most touching moments will be the presentation of a check donation to the Pink Ribbon Girls.  These funds were raised by the cheesesteak challenge and by donations from Submarine House owners, employees and customers.  Over the past few years, the Danner family, who owns the Submarine House, have contributed tens of thousands of dollars to local Dayton charities.  They have solidified their reputation as one of Dayton’s most giving restaurants.  Won’t you come out and support the cause as well?

Also, winners will include Submarine House customers as well.  Submarine House will be raffling off cash prizes of $1,000 and $10,000 dollars respectively.  That would be a nice kickstart to your summer.  You can order a lot of subs with 10 grand… but we digress…

 

STAY FOR THE AFTER PARTY, LOCAL ROCK BAND “STRANGER”  IN CONCERT !
Do you love 80’s music? Then you have yet another reason to come to the Submarine House June 9th. At 7pm, 80’s cover band Stranger takes the stage. End your night by rocking out to some great tunes.

What a great opportunity to come have dinner and drinks and watch the jaw dropping action.  There will be some big mouths chomping on those “16 inches of heaven.”  Stay for the live rock music afterwards !

 

About the PINK RIBBON GIRLS LOCAL CHARITY:
Pink Ribbon Girls provides Healthy Meals, Housecleaning, Transportation to Treatment and Peer Support to individuals with breast and women’s reproductive cancers free of charge.  The charity helps local women.  Real Dayton families are supported by them everyday.

So join the fun June 9th – here is the scoop:

There’s A New Beer in Town

September 28, 2017 By The Food Adventures Crew Leave a Comment

Bottom Dweller IPA – only available at Submarine House

Food Adventures has learned that brewmasters at Hairless Hare Brewery and the owners and staff at Submarine House have paired up, and have been pouring a new beer that is available ONLY at six Submarine House locations!

The beer is called BOTTOM DWELLER IPA, and promises to be a local favorite for those IPA lovers and hops fans.

 

HERE’S THE SKINNY on BOTTOM DWELLER IPA:

— Bottom Dweller IPA is available on tap only at the Submarine Houses in Vandalia, Huber Heights, Troy, Centerville, Beavercreek, and

Six Locations have the new beer

Hilliard.  It isn’t even available at the Hairless Hare Brewery’s tap rooms !

 

—It is a fresh, clean, citrusy-beer brewed from Columbus, Centennial, Citra, & Mosaic hops. Then dry-hopped with Citra and Mosaic hops.

 

Brewing Bottom Dweller IPA, exclusively for Submarine House

—At 7% ABV, this well-balanced IPA will take you to a place only few have been. Go There.  And while you are there, get a friggin Cheesesteak.

 

—The beer is in Submarine House locations now, and has been for 8 weeks.  Manager Kelsey Terhune tells Food Adventures that the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.

 

—Thirsty for more?  Growlers to go are available for this and all draft beers at every Submarine House location.  Fill up, drink up and repeat.

 

Hairless Hare Brewery in Vandalia

THE LEGEND of BOTTOM DWELLER IPA:

In the icy cold depths of the abyss lives a creature feared by all. Hiding in the darkness with an alluring bait that glows bright. Attracting wide-eyed prey within it’s hoppy reach.

 

THE LEGEND OF HAIRLESS HARE BREWERY:

Started in Vandalia and founded by owners Matt Harris and Mike Legg in 2013. The Hairless Hare Brewery is known for their wide selection of craft beer brewed at 738 W. National Rd. in Vandalia.  Whether you are a craft connoisseur or a beer beginner, they have brews that will please all tastes.

THE LEGEND OF SUBMARINE HOUSE:
This ever evolving family restaurant has been taken to the next level over the

Submarine House: Pizza to Salads

past few years by brothers and owners, Brody and Jason Danner. Teaming with a great staff and some franchise owners, they have expanded their stores, improved and completely overhauled the dining areas, expanded the draft beer selection, and added to the iconic menu.  They have embraced many local charities, hosting countless events including poker runs and their annual Super Duper Cheesesteak Challenge for charity.

All of this and still they keep the quality “16 inches of Heaven” in various subs and cheesesteaks that made these restaurants cult favorites and Dayton legends. Grab one of the Miami Valley’s favorite subs and a cold craft beer.

Dayton’s $30,000 Cheesesteak

May 24, 2017 By The Food Adventures Crew Leave a Comment

2017 Super Duper Cheesesteak Champ, Clayton Naylor, with his daughter

Dayton has a $30,000 Cheesesteak .. and in 2017 it was a pink Food Adventure.  Let us explain….

It was standing room only in the Huber Heights Submarine House Bar and Grill when Clayton Naylor chomped the competition last month.   He downed a 16 inch Super Duper Cheesesteak in the official time of one minute and 55 seconds, leaving all other store champions still chewing their food.  Clayton pocketed a grand, and got a 2017 Championship belt and trophy. He hugged his daughter and posed for pictures afterwards.  It was his 2nd championship, having won the event 2 years earlier.

Clayton said his nutrionist and trainer wasn’t happy about him eating the cheesesteak, but he he told them it is only 3 times a year …. so lighten up Francis.

Jason Danner holds up a $30,000 donation check to PInk Ribbon Girls

You would think that was enough excitement for one day at the Submarine House.  You would be wrong.  Earlier they announced the proceeds from their 2017 Super Duper Cheesesteak challenges would benefit the Pink Ribbon Girls, a Dayton charity helping local women with breast cancer.

Food Adventures is happy to have been a part of this challenge for the past few years.  In the past, we have watched Submarine House donate checks of $15,000+ and $17,000+ to local charities like Dayton Children’s Hospital,  This year, the Submarine House owners, Brody Danner and Jason Danner, were about to blow those numbers away.

This year, the Danner family, Submarine House and the Cheesesteak challenge raised  $30,000 for The Pink Ribbon Girls.

The crowd cheering on their favorite eaters

The crowd went bezerk as they held the huge “check” up for the people to see, and presented it to Heather Salazar – Executive Director from the Pink Ribbon Girls.

The event has turned into a day long celebration.  The Huber Heights locale hosted a beer tent, a bouncy house and live bands afterwards.  It was a day and an evening to celebrate a big donation to a great cause.

Let this be a reminder to you that in 2018 to support the Super Duper Cheesesteak Challenge when it rolls around again in January through March of next year.

In the heat of competition

These charity dollars support and directly affect real families in the Dayton area and are making a big difference in families’ lives.  Support local businesses that give back generously to local charities.

The Submarine House is one example of those places.  We look forward to next year’s challenges and congratulate all involved with this successful charity event.

2017 Cheesesteak Champ to be Crowned

April 19, 2017 By The Food Adventures Crew Leave a Comment

This is only one half of a Super Duper Cheesesteak

Oh … there are finals coming… but you wont have to study for these… and these finals are delicious!
Saturday April 22nd at the Huber Heights Submarine House Bar and Grill location, an all day event is taking place.

It has been months in the making.  Finally, the 2017 The Super Duper Cheesesteak Challenge, a charity promotion by area Submarine Houses comes to the finale this Saturday at 1pm, and a champ will be crowned…

It is going to be one hell of a Food Adventure this Saturday….

Cheesesteak Champs are hungry

how fast they could eat the Super Duper Cheesesteak Sub.   Now, April 22nd each local Submarine House store champ with the best time, will face off in person, against each other and past champions will be there too.

There have been draw dropping qualifiers and big mouths chewing.  We have seen huge subs inhaled and have seen disapointing times, but all  the events have always had one good outcome.  All proceeds this year support the Pink Ribbon Girls, a local charity focused on helping support area women facing breast cancer, and helping fund research for a cure.

Chef House will be judging and making sure no crumbs are left behind !

Now it all comes down to Saturday… one sub and a dozen of Dayton’s fastest eaters….
