[Sca-cooks] Dinner Tonight

All of what the Master there said except our
local place runs them through an oven and grills them
so they are all toasted and the cheese is melted.

The History of  Mancino's Grinders and Pizza

The term "Grinder" can be traced back to the east coast,
where during WWI, Italian immigrants set up sandwich shops
close to the shipyards.  Their freshly baked Italian
rolls were filled with generous amounts of meats and cheeses,
and were then baked and garnished with lettuce and tomatoes.
These super-sized sandwiches were a favorite
of the hard working men who ground rivets on the metal warships.
The friendly shop owners referred to those men as grinders and the
ever popular sandwiches also came
to be known as Grinders.

Mancino's Grinders and Pizza Shops were established
 in the late 1930's by Samuel Mancino, Sr., near St.
 Claire Shores, Michigan.  the original recipes and good customer
relations were the hallmark of Sam Mancino's success, and those
concepts are still prevalent today in all Mancino's shops.


Presently, there are several Mancino's locations throughout the midwest.
