"It's a favorite because it's quick, filling, and easy to throw together between calls. More importantly, it brings everyone into the kitchen. Someone's chopping meat, someone's cutting lettuce, someone's mixing the dressing. It turns a simple sandwich into a group effort. At the firehouse, that's what it's about. We really are a big family, and meals like the chopped Italian keep everyone connected."

Directions
Build the Chop
On a large cutting board or flat top: chop it all!! Start with all the meats and provolone first. Chop until coarse but evenly combined.
Add the Veggies
Pile and chop:
- Lettuce
- Tomatoes
- Onions
- Banana peppers
Dress It
Pour the dressing evenly over the entire mixture. Chop and toss everything together until:
- Well mixed
- Fully coated
- Still slightly crunchy
Let sit for 5–10 minutes to allow flavors to come together.
Assemble
Add mayo if desired. Load the chopped mixture heavily onto each roll. Press slightly, wrap, and serve.
Serve
Serve with chips. Keep extra rolls on hand.
Notes
Built for speed and volume—perfect between calls. Don’t over-chop—texture is everything. Dressing is the engine—don’t skimp.
Best eaten fast between calls. Because it’s Jersey.
