I need help locating the specific recipe used by ZCMI to make their hoagie sized 
bread baked with ham and cheese in the center.  It was a favorite of mine and I 
would love to recreate it.

Hi Laura,

Sorry, I had no success locating this recipe. I'll post it on the site. Perhaps a reader can help.

Best hot dogs in the world are Remo's Hot Dogs in Gallipolis, Ohio. Spicey, 
Italian flavor foot-longs.  I live in Cincinnati now, 3 hours away from them. 
Can't even find a similar recipe. Can you help?  Thank you, Hayden 

Hello Hayden,

Wish I could help, but I had no successs locating a copycat recipe for Remo's hot dogs.

There is an article about Remo's here:

Daily Tribune

And this article appears to indicate that Vietnamese Sriracha hot sauce is one ingredient in Remo's sauce:

L.A. Times

I'll post this on my site. Maybe a reader can help.

Hi Kevin

Wish I could help, but I can't find even a mention of this particular coney island. Best I can do is post your request on my site and hope that one of my readers has a recipe.
