When it comes to comfort food, we do it right here in New England. I think it has something to do with the fact that it's cold half of the year so we have learned to lean on our cuisine to warm our bones and our hearts.

Comfort food comes in many forms: Macaroni and Cheese, Grilled Cheese Sandwiches and Tomato Soup, or American Chopped Suey, All of these foods have the same leading lady in common; CHEESE! New England is no place for the lactose intolerant. Get some Lactaid or get the heck out!

Another comfort food crowd pleaser around here is the Steak Bomb Sub. I remember we had a sub shop in my hometown of Leominster, MA, called Tory's and it was pretty legendary. The subs were massive and the cheese to steak ratio was absolutely perfect. They go by a different name now but here is an amazing Yelp review from back in 2008 that really captures the essence of the original Tory's:

"For just over $7 the large Cheese Steaks are amazing and huge enough to feed a small African village. Packed with fresh, lean steak and gooey melted cheese the cheese steaks come in too many varieties to count (ok 21 really, but that is a lot). "

Gooey is the perfect word to describe the consistency of this sandwich and it was nothing short of beautiful

I have never found a sub shop that replaced Tory's in my heart but I have a feeling that is all about to change.

It has been brought to my attention that the one and only Market Basket has a Steak Bomb sub that will knock your socks off and it's only $6.

Sure, it's not a mom and pop shop but if you're in a pinch and need to satisfy your Steak Bomb craving, it has been called an outstanding and affordable option!

Have you ever tried the Steak Bomb sub at MB? Should we believe the hype?
