Subs

HEROS

Think of a popular fast-food sandwich often made with meatballs or cold cuts, served on a long roll.

Subs" is short for "submarine sandwiches," but here it’s a playful hint at "heroes" (heros) as the slang term for large sandwiches. The clue relies on the casual nickname for subs, where "heros" is a regional variation—especially common in the northeastern U.S.—meaning the same thing. It’s a straightforward wordplay where the answer sounds like what you’d call a big, loaded sandwich.
