"Of all the wonderful heroes made at Faicco’s, two with cold cuts stand out. One, the Italian hero, comes piled high with prosciutto, capicola, and soppressata, an Apulian large-bore salami made at the Faicco’s branch in Dyker Heights. The other hero, called the American, is filled with boiled ham, roast beef, turkey, and American cheese. Both are great in their own way and constitute a chronicle of Italian immigration." - Robert Sietsema
