The Underground Artichoke Parm That's Turned Into A Brooklyn Staple
BY MICHELLE WELSCH
Located in Brooklyn's Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, Mama Louisa's Hero Shoppe has been making artichoke parm sandwiches since the 1950s, which have many devoted fans.
The sandwiches include marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, artichoke hearts, and scrambled eggs served on Italian bread. However, the exact recipe is a secret.
The sandwich is a tangy, creamy flavor combination framed by soft bread that is toasted to perfection. It’s a great lighter lunch option for those who don’t want a meatier dish.
For $9, the deli provides a generous amount of artichoke hearts, scrambled eggs, and thinly sliced mozzarella cheese. According to one reviewer, the sandwich is even good cold.
