Ah ha !!
I can't believe nobody got it right yet . A 'grinder' is a large meat sub that originated on the East coast during WWI or II, not sure . On the docks, Italian sandwich vendors developed the 'grinder' in honor of the men grinding rivets on the U.S. Battleships being built and repaired . The men, affectionately nicknamed grinders, were known for their long work hours and huge appetites .

A "Grinder" is a hoagie/sub/hero (whatever you call them where your from) toasted. Basically, they make your sandwich and throw it in the oven for a few minutes. The roll gets nice and crispy and the cheese on the sandwich melts. I've never heard of putting sauce on a grinder though, so I don't know what the other person is talking about.

Grinders are subs, hoagies, whatever one would call them.

They're usually hot sub sandwiches with tomato sauce and melted cheese and whatnot in them. They're good!

Just a more "Italian" way to say subs or hoagies.
