00:00Hey, it's Bob with another edition of Bob Eats Boston. This time we're on Prospect Street

00:10in wonderful Walfam because listeners have been telling me about Carl's. And we asked,

00:18hey, who makes the best subs around? Numerous people mentioned Carl's, so let's check it out.

00:23Okay, we're inside Carl's with the owner of Carl's, Eric.

00:27Yep. Right? Eric, who's Carl, by the way?

00:30Carl's a long history of a name, but my grandfather was Carl.

00:35Okay.

00:35And I have a brother, Carl, who was named after my grandfather, which never was really in the business.

00:39You never was?

00:40No, but it is a family name.

00:42But Carl probably likes subs, right?

00:44Carl likes subs, yeah.

00:44He doesn't. Okay, so Eric, you're the owner and manager at the store?

00:48Yep, the owner.

00:49And I'm impressed with how busy it is. We're here kind of early for lunch, and it's been nonstop traffic. Crazy.

00:55Yeah, we've been here. She's opened up in 1981, so we've been here 43, 44 years.

01:02And yeah, we've done steak and cheese from the beginning, and it's just kind of a staple in the area.

01:07Okay, so I asked our listeners, what is a great sub shop in Boston for this show?

01:13I know numerous people mentioned Carl's, and they also said I have to have the Giambatta.

01:18Yeah, the Giambatta.

01:19I mean, we have so many different subs.

01:21That's probably the one, if you like everything in it, peppers, onions, mushrooms, sausage, pepperoni, tomato sauce.

01:27I mean, you can't go wrong with any sub you get if you like the ingredients in it.

01:32And we have a bunch to choose from, from teriyakis to chapotes, to just a whole array of steak and cheese.

01:40Okay, I'll try the Giambatta.

01:41I'll try the Giambatta.

01:42Yeah, let's do that.

01:42We might get some tomato sauce or some steak or some cheese dripping off gin.

01:47You know me.

01:48There's no doubt about it.

01:50I'm talking about myself.

01:51Same, brother.

01:52Well, here it is, the Giambatta, which I understand now is everything but the kitchen sink.

01:59And if I keep looking, I might find the kitchen sink in this thing.

02:03Look how much that's the steak.

02:05And on top, you got pepperonis, peppers, onions, mushroom.

02:10It is a mega steak and cheese.

02:13Going in for that first bite.

02:15Oh, sausage as well.

02:20Oh.

02:22Wow.

02:26I got no words.

02:27Giambatta.

02:28Now I know why they call it that.

02:29It is everything I was hoping it would be.

02:33So thanks again, guys, for recommending Carl's here on Prospect Street in Waltham.

02:37Try the Giambatta or any steak and cheese or any sandwich.

02:41They've been around over 40 years and I can see why.

02:43They make incredible subs.

02:45So hit me up.

02:46Tell me other places that we should check out for Bob Eats Boston.

02:50You know we love to eat.
