I drove all around town for a real Italian deli, not no Boars head meats. I found this one in Las Vegas. All fresh Italian meats. You know it's real when all the different meats melts in your mouth. I used Provolone cheese instead of the fresh mozzarella. I couldn't find yellow tomato's either. It's getting out of season I'm guessing.
Back to this incredible sandwich. The dressing,"OMG" was spot on good. I doubled it up. For future sandwiches. The egg plant was so good. I don't know what other people are talking about that it didn't make that much of a difference, it made all the difference, I felt. It gave it that Italian flavor. I saw this sandwich, It reminded me of when my mother came out a fed all my friends that were working on her roof. Italians always have fed friends and family with sandwiches. I will be making this again. I know it's just going to get better. I look forward in making this for my friends and family time and time again....Olmoosedog....

I love Jeff's recipes and it is always easy to add your own ingredients if you think something isn't working for you. I find Jeff one of the best hosts to watch. He is so funny and down to earth without being cocky or obnoxious like some think out there. He is just plain fun to watch and learn new tricks for making sandwiches. I am making this sandwich for the game on Sunday and I know it will be a hit. It doesn't matter if you can't really taste the eggplant, at least I know it is a vegetable that I will get into my kids without them complaining.

This was an excellent sandwich. I agree that the eggplant is not very flavorful but it provides a nice texture difference, soft and moist. I added provolone which was the only change that I made. The sauce was great, not too sweet at all. High quality ingredients are a must, i bought my meats, cheese and bread from an Italian market. I will be making this again.

I watched this show and wanted to make the sandwich for dinner that evening! Standing in line at our local deli on a Sunday, however, made me wait until Monday. The sandwich was delicious, but I'd have to agree with another viewer that the eggplant flavor was pretty non-existent. I also agree that a sharper cheese would have added more flavor than the fresh mozzarella. Jeff, however, had us in stitches watching the show... I think he's hilarious and not NEAR the show-off that Fieri has gotten to be. At least he doesn't name drop his kid's name every three seconds like Guy, who seems to be setting Hunter and Ryder (I know their name because he never STOPS talking about them up for their own future shows.

This sandwich looked really good when watching the show. However, I can't say that it was. The Italian dressing was way too sweet for my taste and I'm not sure what the eggplant's purpose was--pretty mushy. As for taste, provelone would have been better than mozzarella. It was a nice try, but I won't be making it again.

I made this sandwich without the mortadella and I replaced that with pepperoni. Personally, I am finding Jeff Mauro to be a showoff just like Guy Fieri in Triple D but a lot more obnoxious, especially on his new show $24 in 24.

Saw this on the show this morning and HAD to have it for dinner tonight! Very tasty! I made a slight adjustment when I made it, I toasted the buns first. The Italian dressing is very good!! The flavors of the dressing with the cheese and the unique quality of the meats combined, very familiar, but yet, such a new flavor experience! A tasty sandwich! Well done Jeff!!
