Spicy Eggplant Parm Sub (Vegetarian) in New York City

A bold, vegetarian take on eggplant parm that’s built for balance: a savory baked eggplant cutlet layered with fresh whipped burrata, bold marinara, parmesan, and a kick of house-infused calabrian chile oil, finished with peppery arugula and a light crunch from toasted breadcrumbs. It all lands on a semolina roll baked fresh in-house, so every bite stays structured, crisp, and satisfying—comfort food energy, with Sandwell’s healthyish touch.
