From the newsroom: What do reporters at The Sun News order from Publix?
Just like many other beachgoers, the reporters and editors at The Sun News love a Pub sub.
The sandwiches from Publix — nicknamed Pub subs — are a popular pick from the grocery store deli. Publix is based in Florida but has over 1,400 locations spread across eight Southern states, its website states.
With hundreds of combinations of sandwiches, here is what The Sun News staff orders at Publix and where we take our sandwiches.
