The first time I ever had “Buffalo wings” I just about flipped!! What an awesome idea that lady from Buffalo, New York had!!! Ever since then, I’ve used the same concept making dips, pizzas, salads, and my latest concoction… HOAGIES! They are REALLY good!! Enjoy! 😀 (Photo by me)

4 hoagie rolls split half lengthwise through the middle
3/4 c butter (1 1/2 sticks), softened
2 Tbsp minced garlic

2 Tbsp finely chopped celery
12 slice roma tomatoes, thinly sliced
