Charley's Grilled Subs
Restaurant in Newport News, VA
LIKE SO MANY THINGS, IT ALL STARTED BY A WRONG TURN MADE RIGHT. Charley was taking a family vacation when a missed exit brought him to South Philly. His 1st encounter with a local delicacy, a Philly Cheesesteak, was love at 1st bite. Completely hooked, he brought his findings back home to Columbus, Ohio and started testing recipes on his college buddies. AFTER PERFECTING THE RECIPE, Charley's fortune took another turn for the right. His mother let him borrow from her life savings to open the 1st Charley's on the Ohio State University campus.
