A great hoagie is about more than what you can see.
Sure, everyone notices the fresh roll, the quality meats, the cheese, and the vegetables.
But sometimes, it’s the ingredients in between that bring everything together.
The mayo.
The oil.
The seasoning.
Those finishing touches can take a hoagie from good to unforgettable.
And at Ron’s Original Bar & Grille, we believe those ingredients deserve just as much attention as everything else.
That’s why we don’t take the easy route.
Made In House Because We Care What’s In It
There are plenty of ready-made products available to restaurants.
We could buy mayonnaise by the bucket.
We could purchase pre-made sandwich oils.
We could open a bottle, pour it on, and move on to the next order.
It would certainly be easier.
But easier isn’t really our thing.
Instead, we make our mayonnaise from scratch, right here in our kitchen, using 100% cold-pressed avocado oil.
Why?
Because we care about what goes into the food we serve our customers.
We made the decision to move away from traditional seed oils in our kitchen, and that commitment doesn’t stop at what’s used on the grill or in the fryer. We look at the ingredients that go into everything we serve—including the things many restaurants may not give a second thought.
Our mayo is one more example of that philosophy.
It’s not about taking shortcuts.
It’s about taking the time to do it better.
Our Hoagie Oil Is Anything But Ordinary
Then there’s the oil.
A lot of places use a generic blend, pour it straight from the bottle, and call it hoagie oil.
Not here.
Our hoagie oil starts with pure extra virgin olive oil and is combined with our own proprietary blend of spices to create the signature flavor that finishes our hoagies.
That blend is part of what makes a Ron’s hoagie taste like a Ron’s hoagie.
The right oil should complement the ingredients—not overpower them.
It should bring everything together.
It should add flavor to every bite.
And it should be made with ingredients you can feel good about.
That’s exactly why we make ours the way we do.
The Little Things Are Actually the Big Things
This is something we talk about a lot at Ron’s.
Quality isn’t one decision.
It’s hundreds of decisions.
It’s choosing fresh rolls from a local bakery instead of frozen bread.
It’s sourcing organic and locally grown produce whenever possible.
It’s paying attention to the lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and long hots instead of treating them like an afterthought.
And it’s making our mayo from scratch with 100% cold-pressed avocado oil and creating our own signature hoagie oil with pure extra virgin olive oil and our proprietary blend of spices.
Any one of those decisions may seem small.
But put them all together, and they make a difference.
Because a great hoagie isn’t made with just one great ingredient.
It’s made by caring about all of them.
Why We Do It
The honest answer?
Because that’s what we would want if we were sitting on the other side of the table.
We want to know what’s in our food.
We want ingredients chosen with intention.
We want quality without unnecessary shortcuts.
And we believe our customers deserve the same.
Could we save time by buying pre-made mayo?
Absolutely.
Could we save money by using a less expensive oil?
Of course.
Could we make things easier on ourselves by buying something already mixed, bottled, and ready to go?
Sure.
But we’ve never built Ron’s by doing what was easiest.
We’ve built it by paying attention to the details.
By asking questions about the ingredients we use.
By looking for better options.
And by continually challenging ourselves to make the food we serve something we’re proud to put in front of our customers.
Because Every Ingredient Matters
When you order a hoagie at Ron’s, you might not immediately think about the mayonnaise or the oil.
You might just know that it tastes good.
And honestly, we’re okay with that.
But behind that flavor is a lot of thought.
A decision to make instead of simply buy.
A decision to use 100% cold-pressed avocado oil in our house-made mayo.
A decision to use pure extra virgin olive oil and our own proprietary spice blend for our hoagie oil.
A decision to care about every ingredient—even the ones that could easily be overlooked.
Because that’s the difference.
At Ron’s, we don’t believe quality should stop at the obvious ingredients.
It should be in the roll.
It should be in the produce.
It should be in the meat and cheese.
And yes, it should even be in the mayo and oil.
Because when you care about what you’re serving, there really are no small ingredients.
And at Ron’s, we’re proud of every single one that goes into your meal.
