Heroes By The Foot — A Flavor-Packed Centerpiece for Any Event

If you’re planning an event in New York City and want to offer something memorable, practical, and crave-worthy, nothing competes with heroes by the foot. These oversized sandwiches have become a go-to centerpiece for parties, corporate lunches, and casual gatherings alike. At Ny Susan’s Kitchen, we take the concept and elevate it—using gourmet ingredients, handcrafted sauces, and unique flavor profiles that turn a simple sandwich into a signature dish.

Forget the bland cold cut platters. Our heroes by the foot are built fresh to order, layered with intention, and presented beautifully for any occasion. Whether you need a 3-foot hero for a team lunch or a 6-foot stunner for a weekend celebration, our sandwich artistry makes a bold impression.

What Makes Our Giant Heroes Different?

Our approach starts with the bread. Every hero begins with artisanal loaves chosen for texture and flavor, whether that’s a crusty baguette, fluffy brioche, or seeded Italian. From there, we layer premium proteins—like slow-roasted jerk chicken, herbed turkey, or house-marinated roast beef—topped with house-made condiments and fresh garnishes.

Unlike many catering companies that rely on processed meats and packaged spreads, our sandwiches are made with ingredients you’d expect from a boutique kitchen. Flavor drives everything we do. That means adding a kick of West African pepper aioli, a layer of citrus-infused slaw, or unexpected additions like roasted eggplant or pineapple chutney.

Size & Customization Options

We offer our heroes in 3-foot, 4-foot, and 6-foot lengths. Each foot serves approximately 4–6 guests, depending on appetite and sides. You can customize your order to include one consistent filling or a combination of two to three flavors. We also offer sliced heroes with labeled sections for easier service, or whole presentation for that dramatic reveal moment at your event.

You can build your own hero from our seasonal sandwich menu, or choose from best-sellers like our spicy chicken with lemon aioli and greens, turkey with cranberry slaw, or roasted sweet potato with black bean mash for a vegan-friendly option.

Perfect for Every Occasion

Our giant heroes are designed for flexibility. They’re just as welcome at birthday parties and backyard brunches as they are at product launches or company milestones. Hosting a team lunch? A sliced 4-foot hero on a platter with chips and drinks gets the job done. Planning a baby shower or engagement brunch? Try combining a 3-foot vegetarian hero with a selection of finger foods and desserts.

If you’re looking to add thematic variety, we also offer curated menu sets inspired by global cuisines. Our themed lunch menus let you coordinate your hero sandwich with sides, drinks, and even the tableware to match the mood of your gathering.

Flavor Profiles & Signature Combinations

Where most foot-long sandwiches rely on standard deli combos, we take pride in creating bold, layered flavors. Our jerk chicken hero blends smoky heat with cooling slaw and a hint of lime. The roasted eggplant and feta option adds earthiness and tang, perfect for vegetarians. Smoked salmon, herbed cream cheese, capers, and pickled onion offer a brunch-inspired option with depth and elegance.

If you’re feeding a diverse group, you can select one of our balanced combination packages, which might include one spicy, one mild, and one vegetarian option. For more lunch ideas beyond the sandwich, see our sandwiches lunch packages to build a full meal your guests will remember.
