History tells us that the original sub sandwiches stem from New York. So does Bob Zaptin. Proud owner and Chef of Brooklyn Bob's Sub Shop located at 839 W. National in Milwaukee. Bob, a former Marine, and his wife Jeannie moved to Wisconsin in 1989 with the vision to open a Sub shop. That vision came to life on April 18th, 2005 when they officially opened their doors to the city of Milwaukee.
