Jason Wells+FollowCharlotte’s Primo Hoagies swaps spinach for rabeCharlotte foodies, here’s a twist: Primo Hoagies’ Bada Bing sandwich now comes with Italian-seasoned spinach instead of the classic broccoli rabe due to a local shortage. The spinach isn’t just a fill-in—it actually adds a peppery, garlicky kick that some say outshines the original. The chicken cutlet is still juicy, the seeded bread is top-notch, and the sharp provolone brings the right bite. At $15.99, it’s a splurge, but the flavor combo is worth it. Has anyone else tried the new version? Which do you prefer—spinach or rabe? Let’s hear your sandwich takes! #Food #CharlotteEats #PrimoHoagies00Share
