I haven't seen one on a menu for decades - thought they had pretty much died out by the 1970s. It's sort of retro-enough to be a bit cool, except for the artery-clogging thing...

You can still get hot sandwiches at Irving Big Stops in the Maritimes, and in most Ma & Pa family restaurants around here. And, yes, they still get served with peas.
When I was a kid growing up in the 60s and early 70s in PEI, going to the Bonnie Brea Restaurant in Cornwall to get a hot sandwich was a rare family treat. We only did it a couple times per year.
Oh, the memories.........
