Summertime Bologna Sandwiches

The Cousins Subs Fried Bologna Sub Has a Crispy, Meaty Texture

The Cousins Subs Fried Bologna Sub is a new limited time offering from the brand that's crafted with nostalgia in mind to offer customers the perfect option to enjoy this summer. The sandwich starts off with the brand's classic Italian bread that's topped with ample amounts of fried Usinger's bologna alongside bacon, American cheese, onions, pickles, mayo and mustard. The sandwich is thus inspired by the classic recipe that many consumer swill remember from their childhood to make it a must-try amongst avid fans, but also newcomers.

The Cousins Subs Fried Bologna Sub is being launched now at participating locations in Wisconsin and Indiana where customers can order it in-store, online or through the brand's app through Sunday, July 27, 2025.
