Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, East Coast Super Subs is back on the scene and serving its popular sandwiches at 136 N. Park Ave.
You may be thinking, “Hold on a second… this isn’t where the restaurant is. That’s the music venue, The Rock, and where all the commotion is comin’ from.” Well, that’s because the sandwich shop is no longer located at 187 N. Park Ave. and is off to a fresh start as a food cart stationed next to the venue.
East Coast Super Subs had been closed for more than two years after an unfortunate building fire in January 2020. Owner Keith McNesby, who has been behind the wheel of the restaurant since 1998, had hoped to reopen the restaurant sooner but is thrilled to be serving his sandwiches once again.
“I’m grateful to be back,” he said, noting that a few of East Coast Super Subs’ classics are back, too, like the Bully, Jim McKenna, and the Italian Stallion.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
