The term "Grinder" can be traced back to the East Coast, where during World War I, Italian immigrants set up sandwich shops close to the shipyards.  Their freshly baked Italian rolls were filled with generous amounts of meat and cheeses, and were then baked and garsihed with lettuce and tomato.  These super sized sandwiches were a favorite of the hard working men who ground off rivets on metal warships.  The friendly shop owner referred to these men as grinders, and the ever-popular sandwich also came to be known as a grinder.
