When you must order a sandwich…
Make your own damn sandwich.
Why don’t you have dijon in the fridge? Why don’t you have a tomato or avocado at the ready? Every sub chain is using crappy mass-produced cold cuts just as you probably would. It’s waaaaaaaay cheaper to do it yourself.
But you’ll still find yourself in a sub shop someday, I’m sure. If you find yourself in Jimmy John’s, the bread is delicious. Too delicious for me, because I’m tempted to order that fluffy stuff every time, even though I know I probably shouldn’t. Bah. At least they offer the “unwich”, which is any given sandwich in a lettuce wrap.
I’m a huge fan of the Beach Club, but have been known to get the Bootleggers Club. PROTEIN.
Jimmy Johns may have the best subs, but Jersey Mike’s isn’t all that far behind, especially if one is in the mood to eat something messy. Moreover, they offer their sandwiches in “tub” form, which basically means putting the sub ingredients into a bowl of lettuce rather than on bread, with an option for oil and vinegar dressing. I approve.
Firehouse Subs has lower-calorie sandwiches, but they’re lower-calorie mainly because they’re smaller. Whatever. Try asking for no cheese. The steaming process does something to the bread that’s — I don’t know — tantalizing? Is that the word? Perhaps.
Only eat from Subway if it’s the only way to get your friends to join you for lunch, or if there’s no other legitimate eatery within 20 miles.
Come on. That’s not the sandwich of a company trying to impress us with presentation.
