What do you like on your Subway sandwich?

[webny99]

I have been wary of Wegmans' subs.

Bad experience?

I have never had any issues with them, although I always order at the time. Never tried the pre-packaged ones.

Nah.  Just don't think it's as good a deal as could be had elsewhere.

Reeks of Panera:  Food packaged or presented as better than it is.

The large sub isn't priced too bad, but it is a classic Wegmans move to charge big bucks on all their Market Cafe, specialty, and pre-packaged items.

I'm rather partial to whipped cream, personally.

9-grain wheat, cold cut combo, provolone, olives, pickles, tomatoes, banana peppers, honey mustard, and salt and pepper.

Dammit, now I'm hungry.

I used to eat Subway every Monday, since there was one across the street from work, I was always hungry when I got off, and I wanted to go to the gym after. So I'd go to Subway and get an Italian herb & cheese with turkey, American cheese, lettuce, cucumber, and light mayo.

I think Subway was a lot better in the 90s.  I liked the way they cut into the top of their bread. And the pizza sub. The delicious pizza sub....

On my Subway sandwich?  Somebody else's hands ... and my money back in mine.

So I can go to a nearby Quizno's, Firehouse, Potbelly, Jersey Mike's, etc so I can get a sub that actually tastes good.

I wasn't aware Quizno's were still in business. I always liked them. Blimpie too.

This made me look up if Quizno's was even in business anymore; all of the standalone locations around here have closed down. Apparently the OU student union has one, but obviously going there would be too much trouble as a non-student.

I have to say, Firehouse is definitely a lot better than Subway, but Subway is just straight-up available in more places. So it's kind of like McDonalds–yeah, it's not gourmet, but if you're just wanting to eat and go it's a valid option. Also, Firehouse gives my wife indigestion so it's off the list unless I'm eating alone.

I like Erbert and Gerbert's the best of sub chains, but they're regional. Jersey Mike's > Jimmy John's > a week-old stale baguette with meat scraps > Subway.

All these mentions of Jimmy John's reminds me of a co-worker who loved both food and deals.  One day he was walking around telling everyone about how it was customer appreciation day and every sub was a dollar, and how he and some others were going to go there and eat lots of subs, and telling everyone who would listen that they should do the same.

The next day he was complaining about how bad the subs were and how little meat each sub had.

Is "Jimmy John's" an option?

If you buy both a Subway sandwich and a Jimmy John's sandwich, and put the Jimmy John's sandwich on (or in) the Subway sandwich, then sure.

We have a Jimmy Johns' here. I very seldom see a car there.
At Subway I order with only lettuce & tomatoes. I usually buy two footlongs, I eat one & save the other for later. They get really soggy if SW puts sauces on so I use my own sauces miracle whip I honey mustard. Damn now I'm hungry.

[interstatefan990]

Footlong Italian bread Steak & Cheese with mozzarella, lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, guac, a dash of mayo, and sweet onion sauce.

I have to admit though, every once in a while a sub from Jimmy John's is just better suited to my taste.

[webny99]

I'm taking the question to mean subs in general, not Subway sandwich specifically.

I'm pretty basic: typically roast beef or turkey/ham, provolone, lettuce, tomato, mayo, sub oil or vinegar, and maybe pickles or sweet peppers.

I'm not sure if Subway was better back then, or if other sub shops simply overtook them in quality and prevalence.

Glad I'm not the only one saddened by Quizno's rapidly disappearing.  My campus center had a Quizno's my freshman year, but the following summer they removed it and replaced it with some off-brand sandwich place called "Mondo's" (which I suspect was the campus dining service company's own creation) - let me tell you, it made Subway look gourmet in comparison.

Besides that, I think the only Quizno's I've been to are all transportation-related: BWI's Southwest concourse (since replaced by Chick-fil-A) and the PATP New Stanton Service Plaza come to mind.

I found a pretty interesting article on the collapse of Quizno's. 

It wasn't long ago that Quiznos was a pretty big deal. They were a little more upscale than Subway, and those toasted rolls were an absolute win no matter what was on them. But it turns out that toasting rolls isn't enough to keep them on the top of the food chain when it comes to fast food sub shops.

If you can't remember the last time you saw one, it's not your imagination. According to Restaurant Business, the 4,700 locations they had in 2007 had shrunk to less than 400 in a decade. That's a huge loss – about 90 percent of their stores – so how does that much loss even happen?

There's a Quiznos four miles from my house.

I agree that they're awesome, and I'm sad to see them go.  It's their franchise model that doomed them, as I understand things.

[kphoger]

(Around here, Quizno's seems to cater to the professional crowd.  The one that used to be downtown was open for lunch only, apparently catering to businessmen on lunch break.  The one that's still open not far from my house is right by the Textron/Hawker/Beechcraft factory.)

My favorite thing on a Subway sub would be a coupon for Jimmy John's.

Eating a coupon isn't any worse than eating what Subway puts on their bread.

Well played, sir!

Actually, though, I like what's on the bread just fine.  It's the bread itself I'm not crazy about.

I don't think Jimmy John likes me on his body.
