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.

Also used to have a Jimmy John's near my workplace.  Their subs were OK (better than Subway, not quite as good as the ones mentioned above), but I wasn't fond of how the roll always seemed chilled, as if they took it out of the fridge right before making my sub.  They've since moved out; a Charley's Philly Steaks is now there.

No more Quizno's left that are close enough to go to.  I rotate among the others, but I currently prefer Potbelly and Firehouse - for their toasted options and for having Coca-Cola Freestyle machines.

Odd quirk of mine–sub shops are the only place that I don't avail myself of the combo meal, so no chips and a drink. Most of the time I take it home and get a drink from the fridge, or, if I am eating out, will drink water. I guess most subs are filling enough that I don't find the need to have a side with them.

Or could it just be that fries > potato chips?

Scott5114

Well, there's that too. Also it's kind of weird to be offered the same potato chips in a bag that I can get at the grocery store as a side item. I can probably get a bag of Lay's at the store for cheaper than Subway would sell it to me for, anyway.

Yep! Walmart will sell you 2 individual bags of Lays products for 98 cents.

You can also get a hoagie and soda in the store too for cheaper as well.

Grocery-store hoagies are usually actually worse than Subway. I eat them, but I'd rather have a hot, freshly-assembled one from Subway than one that's been sitting in a clamshell in Walmart for a day or two.

Yeah, that's the one thing I never "got" about Subway.  I'd rather have a foot-long sandwich and no sides, than a six-inch sandwich and a tiny bag of the same chips I can get anywhere.

Firehouse is fine, but I prefer Jersey Mike's.

Never tried them. Don't have any here.

I'm not a fan of Subway, or cold-cut sub sandwiches from restaurants in general. I don't like veggies or dressings; I'm a meat and cheese guy. (It's why I prefer Sheetz to Wawa, since Sheetz has a much more varied menu). I can eat a ham or turkey sandwich at home anytime.

I will make an exception for the meatball sub, but they're too messy to try to eat on the road. So I avoid sub places for the most part.

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

That binds me up, I'm on the john for an hour if I eat a coupon.

It's all that fiber .

I ate one while traveling over the Straits of Mackinac.

Fortunately, it was a hitchhiking trip, so I was the passenger!

Yeah for chain it's probably the best one I would think it's better than Jimmy John's I think too. Jimmy John's is okay but if there's a Jersey Mike's nearby I'll go to Jersey Mike's first.

DiBella's Subs which is originally out of Rochester, New York is pretty good too.

I've not been impressed with Jimmy John's.  The last time I ate at one was a little bit of meat, a little cheese, lots of rabbit food.  Firehouse is the best I've found in my area.

Subway has taken a sharp turn away from presenting itself as the health food oasis that they used to advertise as their image; now they would love to load up your sandwich with extra meat and melty, gooey cheese.

Any reminder of Jared is probably good to avoid.

I think that shift started even before his, er, "departure" - IIRC, the original $5 footlong campaign was the beginning of it.

Meh; Subway certainly hasn't been the same since its heyday in the 90s and 2000s. But it was the Jared scandal that completely pushed me over the edge.
