Subway owes me some cash...

Someone needs to help me get ahold of someone at Subway corporate, since I've purchased something like a hundred foot long subs over the years. Those biatches owe me like 8 foot longs, and I'm gonna kick Jared the next time I see him walking down the street.

So that's how Jared did it....

 

Maybe it was cold when they took the picture.
You know, shrinkage.....

 

A new ad campaign slogan: "Buy 12 get 1 free"...

 

Haha, wow...just wow. I particularly like the "four out of seven...measured only 11 or 11.5 inches." What a scandal!

 

I hate Subway. My girlfriend loves it because all she gets is lettuce and **** on it. But gimme a choice of Subway or Quiznos and I take Quiznos 10 times out of 10.

Of course if I want a really good cold cut sandwich, I go to a deli in Bordentown and get these monstrous hoagies

This isn't what I get (I'm an American Hoagie guy) but to give you an idea of this monster, this is half of a half



And it's not a 5 dollar footlong, but a half feeds 2 people with a healthy appetite (or one really hungry fatty like me) and you can get the American for 6.19. and the most expensive half is 10 bucks for either their cheesesteak or their Soppressata and fresh mozz sandwich.

That's what I call a delicious bargain.

 

People get worked up over some crazy crap. It's not like you are being shorted on the meat or cheese, because each sub always gets the same number of slices, and for the ones that aren't sliced (e.g. tuna, steak) they have a scoop size that they use to measure how much goes on the sandwich. So, maybe people are missing out on 20 calories worth of bread and lettuce occasionally.


Anyway I'm not a huge Subway guy, although my wife goes there somewhat regularly. I prefer getting my sandwiches from other local places, or making my own.

 

Subway is a menace. I wrote a whole thread on the subject.

 

It's just like McDonald's selling you on their "Quarter Pounder", it's a 1/4 pound prior to cooking so you're getting less on the finished product. Subway sells you on a footlong sub and you get an 11" sub. But yeah, Subway sucks.

Edit: Btw, the sub pictured above looks damn delicious...

 

The sub pictured does look quite nice. I have never been a fan of raw onions on a sandwich, but thats just me.

 

Red onions are way better when going the raw option.

 

Every steak or burger ever sold is advertised by the weight of the meat prior to cooking. It is standard practice and always has been.

 

I'd kill for a good local sandwich place. Local sandwich options for me are Subway, or some kind of hot sandwich at a diner, gravy soaked.....

Maybe that should be my business idea.....

 

I will say that the occassional gravy soaked sandwich is just what the doctor ordered.

 

Gravy is a beverage.

Mmmm.....

 

what do you expect when you let an artist make your food

 

I was a quiznos fan at one point...but its like $10 for a footlong, same for cheesesteaks from "Jerry's" restuarants

Its crazy how many people are posting on their facebook page haha. Someone made a good point that the bread is most likely the same weight and depending on how it is stretched prior to baking will make a difference in its width... so you could get a longer roll that is narrower and a shorter one that is wider

 

Just don't ask for ketchup, they'll kill you for that kind of disrespect.

 

I don't think there are enough women members on this forum to have that a legitimate conversation over narrower/longer vs wider/shorter

 

Only problem is it isn't a sub, it's a hoagie

 

Doin' it all wrong. Here's how to do it. . From here.

*Edit: That's a Montreal-style Smoked meat sandwich - not a sub.

Now that looks like a samich!

It could use a touch of onion and maybe some peppers. Other than that it looks just right.

 

Cr*p, done it to myself with the picture above.



MC

 

Mmmmm open faced club sandwich

 

Lucky for me I just got done with a large helping of some thai stir fried noodles with peanut sauce, beef and peppers!

I'm not going to be hungry for a while.

 

I go to Jason's Deli when I want a real sandwich...

 

How many are needed for a legitimate conversation?

Nope. It's a grinder!

 

Now that looks awesome! Wish that were near me.

 

Better watch where you say that, in certain parts of New Jersey thems fightin words.

 

Nope, its a poboy!

 

I would VERY MUCH like to try some Estrella's pastrami. There is an ongoing East coast/West coast battle here in the US over Langers in LA vs Katz's in NYC. I have tried each of those, and I have my opinions, but I'd sure love to try the Estrella's.

 

Oh snap! was just reading through this thread and was going to post the same link! My wife attends McGill as a grad student and she live a few blocks away! I go there every time I vist her up there!

 

Subway is bad - unless that's the only option. I still miss the days when I lived in Cleveland and could get one of there beauties at Slyman's!

 

subway should keep all subs $5 yearround

 

Russell's Short Stop for po-boys. Pot Belly will make a pretty good one if you order it right.

 

Wow.

 

Calling Montreal Smoked Meat as "Pastrami" is like calling a Baron Philippe de Rotschild red a "pretty good wine".

Actually the process for Mtl Smoked meat is quite different than pastrami. Both are very tasty, I admit.

If you want the best, go to Schwartz's in Montreal. Google it.

Pastrami is brined, Montreal isn't. Montreal is just a well seasoned smoked brosket.

 

The rye bread in that picture doesnt seem to have absorbed any pastrami grease or even steam. I am dubious

 

my favorites are the chicken and bacon ranch(chicken, cheddar, tomato, onion, jalapenos, ranch and chipolte) and the buffallo chicken (chicken, pepper jack, tomato, onion, jalepeno, ranch,buffalo sauce)
