I went to a Subway in Columbus, Ohio during a cross country drive. My friend and I still bring that place up ten years later. The reason we remember it is because the dude working there made loving perfect sandwiches. We got back to the hotel room and opened our sandwiches, and both just stopped and said "holy poo poo". They looked exactly like a promotional picture, even after being wrapped up. Driving all day, tired, lovely hotel, but suddenly  God bless you, sandwich angel.

I used to get Subway on the way home from work sometimes, and it wasn't terrible, but that stopped once a Potbelly moved into the neighborhood. The Subway wasn't terrible, but Potbelly is sooo much better in every way.

PYF Subway sandwich experience When I was in high school I would always get a veggie sub because it was significantly cheaper than anything else on the menu. Well, that's my Subway story, thanks for listening.

Toasting prevents sogginess, which is disgusting. Wet bread for some reason really bothers and disgusts me. I can't think of anything worse. I'd rather eat mildewy bread.

It turns out cheap cold cuts under wilted vegetables aren't good even if you pay a serf $5 to assemble it in a foot long bread tube. Thank god everyone came together to blow that wide open.

cyberia posted:PYF Subway sandwich experience I have one! It's my friend's, not mine, but whatever. The Subway in our neighborhood is open twenty four hours, so it always fills up after bars let out. My friend went there absolutely shitfaced one night, and somehow convinced them to sell him a soup bowl filled with their awful seafood salad. Another friend, who was with him, was in the bathroom, and he decided to stand in the corner waiting for her. I guess she was taking a while, and he got hungry. So he turned around to face the wall, and started eating the mayonnaisey goop with his bare hands, thinking no one would notice. He was almost done when he felt a tap on his shoulder, and turned around to see the somewhat terrified manager timidly offering him a spoon. Our other friend then emerged from the bathroom, apologized, and dragged him out.

Also the toasting thing was purely and baldly because they got spooked by Quiznos. QUICK I NEED FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND OF YOUR FINEST CHEAPEST INSTANT TOASTER OVENS, YES THE NOISY ONES POWERED BY WARSAW PACT ERA FISSION IS FINE I'm still kind of pissed that it worked

They looked exactly like a promotional picture, even after being wrapped up. At the Subway near my house there is this methy Kid Rock looking dude who has been working there for at least 15 years. He's denied being made a manager or anything else because he's THAT GOOD AT MAKING SUBWAY SANDWICHES. The man is a loving machine, and he's worked there long enough that you can go in and describe ancient promotional subs from years past and he'll make them for you, he also knows all the weird sauce and sandwich combos, like sweet onion and spicy southwest sauce on the Italian, tastes amazing.

What I really miss are the days when Subway sliced the roll along the top and pulled out a thin wedge of bread. "Mayonnaise, mustard, cheese?" they would ask. Thus allowing your choice of condiments to soak into the bread directly, instead of being applied at the end on top of the meat so it just squirts out everywhere. One day they decided THAT WASN'T UNIMAGINATIVE ENOUGH and moved everything around, and it's never been the same since (but then again they weren't in every third gas station back then either) Data Graham has a new favorite as of 23:37 on Oct 20, 2015 |

You'll be happy to hear that I bought a chicken bacon ranch sub at Blimpies last week at the airport and kept it for the entire two hour flight and one hour trip back home and then ate it some five hours after I originally purchased it. A little soggy, but delicious. (it was a business trip, so if I bought food at the airport it was free to me and I wasn't hungry at the time but knew I would be later)

I used to work at an Arby's where we sold beef dips and I couldn't handle seeing people eat it. I have an extreme gag-inducing aversion to wet bread. French toast is fine because it's no longer bread by the time it's ready.

I've actually pretty rarely gone to Subway. I may have eaten there less than a dozen times in my lifetime, mostly because if I'm getting fast food it's almost always a drive-thru or an online order to a place like Panera or Chipotle. Usually if I had time to actually walk into a sandwich shop and eat, I had time to go somewhere better. The one exception was the Orlando Science Center, which had no food options except a Subway.

Subway always seems to me to have a slightly odd smell to it. The shop itself, I mean, not the sandwiches. Also, I hate having to tell them how to make the sandwich. If I wanted to design my own sandwich I'd make it myself, at home, for half the cost.zedprime posted:I like where this is going but I think it needs some more explicit logical rules or flow charting for advanced composites to properly satisfy the inner sperg. Like there's a bit of non-specificity around the cake sandwich, otherwise known in the more vulgar form of "hotdog". Or cake stew, aka jambalaya. I'm not familiar with jambalaya, but from a Google image search it seems pretty clearly to be a stew.  A sandwich is food on or in bread. Croutons are bread in food, therefore a salad with croutons is a stew and not a sandwich. Tree Goat posted:It also breaks down when we consider the cherpumple (pumpkin pie inside of a spice cake topped by apple pie inside yellowcake, and further topped a cherry pie inside white cake) This isn't even difficult, guys.

If I wanted to design my own sandwich I'd make it myself, at home, for half the cost. In my home salad tossing experience, salads with croutons very quickly become salad on croutons. Why is that not a sandwich? Is it because it is a stew of little miniature sandwiches? How do you decide the overriding scale in that example, or the cherpumple? Are we not one big stew (or cake) of Planet Earth? Jambalaya's original example was how to handle cake (sausage) in a stew, but it brings up another issue with chimeras: jambalaya can be served fluid as if a stew, or freestanding, massive, and holding together as if a cake. Is it then necessary to specify if I specifically mean the stew jamba, or the cake jamba? Are there cutoffs in physical properties for when a stew becomes a cake? I feel its important we get to the bottom of this so I know the correct way to make sure any elemental food stuffs do not touch each other on the plate

Are you not losing specificity by leaving out the elemental composition? How is a forest not just a bunch of trees? What is the minimum number of trees needed to make a forest? If each tree can be considered on its own and is merely a tree and not a forest, how is any number of trees a forest? It's just trees, there's no such thing as a forest.

Sounds like a rationalization for "I know it when I see it." This will not do. We need precise categories for our food, or how will we know whether we're eating a cake or a stew? Or, God forbid, a sandwich?

zedprime posted:I feel its important we get to the bottom of this so I know the correct way to make sure any elemental food stuffs do not touch each other on the plate Your last memory is headlights in your eyes. Not your fault, and you don't know this right now, but it was a drunk teenager driving home after a house party. She apologized, mascara running down her cheeks, and the judge took pity on her. A human life in exchange for thirty days in jail and a year's suspension of her driver's license. You're not alive anymore. You've gone somewhere else. The ethereal plane is unlike anything you imagined in your living, human life. Your primitive brain struggles to comprehend the forms around you. It's not that you're unwelcome, but you definitely feel out-of-place in this non-corporeal dimension. A form draws near you. Memories stir from your living life--scents of movie theaters, barbecues, tastes of late-night Netflix binges. "You're..." You feel it smile. A benevolent presence. As if it's been your friend for eternity. "Yes, you know me well, friend. I was all around you during your human life." If you had a human body, it would gasp. "You're...corn?" "Yes, my friend. And before you return to the human realm, I'm going to show you why I cannot be allowed to contact any other food items on a plate"
