Which is really perplexing, since it's literally the worst sandwich restaurant I've ever been to. I'd sooner eat at loving Blimpies.

In my opinion, there is literally never an excuse for eating at Subway. If you want a sub, more than likely there's a better sub place near you, and if not, well sandwiches are not that hard to learn to make.

I think it's fun to challenge yourself into finding better places to eat. My job gives me a daily budget that's more than generous, so I have no excuse to eat junk while I'm travelling. Yet, here I am 30 pounds heavier than I was six months ago. Granted, I've also been going through a separation, which doesn't help.

Subway is useless when you have alternatives. I usually end up travelling to parts of Florida for my job, so there's always a Publix I can order a real sub from. They'll even make anything you request if it's in the deli. The one near my apartment usually keeps a chipotle gouda handy.

You should have the same mentality on film and food. If you have better options, why settle for mediocrity?

Again their chicken is more soy then actual chicken.

We have Mr. Sub up here and Quiznos if you need a sandwich that badly.

Subway is dire. I gently caress with Taco Bell though.

Also, greasy American-style Chinese food is a Massachusetts specialty, I was surprised to find. When I went to the midwest, the Chinese food place everyone praised as "the good one" was mall-tier fare at restaurant prices. My brother lives in NYC now and he always says that the one kind of cuisine you can't find there is "Chinese" food. My friend in LA says the same. My dad brought home a bunch last night as a belated birthday treat for me but I'd already transitioned out of the birthday eat-everything festival season and into penitent fasting. A real tragedy.

Yeah it's hard as hell to find good chinese food in the midwest. It's either disgusting buffets (gently caress chinese buffets), mushy take out garbage, or overpriced sit-down mushy garbage.

In KC, can't complain. There are at least two excellent Thai restaurants near me (Hot Basil on 119th and Metcalf being the best, for anyone in the area), though it's always pretty pricey. There's also a pretty good supply of great Indian (Ruchi on Antioch and College is the poo poo). Indian food is the only time I don't mind buffets.

Dominos pizza is actually pretty good in Iceland. There are a lot of better places but Dominos is the best chain place. I hear it's abysmal in America. Like sub-frozen supermarket pizza level.

There's nothing remarkable or fun to do, and it's the kind of city where no matter where you are you're never more than a quarter mile from a place where you'll get shot just for stepping foot in. The arch is kinda cool, but it's definitely not worth visiting just to see it.

I went to a seafood buffet at a casino once. All this amazing fresh seafood like multiple kinds of crab legs, shrimp, crawfish, fish filets, scallops, etc.

They had a section with pizza, spaghetti, and fried chicken.

People were piling on the latter.

Like I think the one I work at is one of the better ones because the managers and store owner are there constantly to crack the whip on us, but I work the day shift and Snak's post about the night shift definitely resonates.

But I've been to other stores and they gently caress up the coffee and food all the time. So on one hand I hate the rude as gently caress customers who treat us like poo poo but also I guess it's deserved because the employees usually don't care.

I've been there way too long (the plan was to work there long enough to pay off my student loans but they've been paid off for a year now :shepicide:)

I was going to joke about them taking hot dogs way too far, but those honestly look delicious.


The place I'm staying at in Sterling, VA is near Ned Devine's Irish Pub, so I'm definitely going there.
