Subway is One of the worst fast food franchises I've come across while working at coke,

The yeast in the air forms into black mould in the machines and they hardly ever clean it, even the drink machines. So gross, can't eat it myself.

Also, Zambrero sucks. Thanks.

I'll never understand the reddit nerd obsession with it given the garbage that Americans call bacon.

I always feel like Zambrero is like the burrito version of subway every time I've been to one.

People that like the idea of other people (read: minorities and/or women) making them a sandwich.




I've also never seen a subway that isn't completely staffed by white teenage to 30s men/chill stoner guys so it must be a SEQ region thing. Also women of the same age range mainly at McD, KFC, HJ and minorities mainly at pizza places and cafes (where they exploit them pay by cash more I suspect).

Every subway I've been into in western sydney and the mountains is run by a group of indian people who seem to do a pretty good job of things. The one closest to work consistently has a queue of massive islanders taking the "healthy" option but then loading their toasted sub with gently caress all veg then 3 different sauces. If I go I keep it to turkey and ham with all of the salady things and a sauce. I end up back outside before them every single time.

The next town over has a real proper sub shop. I think it was the first in Australia. Captain Nemos. Fantastic every time. Bread is from a local bakery and if you get there just after lunch they might actually have run out so stiff poo poo. Might go there tomorrow or Friday now that I think of it. They are VERY good.

There's a good sub place in Kelvin Grove called Danny Boy's. Can highly recommend the Italian stallion and the beef brisket. The best thing on the menu was broccoli cheddar soup though.

Yeah nemos is sick. if I'm driving up to Rockhampton I usually stop in there before I see my family. my ex still raves about it. all the subs are sick but I have a soft spot for sunshine sub (chicken loaf, ham, lettuce, onion, tomato, mayo and pineapple) and the torpedo (savoury mince, lettuce, onion, tomato, mayo and toasted).

Also lol at not mentioning you live adjacent to Rockhampton you coward

if you're ever in Rockhampton go to The Pie Guru for top notch pie/smokey. they are only eclipsed by Mount Morgan Hot Bread in the pie game.

I will find my tasting notes from when I visited in march and post them

I was barely not lazy enough to pull the camera out to get in on the eclipse thing. I can't post to FB due to a month ban so here's a screenshot of a raw import into Lightroom. Too lazy to actually process anything.

Subway's something that can only either be good and well-run, or a food poisoning dispenser in need of a health inspector and a flamethower.

The ones around Melbourne are pretty great, the one that used to be near where I live... fell into category B.

I haven’t had it in well over 5 years but I still think about it weekly. It’s legitimately the only part of Rockhampton that I miss. Holy gently caress they’re good sandwiches.

Edit: actually I also miss the 3 minute drive to work when I lived there too. That was dope

A stand-alone Subway is fine but if you’re in a food court avoid it. Its heavily dependent on location in a way other places aren’t.

Subway in a nice suburb is borderline good. Subway at a poo poo shopping centre is just asking for trouble.

Subways business model is to be to sell worthless subway franchises to anyone who comes along. They used to advertise that they had more locations than any other fast food place like thats a good thing.

The kid absolutely loves subway so I have to go there sometimes. The bread is stale and poo poo now but it's been on the slide ever since they stopped doing the v cut on the top of the bread. Bastards.

My son as just taken a shine to it too so it looks like it's increasingly in my future. The local one here seems fine and while we have an excellent deli and french bakery in town that I would far prefer, at least the parking at subway is better?

...iunno, I'm trying to find an upside. I might hit the deli for lunch today.

Agree on the V-cut though.

the pro move is to get it extra-toasted so the bread is more likely to be palatable

subway is great if you need to either not poo poo for 2 days or poo poo heaps for 1 day, depending on your personal gut biome.

RIP to Paradigm festival, which has an international lineup of DJs planned for a two-day event on the 5th and 6th. Those DJs have been in quarantine for a week now and no doubt were flown out for that at great expense to the organisers. They have contingency to move it to the 12th/13th but at this rate it's fantasy to think a large outdoor festival will occur that soon.

It sucks, not just because these organisers get dicked but because every other organiser will now look at that and go 'gently caress taking on that risk'.
