I remember the great battle of $5 footlong against Quizno’s $4 Torpedo.

Those small tube shaped sandwich(?) goes smoothly into the mouth without stretching it and much more filling than footlong.

I miss these torpedo alot and wish to know if such things is sold elsewhere. I might make a new thread if no one have any clues.

Jimmy John's has a small sub like that I think.

I really like it too. since the bread is thinner, it's got a higher crust:insides ratio

also butter+++

Woah butter? I don't think I've ever seen butter used on almost anything fast food related.

Besides Culver's of course. :smug:

yeah, it's butter spread on the bread, salami, capicola, and provolone. you don't get toppings cause it's only $5 (and meant to be like a French sandwich), but also pretty large.

Quiznos does a roast beef sandwich with au jus that owned. Don't think it was buttered tho.

I like how Subway used to do this completely wild thing where they cut a trough out of the bread to stack all the ingredients in. It looked super loving weird but it held everything together way better. Then in the mid nineties they decided it wasn't visually appealing enough and got rid of it. Bring it back!

I don't hate subway and the one near my work has two of the fastest sandwich artistes I have ever seen.

The real problem with subway is subway customers who start ordering before they've made up their goddamned mind and can't decide if they want loving olives or not and are trying to order 3 different sandwiches all at the same time :commissar: 1 trip down the line = 1 sandwich go get back in line for those other 2 or something, and get off your damned phone

You can ask for the u-gouge cut and the artist will perform it for you if they know that tune. There used to be stickers on the sneeze guards that made this all clear

I used to like this until the local quiznos served me a sub with the beef still frozen inside. That location is long gone now for some reason...

That subway has a long and torrid history as a case study for local government.

I would like to know more.

That town seems slightly... off. We were in an outfitters, renting boots for The Narrows, the next day. There was a mature woman sort of in charge, and maybe this 14 year old boy grabbing us the shoes and stuff. When we were about done, she was, like, asking his name and stuff, and which group was he with? It had a faintly religious feel to it. I dunno.

Do Mormon children go to resort towns en masse, for seasonal work?

I went to subway sometimes during that period and all the time people asked them to cut it the old way.

I don't understand their old cut at all. around here it was always just the thinnest strip of top bread, like an inch wide. so the ingredients practically just laid on top of the bread. it was dumb as hell lol

I didn't know I could get a sub that expensive either.



I mean, I live in NYC, and I donate to my change to No Kid Hungry, so both of those are expense factors.

Sometimes I go into a subway and ask for a five dollar footlong, just to watch the teens and/or middle aged indian aunties roll their eyes at me and explain to my stupid rear end that that promotion hasn't existed for years.

Right now you can get a $6 foot long by getting two 6" chicken breast sandwiches for $2.99 each.

The Subway in the Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio sells subs starting at about $8. Read the fine print.... those are 6" subs.

$16 for a Cold Cut Combo at Cedar Point.

I'd never pay that much for Subway. I have a hard time paying $8 for a foot long.

Subway seems to be far cheaper than any other sandwich place though. It'll always be over $10.

you get what you pay for :shrug:

plus I don't think most places have subs that are only 6 inches long? Cousins is 7.5, I think Jimmy John's is 8. Potbelly's might be 6 inches, but they have a bigger size (not double) too. I'm not sure about Firehouse or Quizno's because I've never been to them

Where can you possibly live that someone can't make a better sandwich than this dump? Are there no delis? Are there no workhouses?

It's all more expensive and a whole lot of places don't have sandwich shops. Here it's mostly sit down restaurants. The only take out you'll find is Chinese or maybe a rare burrito place.

I do have a nice Italian deli nearby but I haven't been in there in maybe 10 years. I should check it out. I always hated the smell of that place though and tons of people love it. It smells like sausage went bad or something.

you have a few good delis down there, definitely try some of them!

I do understand the convenience and comfort of getting the same crap over and over again, though. you can do ittttt

I must be lucky (and I'm not in any aspect of life except for sandwiches I guess), everywhere I've lived has had at least a couple good or great delis close by. I've had subway maybe half a dozen times and it's a joke.I'm not saying it's inedible but drat it's sad if you don't have a place to get a better grinder around.

People who try to pretend they're superior make it so much harder for those of us who really are. Philistines!
I worked at a subway for a few hours a week this summer, just putting their huge Sysco order away since the teens couldn't be bothered and the aunties mostly couldn't lift their arms very high. Everything in that place came from Sysco which I guess I should have expected but didn't.

The smell of mouldering lettuce from the cooler still haunts me. that stuff got delivered in vacuum bags or something but it still smelled, somehow. Tomatoes were pretty awful, like moldy and full of fruit flies at the point of delivery awful. Don't get the tomatoes on your lovely sandwich imo. Other stuff was generally ok though.

cool job actually, they paid me like $30 an hour cash because the aunties managing it figured out the owner didn't give a crap and wanted to spend as much of his money as possible :shobon:

I wonder if I could open my own sandwich shop and order everything from Sysco that they sell to Subway. I mean, I'd never want to but I wonder if it'd be possible. I bet some of it is exclusive though. I haven't seen those chicken breast.... things... anywhere else before.
