For me, is the Subway Seafood Sensation™

>>11127322
Subway is the poorest sandwich I can find within 10 kilometers of my house. Literally any baker makes a better sandwich and usually cheaper as well with much higher grade ingredients. I'm guessing you're an American and that the overall poor quality in the US has something to do with it.

>>11127395
Non-franchise food is fucking disgusting. I like knowing what I'm going to get, not gambling with some mom and pops amateur hour bullshit.

>>11127395
It's not all over the US that people have this opinion. Most of us, especially on the East coast, have much better options when it comes to sandwiches. Subway is flyover staple.

>>11127405
What's the point of guaranteed mediocrity? Wouldn't you at least want the chance that it doesn't suck?

used to love subway before I worked there and started paying attention to the food and ingredients
subway is basically playdough

>>11127449
I'm from New Jersey though (Northern NJ, not poor NJ). And Subway is easily superior to the other sandwich options.

>>11127395
>usually cheaper with higher grade ingredients
I don't go to subway for higher grade ingredients. I go for food. Altogether, a "footlong" with all the ingredients I want won't cost me more than $9.50. A dickass white boy 7~8inch with day old bread costs over $10

A lot of butthurt in this thread.

>>11127462
It's good, not mediocre. Mom and pops shops are mediocre at best and more often outright bad because they're just random nobodies trying to make food without proper franchise guidelines.

>>11127472
>Northern NJ

There's your problem. South Jersey may be poorer, but they have better food. You're basically NYC runoff that the world forgot about.

>>11127322
you corporate shill. make a soup for god's sake

>>11127322
Subway sucks butt you gay faggot. Go to Whichwich or Firehouse when you stop being a homosexual

>>11127322
Nice try guy

>>11128621
>Which Wich
>Firehouse Subs
I really wanted to like both of those places since they're both on Uber Eats and Subway isn't. But they're absolute garbage. Honestly I don't believe you've actually eaten there or else you would know that too.

The grocery store 2 blocks from my house sells better subs at half the price. Fast food has a stupid tax.

>>11127322
jersey mikes shits all over subway

>>11128734
The real tax is lower income people like yourself were tricked into thinking a few dollars difference on a meal expense is what you should be focusing on with your money. If you're anywhere close to being significantly impacted financially with a couple dollars a day more or less on food then you have a much deeper preexisting problem of earning way too little. It's the same thing with the coupon and sales deal rackets. You're being trained to focus on these tiniest of pittances so you'll ignore all the people around you making several times more than your income.

Jimmy Johns
Jersey Mikes
Cousin's
Literally any grocery store with a deli
Firehouse

All better by a long shot.

Fuck, in Australia we don't even have the option of going to other sandwich shops. Still don't eat at Subway though.

>>11127322
is this really what am*rican's think?

>>11127322

do they wash their hands enuf?

make ur own; put it in a lil cooler bag

>>11127322
Imagine being so much of a faggot that you make this thread

>>11128847
difficult and disquieting to imagine

>>11128797
Firehouse is not good at all, where are you people coming from with this? It's one of the worst sandwich places I could come up with. Were you just guilted into liking them because of their association with firemen?

>>11127322
enjoy your 1 week old lettuce bro

>>11128877
I never get vegetables on my sub, maybe that's what you're all doing wrong. Get the Italian BMT or cold cut with double meat, provolone, and southwest chipotle sauce.

>>11128929
enjoy your 1 week old improperly stored slimy mold festering parasitic inducing meat bro

>>11127395
>Sandwiches
>Outside of the US

That's hilarious. The us is the only place on earth with good sandwiches you fucking idiot.

>>11127449
The entire us has delis, you fucking idiot. NYC has more Subways than my entire city.

>>11127322
>superior in every way

>>11128867
I agree, firehouse is garbage. Quiznos, firehouse, and now jersey mikes are all in the same spot in my town. It's like that spot is doomed forever with terrible sandwich shops that keep going bankrupt

>>11128971
Fuck you, it's delicious

Wham, just gave you a decent subway sub. It certainly wont be the highlight of your day, but it makes you not hungry

>>11127322
I prefer Quiznos

*slams beer on table* THUNDERCLOUD SUBS

>>11128814
Get a pork roll at the Viet bakery, you racist.

>>11130004

>>11130004
>All those trash vegetables
You fucked up. Vegetables on sandwiches are only ever there either as stupid decorations or else to fill space because you're too poor to fill it with meat. If you really want to get vegetable nutrition in you can just drink an occasional V8. There's no reason to ruin a perfectly good sandwich with that bullshit.

>>11130009
Quiznos is OK. It's certainly much better than those retarded taste having anons in this thread who advocated for Which Wich and Firehouse Subs.

>>11127395
This. Their "footlong" is the shortest measured at 9 inches, meat is folded thin, chicken breasts are dry, tomatoes are always either green or mushy, vegetables are "fresh" out of cans. It's usually the most expensive of them all, too. Baffles my mind why people go there.

Charley's = Firehouse > Jersey Mikes = Jimmy Johns = Which Wich > Schlotzsky's = Quizno's = Togo's > anything else > Subway

>>11130830
for me it's

Publix > Firehouse = Jimmy Johns = Jersey Mikes

All 3 have their own strengths. Firehouse is the best quality but most expensive. Jersey Mikes is lower quality but gives you a lot of sandwhich. Jimmy Johns is a balanced between the two. Publix deli beats them though. Fuck I miss Quiznos.

>>11127322
It litterally is the worst bread I've ever had.

>all the bait being taken ITT

>>11130830
>chicken breasts
>vegetables
You're asking for retarded sandwich ingredients, that's your real problem. Sandwiches should have ingredients like ham, turkey, salami, bologna, pepperoni, and cheese. Restaurants in general get chicken meat wrong more often than not, for whatever reason it seems to be something you could fuck up and make all stringy and difficult to chew, in contrast with the ingredients I listed out just now which you can't go wrong with.

>>11130830
Subway is 11 inches, not 9.

>>11130901
Obviously I don't order that any more, but when they have it advertise it on every commercial, I had to try it once.

>>11130922
I personally measured it out of my tape ruler to see. it's 9 inches.

>>11130990
When did you measure it? They had a lawsuit about this a while back, so that might not be a problem anymore:
www.eater.com/platform/amp/2015/10/20/9574367/subway-will-measure-bread-footlong-sandwich-lawsuit
It's going to probably depend on hoe good each of the specific locations are at following company standards though.

>>11127322
Subway is pleb-tier trash. It tastes acidic and isn't properly filling.

Better off risking a few local mom/pop shops and finding one that tastes good than eating that shit day in and out.

>>11130990
Then you measured it wrong
This isn't dick measuring where you exaggerate

>>11131009
>putting a filthy tape measurer on a sandwich you're about to eat
For what purpose?

Non-American here.

Publix > Potbelly > Firehouse > the rest

>>11127322
Jeez, the last time I was in Jersey there were a lot of mom and pop Italian sandwich shops that were far superior to the mass produced crap of Subway.

>>11131009
He probably measured fine but did so years ago at some location where they weren't following policy correctly.

>>11131020
Firehouse is trash, I'm amazed at how many people here are advocating for Firehouse when it's so blatantly awful.

Seriously can't think of a place that's worse than Subway...

>>11127322
said no one ever

>>11127322
Wawa or Sheetz is better if in PA

>>11132553
This. I don't know how Subway even survives here. I don't think I've ever seen a single person walk into one.

>>11127322
Checked, but you still couldn’t be more wrong. I’ve never had a sandwich from Subway worth a fuck, but mostly because the delis around here have a good brand for cold cuts and subway meat tastes like fucking flavored water by comparison. Cheese is pretty low quality too.

>>11132553
Wawa is a disgrace these days
