distress. You know what to do.

too

of good sandwiches, Num Pang is da bomb

My wife once ordered a BLT and it came without lettuce. When we mentioned it to the waitress she said "we ran out of lettuce". Um you think you may have mentioned that when ordering, I mean lettuce is kind of crucial part of a BLT sandwich. When I mentioned this to her, she looked at me with a blank stare obviously it not sinking in.

baby, neanderthal, sasquatch, gorilla fuckheads. H8!!!

there some sandwich places that slice chicken breast (grilled or cutlet) for a sandwich instead of just putting on the whole breast? Why would anyone prefer pieces of chicken on their sandwich instead of the nice full moist breast?

WTF? Now it's four different creatures? A baby...a neanderthal...a Sasquatch...and a gorilla fuckhead (what the hell is that...is it like a BBI frequenting gorilla?).

Probably to keep their food cost down by using less chicken.

so the gorillas are from here?


Oh, nevermind, NeandertHal

Them to put less meat on the sandwich yet still make it look thick

? ehhh thats shakey. would never go to a place that does that. Tho chopping up a cutlet - def OK for a wrap.

Langer's, Los Angeles

Itaian deli, or fresh mozz in Jersey and have neither one be about Fiore's is a shame

Sorry, there is no finer pastrami sandwich than Katz'

Now that's a delicious sandvich.

They don't just ask you for lettuce and tomoato, but they ask if you want the works (you do).

thanks a lot, Stan.

isn't the choice Philippe's?

That's where I go!

always on a cols sammy for me but never on a hot. The smell at every Subway is the same: wet meat. Recently tried Jersy mikes subs: meh and surprisingly $.

makes Subway look like a real deli.

first, any sandwich from a good "Mom & Pop" deli, especially one on the East Coast, blows away any franchise sandwich shop.

Getting that out of the way, after eating at Jersey Mike's, I'll never go back to Subway unless I have no choice. The fresh bread and freshly cut cold cuts at Jersey Mike's taste infinitely better to me than Subway.

just horribly bad. Low quality meat sitting in bins all day. How can anyone eat that crap? I'd rather just get a burger and fries at McDonald's, atleast it's cooked.

100% agree, no comparison at all between the two

are from DiBella's.

butter on your cold cuts

for a few years to startup and manage their subshops. That contract ran out but I still stop at a Wegmans if I can when driving north (say in Williamsport). I say the quality is close to Jersey Mikes (in most stores, but I had a horrible sub last year in the Henrietta Wegies)

Is why in a place like Manhattan, any sentient person would patronize a Subway. I have yet to ever step foot in a non-horrid Subway.

Phillippe's is for french dip sammiches. I prefer Cole's though, because Phillippe's pre dips them for you.

how my son handles the extra crap... he tells them up front,,, And do not put any extra crap on it.... priceless expression on the server... except one lady said quite loud And no crap on your sandwich... gotcha

On a meatball sub. I didn't realize it until I got back to the office and bit in and thought the meat was rancid or the sauce turned on my first taste. It was a local joint that was suggested by everyone when I was in that area for business. Apparently the place is known for their pickles, which they seem to think belong on everything. When asked, I pretended it was fine, but a lesson was learned that day - never ask for pizza or deli suggestions if you're not in the Northeast. Bite the bullet, buy mediocre chain food and move on.

wrong, whole in the wall places are what make this country great, and travel within it an adventure. i quote clark w. griswold - "if everything were just like home rus, there'd be no reason to ever leave it."

and their roast beef is actually left with some red, and the cheesesteaks are pretty damn good.

yeah its based on the same thing from dibellas... but its really all about the sesame seed bread with both of those subs.

If you want the truth - The Ritz at RIT made the best RB sub anywhere in rochester. it wasnt a big sandwich, but the roll was fresh and the beef was perfect. LTO, mayo, s+p, provy, banana peppers and pickles. dash of oil and vin.

they also had spicy honey wings called Tiger wings. the bomb..... The Forest here in Richmond has a sauce that is damn close. so fucking good and crispy.

FTW

With tomato and lettuce because only racists hate tomato and lettuce on a sango.

they opened a jersey mike's near me in Mass. I have literally never seen a business close so quickly in my life. it was open less then 6 months before becoming a quizno's. it's now a brazilian deli or something.

there are too many local sub shops for these chain places to break in. We have a Subway, but it's not crowded.

Actually, if Publix is in your area, that's the go to place for a sub!

their insistence on serving things "Fully Involved" drives me nuts, have to end every order with don't do that. I want the meats, cheeses, and bread, no need to glob all that extra stuff on there.

Dav has uncovered my dark secret... racist towards vegetables. Take that rabbit food and get it the fuck outta here!

Weather David Duke Man.

Meatatarian for life!

This is such a timely post. I'm in Ft Lauderdale for work and I got a Publix sub for lunch that I didn't get a chance to eat sitting in my fridge. This thread just reminded me of it in general, and this post got me excited for it.

Also, tangentially related but since I've been down here, it's impossible to find any good breakfast sandwiches. I'm getting back into JFK at like 6 PM, but I don't give a fuck about the time, I'm still going to get a bacon/egg/cheese/potatoes/hot sauce/toasted onion bagel.

We tried to get breakfast here on the weekend before heading to Miami for the day and went to a cracker barrel in a remote location half a mile from our hotel. 55 minute wait for average food (we'd tried it earlier in the trip).

I love NJ diners and breakfast food in the tri state.

However, Subway does suck.

I do however, like lettuce, on my sub or sandwich, hoagie or whatever you wanna call it, sometimes because it makes the sandwich "more filling"

When I eat a sandwich it feels like nothing. I eat it in one whole swallow. Nothing. Give me anything you got on there.

Do you just swallow 6", or can you take the whole foot?

Johns.

...

the Publix recommendation, but if I'm eating a sandwich at a chain, it is either going to be Earl of Sandwich or WichWich.

I can't stand any of the "chain" sub shops, especially when a local deli can make a sub much fresher and usually cheaper.

WaWa. The end

I ordered a chicken cheesesteak, with onion and peppers. After the guy is done cooking it, he starts reaching for the lettuce and tomatoes, without me asking for or mentioning them. On a fucking cheesesteak!! I stopped him just in time. And then, lo and behold, a second guy comes swooping in out of nowhere with a squeeze bottle of mayo - again, without me asking for mayo! On a damn cheesesteak? I also stopped him just in the nick of time. I mean, wtf?
