Quiznos is pretty unhealthy, so I try to avoid it. I like Subway because it's a fast food restaurant that doesn't make me feel sick after eating there. I tend to get the flatbread, as it isn't as filling as the subs, and I can better taste the contents of the sandwich.

Quiznos (at least where I live) just received a huge price increase on all their sandwiches, so I avoid that place.

[TEJ]

no love for shlotsky's? sad.

Larrys Giant subs is pretty good

I went to the local one in GNV all the time, but it just wasn't my thing. The subs were more expensive than Subways and though the meat was a bit better, their veggies were all bland, as if they're stuck in a freeze until all flavor and nutritional value are gone. Also, the local guys running it were douches.

The Quiznos here got killed by $5 footlongs. They stupidly decided to compete for market share instead of sticking to having a premium product people were willing to pay a premium price for.

The real problem with Quizno's is that they're a terrible franchiser. As someone who once worked there, I can tell you that the price markup is paltry for the franchisee. Their primary form of advertising is also coupons, of which the franchisee also ends up footing 90% of the bill for. The franchisee has to buy all the food from corporate and that price doesn't change, and corporate only reimburses something like 25 cents for every coupon.

Quizno's corporate just won't let the franchisees make any money. If your owners and manager can't make any money, the whole franchise system falls apart.

Japan subway is pretty good. they've got wasabi-soy Lately they've had a French series with Duck pastrami that comes with an orangina!

I must disagree. I was totally excited when a Subway opened in my corner of Japan but quickly saddened by how Subway Japan operates. Japan subway LOOKS good and the sandwiches are pretty close to picture perfect but they completely fail in how stingy they are with their ingredients. I thought this was just my franchise being stingy as hell but I've had similar experiences in Tokyo and Osaka as well.

Compared to my experience with Subway in southern California where I grew up, Japan Subway is very inflexible in how a sandwich can be ordered most specifically that they charge for extra lettuce and CHEESE fuck that. Under normal circumstances I wouldn't ask for extra lettuce or cheese because they usually hook you up good but the standard operation procedure for most sandwiches there is TWO lonely slices of cheese and a teensy pinch of lettuce per 5 inch loaf. Quite different from the stacked on cheese I remember back in San Diego. They don't even offer banana peppers or Provolone cheese.

The cost of Subway sandwiches in Japan are about 10-20 percent more than what they cost in the US as well and this isn't due to exchange rates. It was like this back when it was nearly 100 yen to the dollar back in 2004. I love Subway but I rarely go in Japan anymore because of the above reasons. It just ain't right.

It feels very hack-ish for comedians to spend long routines complaining about food that they already knew was garbage before they bought it. It's the "What's up with airline food?" bit re-tooled for the 21st century. Oh, your 59 cent cheeseburger sucked? Your TV frozen dinner had disgusting gravy? They didn't slap a 1/2 pound of meat onto your $5 footlong sub? How is this a surprise to you? You've been living in a fast food culture for decades - you should know that this stuff is about speed and convenience over quality and service.

And yes, I'll echo the sentiment that it's annoying when talk show hosts have comedians on and just let them do bits. Even moreso here, where Fallon acts like he's busting a gut over jokes that aren't that strong and he's probably already heard before. I'm sure he's a friend and they're glad to have him as a guest, but you don't have to sell Gaffigan that hard.

[Poimandres]

Favourite Subway memories:

- Putting on extremelly loud abrasive music to "drive out" customers near closing time

- Randomly ringing up meat subs as veggies for customers I liked

- Throwing uncooked bread dough at each other

- Putting on the "donald duck blow job" skit at innapropriate times

- Getting high in the freezer

- Taking sauce bottles and using them to draw giant penises on the road

Plenty of good times, and I met one of my best friends there. Our boss was a jerk, so we had no qualms about being inappropriate.

[Futureman]

I buy so much Subway that I have to throw some out usually.

[ratcliffja]

Therefore, jimmy johns.

Best. Subs. Ever.

Seriously.

[MThanded]

I think they pump the smell in.

[BlueSteel]

Oven roasted chicken with the chipotle southwest sauce... amazin.

Local delis/sandwich shops > Subway

If you're the sort of person who only dines at chains and you're in the midwest, then check out Jimmy Johns or PotBelly's as I find the service tends to be much more pleasant.

PBells goes out all the way to the east coast, friendo.

When it comes to chains in Chicago, I go 1. Potbelly's 2. Jimmy Johns 15. Subway.

Mostly brown bag during the week, but there's a little Italian sandwich shop called J&C Bombacigno's down the street from work. Too good. Too good. Just a buck or two more than the other guys.

[crimsonheadGCN]

I love Subway. I've been going there once a week since 2002 and I've been ordering a Chicken Terayaki footlong since it debuted at my local chain in 2004.

It's the only good Sub shop that I've had. Quiznos was junk, which lead to most going out of business in my area. Local deli shops are not any good and usually too expensive for what they offer.

[Ace Harding]

Local delis/sandwich shops > Subway

Yep. Too many great hoagie spots and sandwich shops near me to ever consider Subway. That bread, ech. And that shitty meat and cheese and shitty veggies coming from bags. So gross.

[DGRE]

If you happen to live in the midwest, and haven't been there yet, I'd like to recommend Penn Station.

Pretty much the best sub I've ever had. Grilled, great options, hand-cut fries, and fresh-squeezed lemonade.

In reality (even better looking IMO):

WTF?

Last time i was there I did not see a 2.99 cheesesteak

[bangladesh]

I would get me 2 of those..

[DGRE]

Sorry for the false hope. You can see in the small print it was for their 25 year anniversary. The sub of the month is always a pretty good deal, though.

[onemic]

All sub places suck. Quiznos as well. Maybe even more so because they hype up their quality so much and yet their subs are only marginally better than Subways while costing a ton more.

I work at one of these. I eat that shit all the time. never gets old.

My bro used to rave about this place and i never want. maybe its time. there are tons in the lou.

[Jroderton]

Subway chicken is horrible.

[Dommo]

Boy did they miss the opportunity to title that video "Jim Gaffigan's beef with Subway." smh

[dallow_bg]

I was actually surprised at how much he went off on Subway. Especially the "nasty ass meat" comment.
Was funny, and yeah, Subway is low man on the totem pole in terms of sandwiches.

[Gotchaye]

I like Subway for what it is. I don't take it as competing with a real sandwich place, but it's great for road trips where your other options are McDonald's and the like. It's quick, and the sandwiches are easy to eat with one hand while driving (without being messy). Plus they seem to always share real estate with gas stations.

Local places all the way when I've got a bit more time and just want a good sandwich, though.

[CriginsMcJuggs]

[cutmeamango]

Subway is the only fastfood chain I eat at (I rarely eat at fastfoods though). Has a nice hunger/money ratio and tastes better than the usual burger places.

[BlackGhost]

It just looks so perfect. You can't resist

[Eschaton]

It just looks so perfect. You can't resist

but its just so generic. its just fucking cold cuts. you could make that sandwich easy.

[CriginsMcJuggs]

It just looks so perfect. You can't resist

I'll take a Jimmy John's $4.75 8 inch sub over a subway footlong any day. Not quite as much food(although not much less, given how Subways shitty bread is all air and compresses down to the size of a slice of white bread when you pick it up), but the higher quality ingredients, not having to pick out toppings, and better service make it worth.

[Appleman]

I guess they're the fast food Olive Garden, overhype themselves but still pretty decent for the price. I love their tuna sandwiches though. I always order it toasted with cheddar cheese and all the toppings except tomato and jalapeños and I get it with honey mustard, mayonnaise, chipotle, and sweet onion sauces. No salt and pepper. No oil and vinegar. The only other fast food subs I can compare it with are Quiznos which is just plain in comparison. They don't put anything on it.

Major brofist on this one, that's almost exactly my standard order.

I hate tomatoes on sandwiches.

[Darknessbear]

Man fuck subway hate. Im literally the only one that likes them in my group of people I know at school. It makes no sense why not to like them. Ok they aren't the tastiest place ever (obviously), but when it's lunch and I need something quick, fast, healthier and cheap. It's unbeatable. And it's seriously the closest place to our campus. So we have to go travel around looking for 'bad for you food', that cost more and is farther away.

When I can just spend 5 bucks get a healthy footlong, that will leave me filled for most of the day.

>:| I never get to go though!

Why does everyone have to act like snobby asshats when it comes to lunch? And want to spend 10 bucks on something we have to scarf down in 30 minutes. Save that for dinner, when you have time to relax and enjoy.

[richiek]

Sweet onion chicken teriyaki, son.

Placebrofisthere.gif

The barbecue pork sandwich is good too.

But anything involving cold cuts from Subway is nasty.

[Barrage]

I eat Subway's Meatball footlong semi-regularly (because it's cheap and I don't care about my body), but I agree about local being better. There was a place in my hometown, run by a wonderful Greek lady, that sold 2 footlong chicken subs for 8 bucks (and this is in Canada, so we're used to getting fucked in the ass food cost-wise). Not processed either, and enough food for the entire day. I wistfully think of that place all the time.

[HiResDes]

Jersey fucking Mike's FTW.

Word, though Jimmy John's is also acceptable

Certainly some hilarious times were had. Had all the hallmarks of a Workaholics-esque comedy, circa 2003. Good times.

This. So much. Probably one of the best sandwich chains I've been to. As for Subway, their six inch subs are cheap and taste decent. I don't buy the stale bread argument for a second though, I've been to a lot of Subways over the years and I've never once had stale bread ever.

[Persona7]

A plain subway Turkey and provolone combined with a bag of chips hits the spot every now and then.

You can't match a deli though.

[Suikoguy]

I go to a local grocery chain (publix)
7.49 for a high quality sub, versus 5 dollars for the crap subway makes.

[geeko420]

I don't hate subway. I find a couple of their subs alright, but they are in the end fast food. They just don't have the same quality as local delis, not that it's surprising or anything.

My favorite sandwich place right now is Los Gatos Meats & Smokehouse.



This place is awesome. Their bread is delivered daily and they cut the meat per sandwich, plus they load them pretty high. They also BBQ tri tip out front and make great tri tip sandwiches. Their dutch crunch bread is to die for. They also process wild animal there so they have a freezer to the left of the deli counter full of cool shit like boar, bison, rabbit, and quail. If you in the south bay near Los Gatos you should try this place, you wont be disappointed.



Probably gonna go there tomorrow.

[Polari]

I fucking love Subway and I'm not ashamed to say so. Cheap, tasty and healthy.

[zerokoolpsx]

There is a 24 hour subway near where I live. It's alright. Had way better subs like Philadelphia Grill. Good stuff.

[Black Mamba]

My problem with Subway is the quality of the meats and bread. Even cheap, why should I pay for something I make better?

I can buy the meats at the deli and it's much, much better quality. Subway turkey/ham/etc is so bland.

The bread is terrible. Anyone who likes Subway bread must have never had anything but wonderbread, prior. Their bread is some of the most tasteless, boring bread you'll ever have.

So for that reason, I will never look to eat at Subway. Much like I don't eat at McD or the like since I cook better burgers (for cheaper mind you) on my own.

That said, if you're not able to make yourself a sandwich or buy a better one at a deli/market, Subway is a much better alternative to KFC/Taco Bell/burger fast food joints. The food is passable. In a mall and hungry but don't want to eat greasy fast food? go for it.

I can make every Subway sandwich cheaper and better at home. No thanks.

[Dartastic]

I love these Yelp reviews, because they're pretty much all spot on. The lady who runs the place is a witch. http://www.yelp.com/biz/subway-sandw...ds-portland-13 If Subway is godawful, this is like the worst of the worst Subway. It's SO bad. P.S. Good job, person who said Jimmy John's. Still though, mom and pop smaller places are the best.

Anyone can make a better sub at home. The reason people go to subway is so they dont have to.

[Tawpgun]

Well for fucks sake, its a chain "fast food" place. You're not going to get some gourmet sandwhich or something with that fresh deli taste.

For what subway is worth, its delicious and I love it.

I've never had Subway. I walked past one just yesterday and thought to myself "should I? Nah."
