Publix |OT| Where subs are a pleasure

Their cakes are like a drug addiction.

Once you get a piece, you just can't stop shoving it in your mouth.

Shit...now I want one again.

Publix has an OT? I...I'm not even mad.

Anybody ever get the salsalito turkey sandwich? They're usually over in the prepackaged subs section, I'd get a fresh whole sub of it but I never look at the ingredients to see what's in it. They're so damn good.

Got the tenders sub today for the 1st time based on a suggestion here. That sub is legit. I got the whole on white W/ buffalo, ranch, provolone cheese and black pepper toasted.

Still blows my mind how their subs and other 'subshops' have similar prices. The quality gulf is extraordinary.
 
So crazy reading about a thread full of amazement and wonder at something I grew up with and took for granted =p

Publix subs are fantastic value. Boars Head is useless though. Wasted dollar, there is absolutely zero difference in taste/texture.

Did get horribly sick after eating a Publix sub one time though. Was a horrible few days. Not sure if it was food poisoning, but it's the only time in my life I ever got sick like that from eating food. Had a mental block for about a year that made me not want to eat them, but it went away and now I'm back to it.

WaWa isn't quite as price efficient, but I do enjoy their subs quite a bit!

I've never opted for Boar's Head. Publix ish is just fine.

I have a sneaking suspicion that like all of the other publix brand stuff throughout the store that it's basically the same thing that it's next to in this case boar's head

also my stomach can get fucked up with certain things so how I know that the publix meat is on point is I can eat their italian sub and be fine after

It really, really isn't. Trust me, I was a deli worker.

If you're fine with the Publix meat, that's fine and all, but they are different.

Down in Florida on business and have a publix right across the street. I went because of all of the chat on this site and I am pleased. The buffalo chicken tender with blue cheese sub is legit.

Thanks
 
We currently have 3 Publix here in Knoxville, and I love them. It use to be my go to grocery store, but they built a Kroger Marketplace (a super Kroger) about 3 miles from house last year which has taken it's place. I don't know, but it does give Publix a run for it's money with it's faux restaurants (they have like 3 different ones inside Kroger) and deli.

Just curious do they have some form of Super Publix in Florida or are they all the same? The only issue I have with Publix is it's selection is not as good as my Kroger. Also Publix doesn't stock local brands. Kroger stocks several local brands that I love. Still Publix BOGO is the bomb, their cakes, sandwiches are better. If they built one close to me I probably would go back to Publix, but Kroger is pretty good too.

I went there the other day and got 2 pc fried chicken with 2 sides for 4.69... I was blown away by how cheap that is. It really just is better than everything out there at fair pricing.

Also publix just has better chicken wings and tenders than the rest. Those portions are so freaking big!

publix is the business, had a buffalo chicken tender sub for dinner last night, along with some unsweet tea. Picked up som buffalo chicken dip for sunday as well
 
I was a deli clerk for a few years, as well as a warehouse employee with various positions. One of the most important things one of my store managers told me was how Publix did not sell groceries. If customers want groceries they go to Walmart, Save-A-Lot, Aldi, etc. Publix sells customer service; that is the only reason customers walk through the door, and pay the higher prices that Publix charges.

This thread is enlightening. I was in Wellington, Florida for 2 weeks over the summer. There is a Publix every block around there I had no idea they make good subs. I was using Publix wrong by buying groceries there
