I really like Subway for a change - so about once every 2 months when I am traveling. I used to love the Seafood sensation and always used to get the 12 inch. I have not seen that sandwich in any location for ages.

As we found out with Subway, it can be a huge YMMV.

I see on Jimmy John's website (and other websites) that they will not provide an allergen menu. I have to e-mail them about what I'd like to eat. Not very customer-friendly.

That's frustrating. Fortunately I just ask them to keep the cheese away from my sandwich and I'm good.

I left Firehouse off my list. They're a bit greasy for my taste and I have to ask for everything without cheese but I can still go there and not be unhappy.

Back in the day of Subway's original cut, a seafood and crab with shredded iceberg lettuce, black olives, salt and pepper on a squishy white loaf was my go to. It's a wonder I never got sick.

Subway is pretty much my traveling lunch every week although that's changing as both JJ's and Potbelly have superior bread.

One can eat very healthy (or not) at Subway. i get a 12" white Italian load with just about every veggie and turkey breast. No mayo just mustard and no cheese. Perfectly healthy sandwich.

I can find the same too at both Potbelly and Jimmy John's.

Interesting. I thought they had all of that on their website, or at least used to have it there.

I don't mind Subway when they have decent specials, but overall the menu prices feel high for what they are. Typically don't have Subway unless I'm out of town.

My faves are the Italian BMT and chicken bacon ranch.

Never.

I dislike their pre-cut meat (which is packed in goo), wilted veggies and odd smelling bread.

Got a surprisingly fresh sub at Jersey Mike's LAS.

I used to go to Subway infrequently in the days of the Jared cut-outs and stand-up figures.

Jersey Mike's blew it so much out of the water that I could count on one hand the number of times I've been to Subway in the last 10 years.

Nowadays around here there's Jersey Mike's, Lenny's, Jimmy John's, Baldinos, Quiznos, Firehouse, and Subway. I still give Jersey Mike's a slight edge in quality but Lenny's usually out-markets them.

I wasn't impressed with Jersey Mike's when I was there years ago. Perhaps it is time to try it again.

Likewise. I thought they were awful. Boring bread and subpar cold cuts with very limited toppings available. Are we supposed to think that somehow the meats are better since they take them to the slicer?

I find the little wrap the end of the package at the end annoying too.

Subway has sandwiches for strict vegetarians. So, yeah, I go.

Nothing at Quiznos.
Jimmy John (nicely) cobbled together some white bread, cucumbers, tomatoes and some kind of avocado paste. I needed seven sodas to wash it down. (Again, they were nice about it, Christmas Day in Flagstaff.)
Togo's doesn't really have anything - its hummus sandwich contains dairy...along with 40 grams of fat, 4.5 grams of saturated fat and 1,000 calories
