Jimmy John’s “World’s Greatest Gourmet Sandwiches”
Jimmy John’s (a chain of sandwich shops) tag line is it has the “World’s Greatest Gourmet Sandwiches”.
After having three sandwiches from there, I have to disagree all three times.
The bread for the sandwiches is soft all over, think wonder bread made into a French baguette. I like crusty bread.
Jimmy John’s also states that “We use the leanest, highest quality meats” While lean may be good for a diet, fat is what flavors a meat so for lean is not always a good thing when it comes to taste. I do give Jimmy John’s a positive note in that the meats I had were all whole muscle meats (I used to sell meats) or in layman’s terms, a meat that is not chunk & formed, it is the natural muscle. That said, the beef I had was highly pumped (you could see the injection marks) so it did not have a real roast beef taste, kind of like the other two sandwiches I tried, they just lacked flavor.
There are better delis and better sandwich chains to choose, I would not choose Jimmy John’s.
