A fresh made sub is prepared the same day, at best just before, or within a couple of hours before consumption.

A sub made with fresh ingredients, does not necessarily constitute beeing fresh the next day. A competitor to Subway reduces the prize to 50% advertising items as "fresh made yesterday"

A fresh made sub, using spoiled meat, is not only dangerous for the consumer, but also illegal :eek:

Some places may make a sub with fresh ingredients, but that does not mean by the time one buys it, the ingredients are still fresh.

:) Yes, and I was pointing out that IME, they don't intentionally sell spoiled meat.

Eating a Jimmy Johns tuna sub with my left hand as I type with my right. It's okay, and I agree that Subway tuna is possibly the best thing on the menu, although I think that's true most places so I may have a pro-tuna bias.

I feel JJ's bread is much tastier than subways white Italian load.

I am not the pickiest eater in general, and have found tuna and meatball to be ok subs there.

I agree and especially like the small jobs there, I don't recall what they're called, but strictly tuna on a skinny roll. Yeah, subway bread is too soft and airy. JJ's has a real crust.

If Potbelly and Subway are at all close to each other, I'll choose Potbelly every time.

Easy to say, but around here Subway locations outnumbers Potbelly about 10,000 to 1.

Ditto. The only Potbelly around here is someone's pet pig.

I see the pictures on the advertisement and thus am always disappointed at Subway.

The best sub sandwichs I get are at a small Italian Deli near my out-of-state relatives. On my way to the flight home, I stop by and get a sandwich from them - prosciutto, salami, sharp provolone, peppers, tomato, etc. Then I eat it on the plane under the watchful and jealous eyes of my fellow passengers. I swear I could buy a dozen of them , sell them on the plane, and pay for my return trip. :-)

Sadly. If you were in the "real" Peoria or the other side of the valley, it might be a different story. ;)

If I'm in a hurry and/or in unfamiliar surroundings, I'll take a Subway veggie over anything wrapped in plastic at the local supermarket or 7-11 or anything from McDonald's.

I will choose a Quizno's over a Subway (if I have that choice) because the bread is a bit better.

Better than 7-11 or McDonald's? That has to be the least ringing endorsement of anything I've ever seen.

I'll take a Big Mac any day over Subway.
