Subway isn't my first choice but there is some serious Subway hatred on here. And I think their bread is ok--7 grain wheat. But I do love a Jersey Mike's.
Nothing comes close to a Godmother sandwich at

Fortunately or unfortunately they are in Santa Monica which is a schlep or I would be there daily. The bread is in a class by itself.

Had a jersey mikes today just to confirm my feelings. It was hella good. I love the oil/vinegar/herb combo. I had a roast beef & turkey & bacon. The bread was really fresh as were the veggies. I'm a jersey mike's gal--not going to doubt myself anymore.

Jersey Mike's is awful. I gave them two tries, but both times were bland sandwiches and horrible bread (even worse than Subway). They have limited toppings and try to sell on this "freshly cut meats" spiel which is joke. It's water logged meats sitting in a gross plastic wrap.

Remember the $5 footlong specials they always used to advertise? They apparently became $6 footlongs sometime recently. 
I'm not sure they're worth the extra $1, to be honest.
These days I'll go to Which Wich or Jersey Mike's before going to Subway. I tried Firehouse a few times and felt that the portion sizes were too small for what they charge--and their BBQ brisket sandwich tasted a bit weird to me, too. The cranberry turkey one is the only one so far that I've found acceptable there.
Quiznos also used to be on the list but the ones closest to my work all closed. Probably for the best since the absolute closest one to work was one that wouldn't accept any corporate coupons for some reason. Ironically it became a Which Wich a short time after it closed.

What is it about "a little mustard" that Subway workers don't understand? Or mayonaise? I know they understand "little" - look at the meat and cheese - you can see through a slice of ham there.
I much prefer Quiznos or independent shops, but there's this Jared weight loss vibe and I really need to lose another 20 pounds.
Seriously, I'm sick of telling them to start over when they finish pouring a half cup of mustard on my 6" sub!

I had a 12 inch turkey sub on wheat today at Subway. Was fine. Not great, but fine. 900 calories for lunch (and I skipped breakfast) so I'm good with it. Surprised at the sodium content when I looked it up. I'm assuming most of that comes from the bread.

Maybe I'm looking at the wrong thing, but if you are correct if would make me very happy

From your link, click "calculate yours" (on the far right).
Change to 12 inch, 9 grain wheat, with swiss and mayo (though I will be switching to the light mayo or mustard in the future
), and you will get to the 900 calories.
