Panera has deteriorated severely over the past couple of years IMO.

Of course they could. There are chains here that make their own bread and they're staffed by the same sort of people who work at Subway.

Eg...

No preservatives. It can't be that hard to make, can it?

Subway can add all these new ingredients, but the bread lets the whole side down, imo. It just reminds you that you're eating highly processed food.

That explains the taste! :D

Why is bread so expensive in Australia??!! Yes I know Baker's Delight, but use to use La Bon Choix when visiting Brisbane and it's sourdough was a bit cheaper than BD's.

Do BD's staff make the bread from scratch in each store? I thought they just heat up frozen dough like Subway does?

I have no idea. I've probably been to Baker's Delight twice in my life, but the bread is infinitely better than Subway. I just assumed they were making it there. Five ingredients and no preservatives.

As to cost, it doesn't seem that expensive to me. Supermarket bread is ~$2-$2.50 for the same sort of thing.

I had a subway turkey foot long yesterday in ashford England. The bread option was called “hearty Italian” and it really was delicious.

I’ve been going to subway for years and honestly I’d say it’s a 95% good deal. I have to agree that if the sandwich maker isn’t motivated then you’ll probably get a crappy sandwich. With that being said, has anyone ever been to a Jimmy Johns?

It’s the weirdest thing, they absolutely refuse to put salt on their sandwiches. I ordered a tune sandwich and asked if they could add some salt/pepper. They maker said “ due to corporate policy they cannot add salt/pepper “. I thought I was getting punked. Then he said I was free to add the salt/ pepper AFTER he made the sandwich. ... Over?

That’s why I go to subway now.

The JJ locations I’ve been to in Baltimore, Las Vegas, and Portland didn’t even have salt and pepper in packets or shakers. I started carrying around my own when I travel, just in case I go to JJs.

I guess I should have asked the question, does anyone know why JJ’s refuses to add salt & pepper?
i just hope it’s not some corporate woke policy.

I typically get a sandwich (from Subway or JJ) that includes at least one kind of Italian cured meat. Even if it didn't, I couldn't imaging adding more salt to a sandwich--especially from a QSR.

It appears to be a corporate policy based on their thoughts on the quality of the bread.

Oh, I could promise you that Subway doesn't have anything resembling Italian cured meat. Some of the meats have names that sound Italian, and look Italian ... as to the premise of the OP, I haven't been drunk enough in enough years to have had a good sub at Subway.

But you know what they don't lack? Salt.

Anyways. Good is relative. Does buying one once every few months get me to the next meal without food poisoning, without feeling bloated, and without being hungry 30 minutes later? The answer is yes, and that's good enough for me.
