I picked up lunch at Jimmy Johns today. Mrs BV has a small appetite. Their new $3 Little Jimmy (or is it Lil Jimmy) was the perfect size.

Right now I am devouring a Publix meatball sub. It's a bit messy but delicious and pretty good value at $6.99 for a whole (looks like 10-12").
The sandwich maker tried to goad me into ordering cheese on it. I opted for black olives, green bell pepper and pickles. I don't think the pickles belong but I just love their pickles. |

Wawa is opening a few stores here in South Florida, and they have good subs as well, but you can order only one meat through the kiosk. I like to have a few different types so I will get them once in a while when I am near one.
I’ve tried Subway again recently and found it tolerable as long as I’m willing to pay for ingredients to make it decent. The best sandwich I’ve put together recently is a turkey, bacon, cheddar with guacamole. Load it up with enough grease and then it doesn’t taste all dried out I guess haha... I thought no they’ve gotten better at toasting their bread too. 10 years ago the ends of the bread would have the consistency of croutons. |
Justice has been served. The best bit about this is that Subway tries to market itself as a fresh healthy alternative to burgers. This probably should have never seen the inside of a courtroom because the brand damage this could do is surely worse than the VAT they might have had to pay in Ireland.
Ireland's Supreme Court has ruled that bread sold by fast food chain Subway contains so much sugar that it cannot be legally defined as bread.A panel of judges rejected the Irish chain's appeal ruling their bread contained too much sugar to be categorised as a "staple food", which is not taxed. The law makes a distinction between "bread as a staple food" and other baked goods "which are, or approach, confectionery or fancy baked goods" "There is no dispute that the bread supplied by Subway in its heated sandwiches has a sugar content of 10 per cent of the weight of the flour included in the dough, and thus exceeds the 2 per cent specified," the judgement read. Subway disagreed with the characterisation in a statement. "Subway's bread is, of course, bread," the company said in an email. |

The Subway Club is not half bad now that they’ve replaced the roast beef with bacon.

I regret not trying the lamb Subway sub in New Zealand years ago.

Delighted to hear this. I have always regarded Subway’s sandwiches are disgusting.

I have actually fallen in love with Jimmy John's bread. They slice their meat multiple times daily so it's very fresh and their subs are very basic, no wonder they can make them very quick.

Having grown up in the land of the Hoagie I can emphatically say, NO. My comment after my first Subway sandwich many years ago was, "It's amazing what they can do with plastics these days"
Nothing beats a local Phila. area sandwich shop with Amoroso's bread and the correct oil. Lee's Hoagie House would be a good Phila. area chain. Barring that, if you are in the Eastern Mid-Atlantic or Florida,go to a Wawa. |
