Sandwich Maker 'Threatened' After Refusing to Put Ketchup on Cheesesteak
KSEE24 news ^ | 5 Jan 2013 | NBC news staff

A Florida man just wanted ketchup on his Philly cheesesteak sandwich at Subway. When he didn't get it, a confrontation with the sandwich maker ensued, leading to a 911 call.

Now-former Subway employee Lawrence Ordone told TV station WFTV he was working behind the counter at the sandwich restaurant in an Orlando Walmart on New Year's night, when a man ordered a Philly cheesesteak.

"He (the customer) wants ketchup on the Philly cheesesteak and I have never put -- we don't even have ketchup at Subway -- I've never put ketchup on anybody's sandwich," Ordone told WFTV.

The restaurant chain -- famed for its "$5 footlongs" and diet commercials with "Subway Guy" Jared Fogle -- does not offer ketchup, according to a menu on the Subway website. Only condiments like mustard, mayo, vinegar and oil are available.

???

Who eats a cheesesteak without ketchup?
Do Subways not have ketchup at all locations?
(I don’t frequent Subway very often, but if they don’t have ketchup I sure won’t be visiting one anytime soon.)

That’s why Harry got to carry the big gun....A couple of 44 slugs flying overhead would make anyone lose their appetite for ketchup on a hot dog. Ole Harry knew!

Ketchup is yucky - good for not polluting anyone’s sandwich with that crud.

While I love catsup with a variety of comestibles, I never put it on steak. And I love Subway’s Phill cheese sandwiches. You don’t catsup on it.

So....putting Whiz on it is okay? I can tell you one thing. I used to love Cheese Whiz when I was a boy in the 50s. It was real then. Today’s Whiz is nothing like the original - it has a funny after taste to it.

[And, yes, I write this even with the understanding of the great fun other Freepers will have with ‘whiz’ ‘aftertaste’ and so on.]

I think I had a Philly cheesesteak a couple times, I guess it didn’t rock my world. But sometimes I like seared roundsteak with a thin layer of ketchup spread over the whole thing while it’s sizzling hot, and lots of black pepper. Yum.

I don’t know about putting ketchup on a Philly but I do remember the late Chicago columnist Mike Royko had a thing about people who would put ketchup on a hot dog. He felt it was un-American. I tend to agree with him. Mustard or hot sauce, onions and a relish does it for me.

Oh and BTW......... on the subject of FRESH. Every thing there except the lettuce and tomatoes is brought in frozen. The bread, the meat, the eggs....... frozen

One of the most disgusting things ever was the sight of a broken case of Subway Egg portions scattered across the frozen food warehouse floor.
