Yup- the bread is key- gotta be Chewy, but not overly so. I’ve had so many horrible subs that were made with light airy bread- I jusy end up eating everything but the bread. Fresh ingredients help a lot too, especially if the tomatoes are really ripe and juicy.

Yes - Excellent tomatoes are KEY.
I don't know how people manage to choke down those sliced orange/pink
imposters of tomatoes. Why do people voluntarily EAT those things?
The mind boggles.

I've got a few dozen tomato plants inside by windows.
I'm gonna transplant (some of) them outside in a couple of weeks.
They are Plum Regal and Early Girl tomato plants grown from seed.
I am serious about my tomatoes.

Some of our sub shops offer "Sub in a Tub"...no bread. Kinda like Burrito bowls...no tortilla.
