“Why eat at a Subway in a world where Jersey Mike’s exists? “
Anything that celibrates “Jersey” as in New Jersey needs to be shunned
I like Firehouse Subs.
LOL, you refuse to go Jersey Mike’s because of the name?? The name of New Jersey offends you that much?
Please tell me this is a sarcastic joke.
Let’s see third highest concentration of college and advanced degrees in the nation, a stretch of the Appalachian’s in the west, some rather nice beaches on the coast, and in the south the 22% of the state that is a single pine forest. More than a quarter of the population is foreign born which has its plusee and minuses, but come from a variety of continents leading to great food. Corrupt politics, high property taxes and traffic suck but it’s not hell on earth (that would be Illinois).
If only kids these days had Peters work ethic....
“In 1971, Peter Cancro was a high school student in Point Pleasant, New Jersey. He began working at Mike’s Subs at the age of 14. Peter loved working at Mike’s. He loved authentic submarine sandwiches. But even more, Peter loved working behind the counter, interacting and talking with the customers. He liked learning about where they were from and their summer vacation experiences. He took pride in knowing which authentic sub sandwich his loyal customer would order as they entered the store. When Peter was a senior in high school, he overheard the owner of Mike’s Subs discussing selling the business. He thought to himself, “I love the food, I love working in the store, maybe I’ll buy the shop.” Pretty ambitious for a 17 year old kid. Peter approached his football coach and said “Hey coach, Mike’s Sub shop is for sale, and I’m interested in buying it. Can you help me out?” It didn’t hurt that his football coach was also a banker. The football coach came through for Peter, and backed his loan. So, at the tender age of 17 – before he was legally able to slice a sub – Peter Cancro became the owner and proprietor of Mike’s Subs.”
Not everything needs to be politically tainted.
