Yes it is, so knock yourself out.
Thanks for that post.
I will never use Bayer again.
I love Subway.
Though their cookies aren't exactly heart-healthy.
Quizno's is gross.
But, to each his own.
I will say though, I have noticed Subway quality decreasing over the years. They used to be much better.
The best sub I ever had was at a Washington, DC restaurant last month though. Pot Belly's I think it was called.
That place rocks.
There's a Subway on our university campus (SOU). I've stopped eating there anyway, but now I wonder if they, too, are contributing to liberal causes. I suppose I could simply ask and find out. :^)
(not that being on a university campus isn't in and of itself support for liberalism...)
Not much choice but Subway here in KS.
That said, fast food always tends to be better here, at least in my opinion, than when I get it in other states. It seems to taste just not quite as good everywhere else.
I don't know why though.
You might want to read the rest of the thread.
I ate there in Washington, DC a couple weeks ago.
That is the best sub I have ever had, albeit without much competititon here in rural KS.
PotBelly Sandwhich works is about the closest thing to heaven you can imagine.
nutrion = nutrition
PS Although I don't know why they make those small deli-size rolls on bread that is not white, and not whole wheat, but instead, like an egg-bread roll or something. It would be better if they did whole wheat on those smaller, deli rolls.
But you are right about the decline at Subways. I remember thinking they were OK in the early '80s in Missouri.
I may have been mistaken per corrections of other posters here. I'll be interested in watching the ad again to see if I misread their ad.
Yes, I read through the thread and it sounds like there was no "fight homophobia" after all.
"Subway donates considerable money to liberal causes."
"Former Post:"This article is ostensibly focused on highlighting the 'evils' of cooperation between corporate fast food giants, the government, and the AHA. But, notice how deftly the *propagandist switches gears between bashing Subway for the purported unhealthfulness of much of their menu, to bashing the CEO of Subway for the totally unrelated issue of his personal investment in an Indian casino opportunity."
Clearly the junk food angle in the article was just excuse for author*Russell Mokhiber to "bash" Criminal,or manipulating Corporations, is Editor of Washington DC Crime Reporter, Corporate Predators..
Suggest www.Public Citizen.com re: Obese Act replacing Tobacco as political games continue to exploit the obese citizen for attention just as the movie "The Constant Gardner" focused on problems of pharmaceutical companies focusing on the poor in Africa to sell its wares.
Is this thread about sandwiches or subway trains? LOL, they must mean "po'boys"!
Antone's is alive and somewhat kicking. The family had a fight and split their territories, after they had expanded to every known place of business selling food in the city of Houston. I could've had an Antone's cooler of sandwiches in my house, I'm sure, if I'd called them up!
They may be back to more normal now, I don't know. I never eat them anymore. As they went up from $2 ($3 for a Super Red Wrap!) to $7-8, the meat content went down, down. Of course, it doesn't really matter because it's the RELISH that makes 'em!
I used to practically live on them "back in the day" - my favorite was the least popular one - the Piggy Boy. I can taste it now. It was ground up salami, lots of herbs, onions, garlic, for the spread, then some slices of pepper cheese, then provolone and salad peppers and mayo. I could eat two big ones! I never did, but I *could* have. Yum, yum, yum.
Somewhere along the line while I was away in OK, they started making them with ground ham instead of salami and they were awful. I wish I could duplicate the old Piggy Boys at home, but have never found the right salami to grind that tastes right.
In my 20s, I would buy Antone's Super Red Wrap poor boys and slice them into 8ths or more for hor d'oeuvres when friends came over and those were always the first thing to disappear. Most people loved them. At $8, I'm not enamored anymore. They are in all the grocery stores and elsewhere--might be a tad cheaper in their own storefronts. The atmosphere is pretty much totally gone - not like the Voss store we've talked about before.
I don't eat many sandwiches for a foodie, so can't really critique much. I intensely dislike bread and always remove at least the top one--with Antone's, I had to make sure to scrape the relish off onto the filling, though! I believe I've eaten in a Subway twice. Got a tuna salad once which was unremarkable and don't recall the other. It was just a meeting place with an old friend and the food wasn't important. I haven't ever gone there on purpose.
There was a little hole-in-the-wall deli on Fondren I used to work near that made the best tuna subs I've ever had. That was the first place I saw them squirt the Italian salad dressing on top of the filling, like they do in all of them now, I think. Theirs were just tuna mixed with some mayo to spreadable, some shredded lettuce, then the wonderful dressing, some thin sliced onions and some pepper cheese slices, with a little mustard and mayo on the top bread. Fantastic. Never found any others like those.
The best bread I've had was at Schlotzky's, though the sandwiches themselves didn't impress me. I've never been to a Quizno's. I love muffulettas, especially the olive salad that goes on them and I like pressed sandwiches, paninos, or things on ciabatta bread (tho I haven't tried any of Jack's) as long as I make them at home and usually open-faced.
