Subway was great when I was a kid and the walls had newspaper wallpaper. Spicy Italian 2x meat and cheese. Provolone and pepper Jack, with the extra meat being salami and pepperoni only. Stack it with lettuce, banana peppers, tomatoes, onion, black olive, vinegar oil salt pepper and mayonnaise. But fast food ain’t what it used to be so I don’t go anymore
My first intro to subs was a mom and pop place in my college town - spoiled me for anything else except a good one I visit anytime I’m in Des Moines. I’ve been off fast food for a long time and rarely eat at restaurants anymore. A&W was my all time fav, but enjoyed Wendy’s, even Subway for quick stuff. If I’m out of town we are always suckers for family owned Italian or barbecue, and every four years or so a nice steakhouse. Rather cook my own, though.
And, we have dined together at the Wooden Match in the past! (great food & experience).
Every time your name comes up in a conversation, I opine that you are on a mission to meet every pipe smoker in the US. Where are you now? 3/4 of the way there?
East coast only. My work travel was pretty fortunate! I thought at the time, the travel was a slog. I was on vacation, and just didn't know it! Travel to the NYC pipe show was about 13 hours on the road, totally worth it.
One regret - never making the Christmas event at Kaywoodie.
Subway lost me when their spokesman plead guilty to sex acts with minors and possession of child pornography, when their "tuna" fish was found to contain no tuna DNA, and their chicken was found to contain only 50-percent chicken.
No mystery meat for me, thank-you = there are too many other, better choices out there.

Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?
I don’t care for Subway’s mediocre offerings but in the interest of accuracy...
It turned out that the type of DNA test used by the plaintiff’s lawyers doesn’t yield valid results on cooked foods.
Yes, there is tuna in Subway tuna. Once that was shown they took heat on the web for “unsustainable harvesting of tuna”. Can’t win.
The woman tried to withdraw her suit last April citing health reasons, but the chain wants to proceed so that they can prove their case in a court of law.
It smells to me like someone was fishing for an out of court settlement, thinking the chain would try to settle quietly rather than get dragged through the court of public opinion.

Interesting. What about the chicken? Maybe it was part tuna...after all, it is called chicken of the sea.
Subway didn't have the same issues as Quiznos, with bankrupt owners, one taking his life, back in 2006 (you remember Quiznos). But Subway was also accused of not honoring their regional area development agreements.

Quiznos terminates franchisees on heels of suicide
The sub chain reacts swiftly following the Web-posting of a franchisee's alleged note.

I remember when they first started expanding in CT. Started in Bridgeport and several of my family members worked at headquarters until retirement. It was a great company but now with Nardellis expanding and DiBellas coming in CT they seemed to have waned. The northeast is covered in subs.
There is (or at least there was about 5 years ago) a super place in my local town of Falmouth that made your sandwich right in front of you. I assume that's what Subway does?
There was a whole raft of fillings to choose from to fill up your 1/3 size French stick. As much or as little of anything you wanted. I tried to have something different every visit and was never disappointed.
Everything was super fresh and there was always a queue outside which was a testament to their popularity. I'd like to think they're still in business.

I don’t want to support entitledfast food workers who think they’re supposed to live comfortably off of fast food wages. I see them as fools for actually thinking that sort of job is anything other than a stepping stone. I mean shit, if you’re supposed to be able to live off that I may as well quit my job and save myself a ton of hassle and just go back to working at BK like when I was 15. Plus the buying power of the fast food industry has negatively influenced farmers by commoditizing their products and setting prices low. Same with beef. Plus it’s not even fast anymore nor is it cheap. In short, there is no place for it outside of convenience which is arguable. I see the fast food market in general taking a hit, and I hope it continues. It represents everything that’s wrong with our food system IMO
The last time I ate fast food was at a Dairy Queen. For $11.42, I ordered a burger with fries and soft drink. It was a complete disaster. The fries were cold and appeared to have been sitting for hours. Instead of a cheeseburger, I was treated to a cold piece of dried out chicken on stale bread. They couldn't even be troubled to get the order right. The restaurant was completely staffed by high school age kids. I declared that to be the end of my fast food eating.
Subway is okay. It is not fabulous but serviceable. Lot depends on who own the restaurant.
Wow 3 pages and not a mention of Firehouse Subs. They are out of Florida and are expanding. By far one of the best "chain" subs I have had.
There's a Firehouse Subs about 30 minutes from us. On your recommendation... I'll check it out.
