OT: Anything Goes 42

Subway is fake, chemical, garbage, food

 

[Mrfenn92]

We just got a Firehouse Subs open here. How does it compare to Subway?

Better then subway

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

I genuinely can't think of a restaurant chain that specializes in sandwiches that isn't miles better than Subway.

 

[Paul Allen]

Subway is awful, especially now that they charge $10+ for a sandwich.

 

[GIADF]

Subway bread and the inside of their stores both smell like barf. I’d genuinely skip a meal vs eating their food.

Hot subs like Quiznos are also trash.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

I adore Mr. Sub. Jersey Mike's is really good but stupid expensive.

Call me crazy, but even when I had a sense of taste, subs were borderline the last thing I was ever interested in getting. I'd prefer to get almost anything over one. To me, they're just the thing you get if you're in a group that can't decide what to get and you all just say f*** it and settle on something where nobody's happy or upset.

You're crazy. I love a good sandwich.

Around my work and where I used to live in Elmwood Park there are several excellent sub sandwich shops/delis that are much better than any chain I’ve been to. Alpine, Notoli, Al & Joes, Scudiero's, and Ozzie’s all make an excellent sub.

Gotta love a good sandwich. With some chips, grapes, and a good drink, I’m in heaven

 

[Mrfenn92]

Bari subs

D’Amato’s on Grand Ave. for me. They blew up on Instagram the last year or so and now it’s a whole damn process to get your order.

 

[Paul Allen]

FONTANO’S on Polk.

FONTANO’S on Polk.

Fontano's is f***ing boss.

Windy City Subs by me also has fantastic subs.

It's the small shops that have the best food. A great sub stands up to most foods if thats what you have a taste for.

I don't mind Subway, but I usually go with Jersey Mike's first, and then Jimmy John's second. Wish we had something a little more unique around here, but I ain't mad when I'm eating one of those sandwiches, so I can't complain too much.

There are a half dozen sub places that aren't a chain in most of the Chicago suburbs. They typically blow those out of the water, as well.

If you’re in the south burbs Bergstein’s NY Deli is great. Not a sub spot but killer sandos. There’s one in the Heights and apparently one in downtown Homewood.

Unfortunately it's all chain around here.

Yes

Any Mr. Submarine fans in here?

Absolutely. I'll do Mr. Sub before I do any other chain joint.

This f***ing guy.

 

[Behn Wilson]

Ive dropped Sub Sandwiches from the rotation for no particular reason. Subway because it is more chemical than food but I enjoy the other places

I really used to like their fries. Been a long time.
