sub sandwich - Page 2

jester · 08-08-2007, 03:34 PM

I used to go to Subway, but no longer. I haven't been to Quizno's - heard they were overrated. We have a Firehouse Sub, but I haven't been there. We also have a Nixon's Deli - so so. However, we do have a Lenny's Sub Shop - Love It - nothing is pre-made (subway) all of the meats & cheese are sliced when you order your sandwich. Mmm Good Stuff

Port of Subs was started here in Reno, NV, is in most western states, and the place I prefer to go to.

Well, it's been my pleasure to "mildly amuse you"

I gotta know ... what makes it Nigerian?

More in your neck of the woods, I love the steaks, hoagies, and other food at Rino's in Exton, too. John's Steaks in Frazier rocks muchly as well.

Johns Steaks in Frazer used to be Johns Pizza in Thorndale - which was legendary. It split into Johns/Frazer, which is pretty good, and Joeys/Thorndale, which sucks hairy balls.

I don't know what makes it Nigerian,...that's just what it's called. It's a turkey and roast beef hoagie.

We used to hang out at Rinos after the mall closed when i was in jr high. My friend Pat worked there thru high school...Occasionally, we used to call 1/2 hour before close, and order some kind of bizarre pizza, and never go get it.....Then pat would bring it home after he got off.

o/` that's fucking teamwork o/'

Well, it's got some bites taken because I started eating before I remembered my vow to take a picture of it. Ignore the jalapenos, that's my addition. However, you may note the little cup of liquid cheese that comes with it--down here we call it queso, but it's basically Cheese Whiz. I even got a closeup of the bread for your inspection, LJ. So which is it? Authentic enough, or a pathetic wannabe?

Cheese whiz is for tourists.

fargon · 08-09-2007, 07:55 PM

We do not eat at Subway, but do occasionally enjoy Quizno's (toasty!) and Jimmy John's. There was a sandwich shop that Keryx's dad took her to called Pickle Barrel, it has since closed (probably over 15 years ago!) but it had the softest bread for the best sandwiches!

lumberjim · 08-09-2007, 09:16 PM

clobble:

the meat looks about right, tho the cheese ratio is low... but the bread looks a bit suspect...spongy not crispy.... and, as bruce says whiz is for teh gheys. sharp provolone or american. also, it looks tiny. and yes, the jalapenos and corn chips put it in a totally foreign environment.

but if you like them, hey.....if ever you come up here, let me treat you to one. k?
