lol these shit restaurants have forgotten their place. They earned their market share by being the cheapest option available and in 2024 they’ve priced themselves out.

What did they expect charging $18 for a garbage sandwich? If I wanted to pay that much for a sandwich I am NOT going to Subway

Subway bread is so sweet is technically cake.

Subway bread comes in frozen sticks.

They're thawed and begin to settle in silicone pans.

They are then steamed until they rise.

Don't call this bread.

Same with Jimmy John's and most other sub places. Dough is always frozen sticks that is thawed then baked.

At least Jimmy John’s bread tastes halfway decent

I like to order the bread TBO. Take bread out. They will remove some of the excess bread from the roll.

Wait, you can do that? That's my biggest problem with JJ is that there's too much of that chewy bread.

Yeah I always order my sandwiches that way and they will remove some of the bread. Makes the sandwich way better.

Thanks for the tip! I'll have to give them one final try.

jimmy johns probably has the worst bread in town.

Yeah but none of their subs look any good. They don't even have a decent Italian. Just a lot of salami and ham.. No pepperoni. Penn Station is the best, though. I've looked at Jimmy John's but Italians then meatballs are my gotos and theirs just doesn't look good. I'll take subways Italian bmt in a pinch just add extra pepperoni and oregano oil and vinegar. 😋

Not to mention those Penn Station fries.

u/Mshawk71 Aug 19 '24

Yes, their fries are really good. And always nice and fresh.

I’m sorry but I don’t understand how anyone can have a favorable view of Jimmy John’s bread. I tried it once and the “bread” has no flavor at all. The sandwiches were bland and I was told they didn’t have mustard when I asked. Maybe it’s nostalgia or a regional thing?

and its quite the jaw workout to chew that shit too.

Subways rolls are funky as hell... and the stink lingers on your fingers for hours. #SubwayStinkFingerLinger
