> Really? Nowadays, Subway restaurants in Canada have a toaster for toasting your sandwich. I always get them to toast my bread before making an egg salad sub.

Subway normally asks if you want it toasted after the meat is added to the sandwich. I’m sure they’ll toast a plain bun (and maybe I’ll try asking for that next time for a tuna sandwich). The most crazy toasting I’ve done at Subway is asking for a meatball sub to be toasted after they put on tomatoes and the cheese, not before.

That said, my first Yumbo was better than a second Yumbo two weeks later, kind of like McRibs taste good after a long absence but not so much a week later. I wonder if BK will do a McRib-style special promotion once a year with the Yumbo.

Haven’t read the thread. Didn’t intend to open it, but it keeps popping up.

I don’t remember the Yumbo. I did see a picture of one recently (possibly on Yahoo News). The cheese is a shade of yellow unknown in nature. I wouldn’t go to a burger place for a ham sandwich, anyway. Chopped-and-formed chicken sandwich, yes; but hot a ham sandwich. (And Burger King is a poor alternative to Carl’s Jr. Except that the only Carl’s Jr. is about 75 miles away from here.)
