i love pulled pork normally but it doesn’t seem like the type of think subway would do well
I admit I am curious about it, but I have some reservations about it.
Yeah. It depends on what you put on it. Pick every ingredient and they overwhelm. I expect them to be piled on with meat, and it did not seem that heavy. In other words, not bad but not specifically what I’d think a pulled pork comes out to be.
Well, if it’s the equivalent of their chicken breast don’t bother. Ecccchh.
Do they have cole slaw available as a topping? If not, I don’t know if I would bother.
The best pulled pork I have ever had came from a place that specializes in barbecue, so I am spoiled for that. Subway makes some great sandwiches, but I just don’t know if their pulled pork is going to be as delicious as what I have had in the past.
For a fast food BBQ pulled pork, it’s fine. I mean, just as you don’t go to McDonalds for a fine angus burger you don’t go to Subway for an amazing pulled pork. But if you’re rushing around on your lunch hour it’s passable. Just don’t look at the meat itself too much, it looks pretty damn unappetizing.
It’s pretty much the same stuff as you get if you buy a tub of pulled pork at the grocery store. Decent, not spectacular.
Yeah, I had it, it was decent.
Agree with the others–it was perfectly satisfactory, but not as good as you would get from a specialty barbecue place. Of course, those places would also usually charge more–as I recall the Subway one was fairly inexpensive.
Sounds about right. I don’t expect anything more from Subway than “perfectly adequate.”
I don’t even see the point of going to Subway for pulled pork. I mean, maybe if it were cheaper, but hell, at Subway prices, you could go to a real BBQ and get a pulled pork.
I’ve occasionally tried the various “pulled pork” sandwiches that come out from time to time at fast food places out of curiosity sprinkled with a healthy dose of masochism. It’s pretty much always the same thing: gloppy pork in a overly sweet sauce with way too much “Liquid Smoke” flavor. Basically tastes like generic protein mixed in with ketchup and wood ash, with an extra dose of corn syrup to boot. I can’t see why Subway’s would or could be any better.
I’ve tried it, it comes with a sauce that is not very spicy, it tastes pretty good. You can get BBQ sauce added, I haven’t tried that.
What’s wrong with their chicken breast? It’s a roasted chicken breast. It’s not even a sliced, processed loaf thing, but an actual breast. Sure, it isn’t spiced - that’s why you add your choice of sauce. Okay, maybe it’s a bit dry. Again, that’s what sauce is for.
Funny, I just had one today and I liked it just great. Mine was a 6" inch toasted on white Italian with onions, pickles, jalapenos and added BBQ sauce. You can find better ones in some places but not too many places around here. The McDonalds McRib has a cult following and I thought is was way better than one of those.
I like McDonald’s well enough, but comparing any sandwich to a McRib, no matter how positively, is damning with faint praise in my book. Their “demand by scarcity” model (or whatever it’s called) would get me until I finally came to my senses and realized after being sucked in for like the tenth year in a row, the McRib tastes just as shitty as it did the year previous, and the only reason I was buying it was because of its limited availability and my apparently forgiving memory. Never again.
Heh, I tried one the very first year they came out and haven’t been back since. And that was 30 years ago!
I like the McRib >_< I’d probably like this pulled pork thingy from Subway.
But I do appreciate actual, real good BBQ and Houston has a lot of it, which I am very thankful for. Coming from Oregon, I have never had good BBQ until I came down south 
Not all of us are blessed with a plethora of succulent authentic BBQ restaurants, with a whole pig turnin’ on a woodburning fire and slathered with the old family authentic finger lickin’ sauce. Subway is featuring the pulled pork sandwich (which tastes perfectly fine!) as an alternative to lettuce/coldcuts/cheese. It’ll disappear in a month or so just like the Tuscan chicken disappeared. It’s not meant to be anything other than a choice of the month, for those weary of the usual Subway fare. Next time, they’ll think up something else to attract customers.
Are you me? That’s exactly how I ordered mine.
For around 400 calories, it was fine.
