I suspect that if you’ve ever worked at any restaurant, you know more than you’d care to about the food service industry. Years ago, I worked at a very expensive, ritzy joint, and even there, conditions in the kitchen were, shall we say, more than a little sub-par. There are thousands upon thousands of cases of food poisoning in this country every year. The only defense is a strong immune system.
…“sub sauce” ?
I hate Subway, there is a putrid smell, that I can not tolerate.
Give me Quizno’s anytime MMMM - Toasted Subs.
Oh I only go in for Wonder Woman figures/toys, they’re the only Fast Food Joint that has them.
YES! the subway smell! it’s fucking horrendous! does anyone know what causes it? I kind of thought it was the bread. But i can’t reallyl ==place it. ((Sorry I;m drin k again~)
TeleTronOne just described the Subway where my friend worked to a T. Seth also mentioned that the meat slices were thawed out about once a week and if business was a bit slow they were used no matter how ripe they might get. Just mix a slice or two in with the ‘fresher’ stuff and no one’s the wiser. Urple!
Though for a Wonder Woman figure, I might brave sentient lunchmeat.
Those Clay Henry ads crack me up- like the whole town sings this stupid song no matter where he goes and he’s fed up with it. I like 'em.
See, now, every time I eat at Quizno’s I get a really upset stomach.
I mean REALLY upset.
I can’t figure out what does it - they use the same stuff as everyone else, as far as I know.
It’s very odd.
Mmmm…roasted chicken breast with provolone cheese and lettuce on Italian herb bread or whatever it is. You don’t even NEED sauce with that bread, it’s so good.
Of course, if they don’t have that, I get wheat, and ask for honey mustard. I used to get Caesar sauce but they don’t have it anymore.
I’d also like an explanation of the Subway smell. Every Subway I have ever walked by in several states always, and I mean always, smells like barf. WHY?
I don’t mind their food. (And there are horror stories from everyone who has ever worked food industry anywhere. I take them for granted, and trust to my immune system, which is buff and studly.)
But I cannot fathom how it is that the shade of searing radioactive yellow that every Subway uses inside can be legal.
I’m a Veggie Delite junkie. A six-incher, sans oil and mayo and cheese, plus a medium Diet Coke fills me right the hell up for under three bucks. And it’s awful good with that parmesean oregano bread, even if it does come in frozen lumps.
However, being acquainted with several ex-Subway workers, I really wouldn’t go for any of their cold cuts even if I did eat meat. And you won’t get me anywhere near that tuna or “seafood.”
Yeast perhaps? I smelled a similar aroma (stronger) crossing a bridge near the Miller brewery in Milwaukee.
I’ll chime in with my love of Submarina. Mmmm! Turkey bacon and cheese, baby!

Very funny post, Don Fnoofo. Kudos to you-dos.
Give us more; perhaps you could gird your loins for a trip to the hellish underworld that is Taco Bell or something.
On the day that started out as one that was truly hellish,
thank you for making me laugh.

I’d just like to be the first to point out that *Brave Sentient Lunchmeat would be an excellent band name.
Or screen name. I may ask the Admins to change mine now.
A Subway Moment TM from Christian’s past:
Minimum wage employee is sweeping the floor. Sweep, sweep, sweep, trash and dropped food into the dustpan. Sweep, sweep … glance furtively around … sweep a couple tables, then back to the floor. Sweep, sweep …
:eek:
Well, if you actually do it would you consider me an atttention whore if I asked you to credit me in your sig?
