I never used to go to Subway very much. If I’m going to eat a sub, I need to have a lot of meat in proportion to the bread. Not a big fan of bread, am a big fan of meat. Subway uses a small amount of meat in proportion to the bread. Or, rather, they used to. Now they have the Big Philly Cheesesteak. This sandwich has a ton of shaved beef, especially surprising for Subway. It is so good- I’ve been addicted to it for months. When my neighborhood Subway, which I’d never visited before the BPC, starting knowing what I wanted when I walked in the door, I knew I might have a problem. So now I limit them to once a week. And I eat them on honey oat bread, not white, so that makes it a health-food, right? I get it with chipotle sauce (love the chipotle), onions, and green peppers, with provolone cheese, toasted. Now that’s a good sandwich.
You know that you can request double meat, right? And double cheese? Sure, they’ll charge you for it, but it might be what you want.
I like the Italian BMT, no onions or hot peppers, half the regular lettuce, and with all the other veggies. No salt, pepper, or oil, but plenty of vinegar. MMMMmmmm, that vinegar. The Subways near me only have white or whole wheat, last time I checked, and I don’t like whole wheat. And they only have that white American cheese. I’d KILL for an Italian BMT with provolone. OK, maybe not kill, but at least seriously maim.
I haven’t been to a Subway for a couple of years. Our cheese selection is limited, as I said, and I can make a good sandwich at home.
Veggie patty footlong on whatever limited-time cheese-bread they have on hand, white american cheese, all the fresh veggie toppings sans mushrooms (usually lettuce, tomato, onion, green pepper, black olive; sometimes includes shredded carrots, sprouts, spinach in place of the lettuce, depending on the location), jalapenos, oregano, deli mustard. Enough sandwich for two meals.
For sites without the veggie patties, I’ll get a salad on a bun: the footlong veggie delite, which is all of the fresh vegetables from above, double white american cheese, jalapenos, oil and vinegar or deli mustard, all on wheat bread. This is a cheap sandwich, and again enough for two meals.
Italian BMT with cheese & Herb bread, provolone, tomatoes, and red wine vinaigrette.
I would never willingly set foot in a Subway before they started toasting their sandwiches, but now they’ve totally stolen me away from Quiznos.
Their Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki tasted good, but it made me sick. They gave me the last bit of chicken in the container, and I wonder how long it was out.
I usually go with the Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki, on the honey oat bread. No cheese. Typically some lettuce, peppers, cucumbers and onions. OM NOM NOM.
This was to be my response, prefaced by the fact that I haven’t been to Subway in over a year, if not longer. When I want a sub these days, it’s Quizno’s. No comparison.
I like Quiznos better over-all but there’s something weirdly addictive about the meatball marinara sub at Subway. I like it with povolone on white (back when they had only white or wheat I got used to it that way) with lettuce and onions put on it after it came out of the oven/microwave.
As far as I remember, Subway restaurants have always had four cheeses; American, Provolone, Swiss and Jack. And they have like four types of bread. So maybe yours are different somehow.
Anyhow my favorite is the Black Forest Ham on four-grain wheat, with Provolone and all the other stuff except for tomatoes. I used to go to their restaurants in Connecticut as a kid when they cut the bread differently than they do now, sort of a wedge out of the top. I haven’t been to Subway in years, but then went twice in the past couple of weeks, mostly because of the five-dollar footlong promotion.
Haven’t been in a bit, but my favourite is the ham and cheese (orange cheese) on Italian herb and cheese bread with lettuce, green pepper, extra pickles and sub sauce.
To mix it up, I’ll get a meatball sub sometimes, just a plain one.
My son likes the veggie sub (no olives or peppers) with honey mustard.
BMT- Extra cheese, lettuce, just a little bit of onion on Italian herbs and cheese bread
Also up at home my subway has a “local favorites” which has a GREAT buffalo chicken. Small chicken strips, not a breast (microwaved), load it with buffalo sauce, lettuce, ranch dressing.
(I am writing this at noon, now I am hungry, and now I am going to subway thanks a lot Alice!!)
We have Subways in Bangkok, and most of them are open 24 hours. Man oh man, there is nothing like ending a long night in the bars by walking into a Subway shop at 4am and ordering a Steak and Cheese footlong, with double meat. Mmmmm. I’m not picky about the type of bread; I usually ask which is the freshest and softest. And they’re not supposed to sell beer after midnight, but they routinely ignore the law and sell me a couple of beers to go with that to top my night off. The one I usually go to, I can hit the 24-hour grocery store next door afterward, get some of the weekly shopping done and then hop in a taxi for home and bed.
My three favorite sandwiches are the Cold Cut Trio (lettuce, onion, tomato, and green peppers if I’m feeling adventurous), the Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki ( I hate how you have to remind them to add the freaking sauce), and recently, the Spicy Italian. That one tastes especially good with flatbread…
They used to have pizza subs, and some still do, but I’ve found that a Spicy Italian is cheaper. Then I just have them add provolone and marinara to it and toast it… I like trip peppers (Green, Hot, Mild), onions, tomatoes, and black olives on that.
Sometimes I’ll just get a spicy Italian untoasted with the sweet onion dressing on it and everything.
