who makes the toppest tier sub sandwich?

>>21425226 (OP)
me

grandma

>>21425228
objectively wrong, I do

Me

Im sure people here will say it always slop but I really fucking miss quiznos.

>>21425235
that bread and toppings look godly

>>21425241
Thanks :)

>>21425237
Me to, I don't eat fast food anymore but those $4 torpedoes got me through college. Funny enough the guy who worked there also sold me weed so he'd always hook me up with a extra portion of meat.

For chains, it's my local Safeways and Acmes. I don't know what it is but there's something about Acmes in South Jersey and the Delaware Valley (and Safeways in Delaware itself) that they just 'get' subs/hoagies. No supermarket or chain place compares and I don't know why.

>>21425226 (OP)

Where's the gabagool?

>>21425268
Priorities my man. Weed actually lasted me a long time. Most of my idiot friends went through an 8th in a couple days. Took me a few weeks. I stretched that budget like I did my food budget. I do miss Mexican dirt weed, shit today is way to strong.

>>21425226 (OP)
Arby's oddly enough, but you need a time machine. They used to do a loaded Italian that was spot on and consistent. It went away like 5 years ago unfortunatly.

retard here: how do you keep toppings from flying out of the sandwich?

as far as national chains go its jersey mikes easily and firehouse is second place.

>>21425258
Does that have sun chips on it?

oh ya, dill flavored chips

>go to sandwich shop
>watch them make sandwich
>they tear bread out from middle and throw it in the trash
>go again, ask to keep the torn out bread

Is it really so weird I dont want half my bread thrown in the trash?

>>21425290
Most hardware bakeries have it.

>>21425324
Just say you’re catching birds with it later.

>>21425258
Not a sub, but still unbelievably top tier sandwich

>>21425280
Fine motor skills.
Instead of squeezing the sammich like a caveman with you hands and mouth, deftly hold it not too gently, no too hard, and bite into by pulling bites away instead of crushing it.

>>21425226 (OP)
Jersey Mikes is an acceptable chain but the real answer is always your good local sandwich shop. You do live near a real sandwich shop right?

>>21425237
It was always better than Subway.

>>21425235
WAY TOO MUCH MEAT

like you know that animal you ate had a whole life and felt emotions and had a family but was separated and had friends while being tortured and then ur eating that animal right???

>>21425595
Yum!

>>21425226 (OP)
Firehouse is the best, though Quiznos was the GOAT. Jimmy John's is dq'ed since everyone knows a true sub place has to at least give the option to have your sandwiches toasted/served hot.

>>21425830
I meant Jersey Mike's when I said Jimmy John's. Jimmy John's is garbage regardless.

>>21425258
Isn't Lox just salmon?

>>21425595
>a whole life
veal doesnt have much life experience

>>21425235

>>21425265
Publix subs suck balls and are made by street shitters.
Wegmans is second only to any family deli in New Jersey or eastern New York. Suck my balls nigger

>>21425838
Yeah it's just what jews decided to call smoked salmon. Probably because they just adopted the scandinavian word for salmon which are laks or lax depending on if it's danish, norwegian or swedish

>>21425853

Publix

>>21425235
That actually looks great

im a chain slopper with low standards but I fucking love jersey mikes. I learned quickly not to order giants there because my fat ass will consume it all one sitting very easily.

I live on the west coast where we don't really have good cheesesteak places. JMs is the only place i can find a half decent cheesesteak since they have a flattop and everything. Also it's somehow cheaper than Subway now? How the fuck did that happen?

it's like the kosher salt meme. IT'S JUST FUCKING SALT.

Buddy, lox is just shorthand for gravlax, and it's scandinavian in origin. On top of that, it's delicious. The talmud is hereby renounced.

>>21427023
>kosher salt
kosher salt has nothing to do with Judaism, it's just etymologically related to Kosher in the dietary sense because it's good for kashering (dry brining) meat

I just tried Firehouse Subs and it was pretty good, I'll have to try the Quiznos I recently discovered and see if they live up to my memories. I've been wanting to up my own sandwich game but my grocery store apparently got bullied into getting rid of a lot of stuff to make room for more Boar's Head which I refuse to buy after all of their factory shittery.

I used to eat a lot of Quiznos when I worked next door to one in college. The dude that worked the same schedule as me always hooked me up and owner was a nice old lady.
Used to get the chipotle southwest chicken and tuna salad all the time.

for me it's penn station

>>21425265
I'm not hard to please and Publix has everything I'm looking for in a sub -- dense chewy bread, meat that doesn't taste like Subway, and fresh vegetables.

>>21425324
Where exactly did this happen? I want to know so I never go there. Never in my 43 years on this earth have I ever seen someone tear out the bread instead of using a knife to cut the bread

>>21427190
?
Not her, but it's called scooping and it's extremely common literally everywhere in the US. You slice the roll in half/butterfly the roll and scoop out some of the crumb. It's particularly useful for goopy fillings like tuna/chicken salad but lotsa places do it just to fit more meat etc in there. If done properly, you wouldn't even notice it was done at all because the sandwich gets compressed as it's wrapped up for sale.

Place in East Lansing called "Jersey Giants". Not to be mistaken with "Jersey Mikes".

Jersey Giants has all the meats, all the cheeses and fantastic bread. They got this one called "The Boss". It's outta control good with the oil and vinegar and peppers.

Hmmm... Uber Eats delivers across state lines, right?
I'm in Seattle, so I suppose if I gave the driver a decent tip of, let's say, $20, everything should be kosher. I always tip $20 for good service. $10 for bad service, $30 for excellent service, and $0.02 for terrible service.

the place near my house called Panino Teca

>>21425595
Based. Wish we could do it to people too.

>>21425258
Is this the Larry David sandwich?

Wish we had sandwich culture like in america. All we have in australia is subway. I'm jelly of all these franchises and corner deli's that you guys have and variations depending on the city or state.

>Panino Teca
Paninoteca is one word. It just means "sandwich shop" in Italian.

>>21425265
after a publix finally opened in my city last year, i'm convinced they pay shills to post on this board. years of hearing about how great their subs and tendies are, but they're both mid at best and shit at worst

>>21425235
This isn't me but I'm still flattered with anon's grindah-posting.

>>21427020
You know not really. Pic is my most recent one. There has been something of an annoying supply issue which has made it difficult for me to gather all the ingredients efficiently (basically my supermarket has switched their grocery deliveries from a central warehouse which does not offer sliced delly meats. so my option is to go shopping in person or order the cheap horrible pre-packaged meats which I fucking refuse to buy because they suck). I've been working 10-12 hours a day since January trying to get a major product across the finish line, so I've been relying on deliveries rather than getting to the shops.

Anyway, that concludes this balanced blogpost but enjoy my last (but not forever) pair of grindahs

>>21425291

I actually think they're doing something very innovative with the layers here. I'm intrigued, I might explore this unto my own purposes.

Absolutely seething over your own ignorance. Glorious.

>>21428312
There's banh mi places on every street but I'm kind of sick of them now.
I had a pretty good subway near my old place I'd order a toasted footlong for dinner and a cold cut one for lunch the next day. Kino.

for me, its ordering two giant subs at jersey mikes (club sub and italian) and eating all of it one day. Im not normally that bad but it really brings out the fatass in me. god damn it Im gonna have to do it again this week.

>>21432837
there's nothing like a cold cut sub stuffed with fresh veggies and dripping with oil and vinegar or similar. I drench mine with so much olivölle and and red wine vinegar that I have to eat the thing with a fork and knife

>>21425237
Quizzys was goated, nearly all their subs were amazing, French dip, peppercorn steak, chicken carbonara, Italian..., I used to take like 5 containers of the red wine vinaigrette every time.
Short story is corporate got way too cocky thinking they would take over the world, took on way too much debt, couldn't deliver, filed bankruptcy, tried to recover by rebranding but put all the costs on the franchisees, then they all fucked off once their margins weren't feasable. Now they're dead, rip in toasty peace

>>21425235
You're making some points over here

>>21425226 (OP)
a local deli makes the best sandwiches where I live by far, but out of the chains, jimmy johns comes in first. not that we have many choices, it's JJ's, Jersey Mikes, and subway. nobody goes to subway anymore because it's all indians, but once upon a time, way back when they still had "$5 footlongs" I used to love their meatball marinara sub.

>>21425280
sandwich picks are a thing my guy.

i used to live in walking distance of a wawa

Anyone remember Blimpie?

>>21425235
nice

>>21425235
slightly too much meat for my tastes but besides that looks great

im about to drop $40 on JMs and eat all of it because Im a shameless tub of lard btw

>>21440453
I went to a Blimpie once when I was traveling. It was good. I don't remember it blowing me away or anything, but I remember being pleasantly surprised. Also the shop was well kept and a very nice feller made my sandwich.

>>21440453
Blimpie was the best, but that one looks sad. They always put 2-3x more meat on their sandwiches than other chains back in the day. Used to get the hot roast beef.

>>21425595
Eating animals is the only way to ensure they get a human body next time around, I read it in a book. If you don’t eat them their soul dissolves.

>>21425592
>>21440506
I've got to admit, it really was too much meat. I was still very proud of my grindah but it was only an 8.5/10. I learned quickly that proportions are very important when it comes to achieving the perfect sandwich.

>>21440895
you nailed the proportions this time. whats everything you got in there if I may ask, and where do you get that bread? is it dutch crunch?

>>21441005
thanks friend. luckily if I take any photos a'tall I tend to document all the ingredients - picrel. I clearly didn't have any hot relish for this batch but the jalapenos and chargrilled marinated peppers were wonderful

the bread is I guess "Dutch Crunch" but my local supermarket (Coles) sells it as "tiger baguette"

>>21441005
>>21441012
oh also here's everything. an anon bullied me mercilessly when I first posted this pic :[

>>21441016
this is my ideal sandwich except Id cut the tomatoes and jalapenos, and add mayo and salt. good shit anon.

>>21441035
yep that all sounds good to me. I do mayo half the time and oil & vinegar half the time. depends on my mood.

also I know youse guys all gate Subway but this is my only option right now and it hits the spot.
Double meat turkey, add bacon, mayo, salt and pepper. and also for a snack you can buy a cup of meatballs

>>21441046
mayo, oil and vin all together is fucking choice m8. I do it for every sammy that touches these lips.

>>21441115
that's bold I just always felt like it's too much. although there is ölle and vin in mayo so adding better quality ölle and vin to the sandwich as a whole makes perfect sense

>>21436150
take the croutons off and id scran that with extreme predjuce

>>21436203
i usually get the big one and cut it in half
and eat the other parts later / the next day
its not as good but w/ever i'm not a fucking freshness fag

>>21441212
I eat the second half later too. Like, 30 seconds later amirite

>>21441225
sometimes i do that
i have a weakness for jersey mikes

>>21441016
That was me. You're the dumb guy from Woostah who claimed he was from Boston and you were makin propah Boston "grindahs" with your ridiculous Abbo ingredients.

You've become domesticated, grindahnon, and forgotten how to be a prick. A real Boston grindahman would never tuck tail and apologize like that. I'm ashamed to share a home state with you. If you said that to my face I'd fuckin push you in the Mystic and yell IS THAT MY DAUGHTAH IN THEYAH while your fatbody bobbed up and down in the current.

I guess all these years living in a civilized country has toned me down. But, it's like riding a bike. I'm sure the second I step foot in Logan I'll be a middle finger throwing prick again.

>>21440895

I don't waste it though, I bake it into croutons or breadcrumbs, and one time I used it to make cheese & bread soup which was something else

Go for it. I'll watch. If anyone asks, I'll say it was a moleman who looked like a 40,000 year old homind from Australia. There really are Boston mole people btw and they surface now and again to cause trouble. The police know all about them and their subterranean lairs.

>>21441615
one night me and some friends walked down the subway tracks after the B line stops running, so like 3am. we got on the tracks at Kenmore and made it all the way to Boylston station before we hoofed it back. we didn't see any mole people but it was beyond fucking creepy. those were the days.

>>21430525
It's the only place I go for subs. It's not that it's exceptionally good, it's just at least slightly better than every other national chain (at least for a cold sub) while being cheaper and more convenient.

>>21441921
Those aren’t real molemen. They’re just insane junkies and alcoholics who squat in shitty little drainage tunnels. The real molemen live deep underground in the old and forgotten places beneath cities. They’re are real mole people living under every old American city. Every old city has miles of forgotten and abandoned infrastructure.

I will take a footlong with everything, please. Then I will take it to my highly radioactive home and photograph it.

These youngins just don't know. Quizzy's was taken before its time. They were toasting subs before it was cool, fuck Subway/Jimmys/Firehouse, cheap imitations

>>21442910
I'm gonna post about it in the Philly thread but when I lived in Philadelphia, specifically a part of town which at the time lacked street lighting or indeed any neighbours at all (my apartment was literally the only residential spot anywhere for at least two blocks, surrounded by warehouse and crumbling former factories), there was an abandoned subway station about three or four blocks north of me. You could access it if you went through a specific, not-often-used subway line, the Broad-Ridge Spur (so called because it "spurred" off of its normal route of just going up and down Broad Street and under Ridge Avenue, ending in Chinatown; I lived just north of Chinatown at the time). The Spur used to stop there but since literally no one lived in my area anymore but me and the factories were abandoned, the station was costlier to keep open than otherwise so they boarded up all entrances. There are a few other abandoned subway stations and tunnels but the only one I've ever managed to get to was the one I lived near. No mole people, though.

dibella's subs

>>21445470
I went to one of those once, staffed by an elderly husband and wife, and when I came in and ordered, the wife had to go get the husband to make my sandwich, and he acted all annoyed that he had to make a sandwich, and the whole time the wife was walking around us loudly vacuuming. The sandwich itself was 2/10 at best. The rest of the store was a "grocery" consisting of the exact same Sclafani canned products that they sell at the supermarket down the street, but probably half expired at a 200% markup.

Maybe the old man wasn't greasy enough?

Don't let him trick you. It might look nice but it's far from the authentic Boston Grindah he pretends it is. It's a bastard sub born from the scraps he scrounged up in the Austrailian outback. It's like the 20 something skinny Bailey Jay of subs. It might look nice at a glance but you do not want to see under the hood.

>>21447520
It's made from the finest local and imported meats and vegetables. I even make my hot relish from scratch and sometimes pickle my own pickles.

Do hot sandwiches still count as subs? A steak sandwich, for example?

>>21448870
next time something catches you off guard and stirs you imagination, filling your heart with joy and excitement, take note of that feeling and try and bottle it up in your mind somewhere. That's how you need to feel while making a grindah, if you want it to be good.

The best Italian sub of all time was in WaWa. No other places even compares.

Your hoagies inspire me, anons. Do you have any secrets on making the roll (aside from googling a recipe)?

>>21451775
No. The best thing is to go to local bakery in the north east. You have to go to an old bakery run by third generation immigrants though, don't go to any of the foodie artisan bakeries. Artisan bakeries usually have good bread, but it isn't grindah bread. The bread is probably the most critical part of the grindah to get right. Subpar bread will ruin a grindah even if the interior ingredients are good. If you don't have access to a bakery, a lot of supermarkets sell subpar sub rolls although some supermarkets do stock bread from local bakeries. Burn local if you can. I think you might be able to buy bread from chain sub shops if you ask nicely. Other than making your own, I think that covers it.

>>21425226 (OP)
Any local mom and pop sub shop is better than any chain

>>21451828
That isn't true. There are some truly awful filth pits of mom and pop sub shops. A lot of halal people took over sub shops from the children/grandchildren of the Italian and other Euros immigrants who opened the shops. Unfortunately, a lot of the halal people have no idea what a sub is or how to make one.

>>21440453
Yep. I miss Blimpie

>>21451905
they still exist but have contracted significantly the last 10 or 15 years.

it's hard to compete these days, nobody can offer a good value because of increased costs of everything and only the most monopolizing establishments share the market amongst themselves

>>21440453
>>21451905
Is that supposed to look good? Looks like a lot of shitty white bread and lettuce with a thin layer of meat. What is special about it?

This is true, sorta. Not necessarily halal but certainly some sort of brown from "over there."
Several places in the Philadelphia area all went to Indian owners, weirdly almost always Gujaratis. Gujaratis are the Indian subtype most likely to be vegetarian. In fact, while I'm sure they exist, I have never met a Gujarati who wasn't veg. Or, at least, wasn't mostly veg. I know one guy who eats chicken outside of the house when his wife isn't around but won't eat any other meat.
Anyway, so they bought several of the hoagie shops once Mom and Dad got too old to run them and the kids didn't want to do it and they just… run them into the ground. I honestly don't know what they're doing, but without the old greaseballs running them, people just kinda stop going so every time an Indian takes over, it's guaranteed the place will fail.
Halal types take over pizza and cheesesteak places, swapping out the pepperoni for beef, the ham for turkey ham, the bacon for turkey or beef bacon etc.
>>21451828
Nah, bruh. I've had some absolute shit sandwiches from those sorts of places.
>>21451808
Adding on to you, Lidl has surprisingly good baked-in-store bread. The demibaguettes can sub in for hoagie rolls pretty easily.

>>21453709
That's interesting about Gujaratis taking over the hoagie shops. Middle Eastern halal types took over the sub and pizza shops from the Italians and Greeks where I'm from and serve their takes on pizza and sub shop fare. Indians take over the spaces but convert them into Indian takeout joints.

>>21453622
Ingredient quality is substantially higher than Subway or Quiznos which were the competition at the time. The only chain I know of that is on par these days is Big Town Hero but it's not very widespread.

>Indians take over the spaces but convert them into Indian takeout joints.
That only happens when it's not a deli. Chinese places become Indian takeout. Italian places become Indian dine in. One family from near Udupi took over an Old Country Buffet and ran it as a South Indian buffet. Being that most Americans are entirely unfamiliar with South Indian food, never mind that of Udupi in particular, they failed miserably. Pity, too, since that buffet was absolute tits. Their tomato saar (yes, that is the actual name of the dish lmao) was really fucking good. That's just the Udupi name for rasam. And despite them being from Udupi and therefore likely vegetarians, they had a lot of Mangalorean seafood dishes, which confused the fuck out of most people unaware that yes: Indians eat seafood. They had this steamed fish on the buffet in a mustard-based curry that has that two-heats thing going on with the nasal mustard-hot and the throat chilli hot.
Sorry to blog, I just really fucking miss that place

Looks like a bad Jimmy John's.

>The bread is probably the most critical part of the grindah to get right.
This. A few Jiggers opened a bodega style sandwich place near me in Tokyo and serve an Italian, along with chopped cheese and other shit. Got the Italian, and while the meats and cheese were good, as with all the innards, the bread was ass and just this side of stale. Ruined the entire thing. Maybe I should give them another try.

>>21454192
>A few Jiggers opened a bodega style sandwich place near me in Tokyo
That's cute, I miss the days when a little naive cultural appropriation was acceptable, even celebrated in this country. Do they dress like Guy Fieri, and play shitty japanese "hip-hop" on the stereo, and immediately latch onto any white customer as an excuse to practice unintelligible engrish?

>Maybe I should give them another try.
Or maybe not. It is not generally known that nips can't into bread or cheese? (Although they certainly have their fair share of larping westaboos who try.) You should look for a deli with an itamae who spent 10 years cleaning the toilet at a greasy dank Jersey Shore sub shop, before he was even allowed to touch the nitrated pork loaf.

>>21454228
> Do they dress like Guy Fieri, and play shitty japanese "hip-hop" on the stereo, and immediately latch onto any white customer as an excuse to practice unintelligible engrish?
No, they’re pretty cool, the bread just sucked. In terms of the “cultural appropriation” no one here gives a fuck about that. In the US, seems like things are changing. I lived in Portland, OR for years, and some skank who wanted to open a Asian colonial restaurant was practically run out of town a few years back. Now, there are some white dudes who are opening the same sort of concept, but Burmese, and plebbit and the papers there are loving it. Go figure.

>>21453949
>Home Town Hero
Sandwiches so bad you can't even get the name right. Your opinions are cancer.

>>21451828
This is true, the mom and pop has been there for over a decade and even put the Subway across the street out of business at one point. Also give discounts for paying in cash which is nice.

>>21454457
Subway gives a 10% discount to veterans on Veterans Day. Applebee's, Chilli's, and Fridays all offer free meals plus one.

In the 90s my PTSD dad used to go to Subway for a paltry 10% discount and was so happy for the deal. Now he brings my mom to a free breakfast, lunch, and dinner at all the above for a proper sit-down meal, and Subway is still shilling 10%. Embarrassing joke.

>>21425235

>just dropped 40+ on jersey mikes again

I have a problem

>>21425254
I bought one of those big subs from Safeway once that was roast beef and swiss thinking "Nice finally one of these without american cheese" and the damn thing had some nasty stewed onions hidden in it. Ruined what would have been a great sandwich.

>>21425585
>You do live near a real sandwich shop right?
No they all got driven out of business by Subway back when they were cheap.

>>21455455
same except I don't even have a local sando shop except Subway.

this is what it costs to have ONE subway sandwich delivered by a mister poopyfingers

>>21455493
and the thurdy usually doesn't even knock, just drops it on the ground right in front of the door so I have to scrape it across the ground to get the door open. Sometimes they don't even look for my house, they just drop it at the letterboxes down by the street. I'm getting mad now.

two giant subs (which are indeed actually quite large) which is enough for me to pig out all day.

well that doesn't sound terribly bad then actually. better than $36 for a Subway 11-inch anyway

>>21436150
>croutons in a sandwich
Makes about as much sense as pic related.

>>21425228
First post best post.

You make the best sandwiches because all the shit fast food ones have cut all the corners to make it as cheap as possible for them. Old ass veggies, cheapest deli meat possible, limited options, and of course shit is drenched in corn syrup to hide the fact it's shit.

So ANY sandwich you make at home, especially cold subs, will beat the pants off fast food because you will use better quality food to make it.

>>21455595
But I buy my delly meats at Subway

>>21455482
I did it. I bought the Turkey Bacon and it's delicious. I regret nothing. Little poopyfingers dropped it right in the dirt too

We have a saying where I'm from describing poverty as bring so poor that one eats "bread between bread" or "bread stuffed with bread" and this pic always reminds me of it

who the fuck is buying bulk delly meats and slicing them at home? Also these aren't packaged slices I went up to the counter and asked them to slice them for me. IT'S FINE

Also the vinegar is fine, I do normally have red wine vinegar but at the time didn't. AND THE PICKLES AREN'T WEIRD

Zoomers are completely fucked in the head because of the lockdowns. They have no idea how to socialize and the entire booze industry is predicated on people choosing to go out and have a couple drinkypoos. I know a few professors and they all say the same thing about the college kids at this point
>they don't talk in class
>none of them drink
>none of them go out on the weekends
>none of them come in with hangovers
>they don't date (research also says they're not fucking, either, lmao)
>they just sit on their phones and have no idea how to hold a conversation, make eye contact

I feel genuinely bad. There is an entire generation of people who are completely stunted. I hear it's even worse for kids who were still in gradeschool in 2020. It just feels like the vid accelerated the direction we were going in which is just further isolation of the individual from the community at large. I'm not even chuddy, it's just super obvious at this point that we need a concerted effort to resocialize an entire generation or we'll never get to drink la chouffe or a good french wine AGAIN and I can't handle that reality.

>>21458163
Yes, it's a basil garlic parm alfredo, so yeah basically a pesto alfredo without nuts so I don't have to deal with the tree nut allergy people.
>>21458155
It's actually not as sloppy as it looks, less sloppy than a Wegmans meatball or chicken parm sub.

>>21459094

ther are absurd amounts of unspoken rules and manners in east asian cultures, it's why they were so compliant and sweeping with massive lockdowns. If anything it affected them far less than the west because our society is more introverted and social in general.

I live in Kalispell, Montana and we somehow managed to get a Jersey Mike's 2 years ago. I'm from FL and Cherry Pepper Relish literally just doesn't exist here. Watching the locals learn what it is in real time as they have it on a sub is amusing. These yokels have zero clue as to how a sub that isn't from Subway tastes lol

>>21460116
>I'm from FL and Cherry Pepper Relish literally just doesn't exist here
Similar story where I live in OR. I used to get it from a local Italian deli when I lived in another state, but I don't think there's a single one of those (an actual deli, not a sandwich shop) in all of Oregon. I broke down and bought a jar of it from Jersey Mike's because it was the only thing I could find.

>>21455482

so in a way we're eating ze bugs but only by proxy. sometimes I wonder where the protein inside me came from, how far back it goes. I would like to think that a dinosaur died and got eaten by bugs which got eaten by rodents and so on and so forth and millions of years later I've got trace amounts of dinosawyer protein in my heart

>>21432837
It's because there is so much sub right there. It's hard to stop eating when you have this big ass sandwich in front of you. And I have to eat the second one now or else it will get old.

>>21457976
I never knew that was a franchise. Man they used to deliver until 2:30am it was great because I worked nights back then.

>>21447422
That's a beef and not a sub. Learn your sandwiches, anon.

A sandwich should not have more than two slices of meat in it. Stacking it so thick that you're just taking bites out of the meat mound behind the deli counter is sick American shit.

I think the quality of the bread, freshness of the vegetables, and the type of oil they put on the sandwich is more important than the meat and cheese.

you can cut vegetables with the meat slicer too

>>21425226 (OP)
Subway, duh.

>>21425228
This. A turkey and roast beef melt in my sandwich press mogs every chain sub.
