How about Quizno's? Their subs are way better than subway's.

I worked at Subway for a year. Once that happens, everything tastes the same.

Here's a couple misconceptions off the top of my head:

-We don't care about the length of your 6 inch. We eyeball it.
-Fresh? The shit actually comes frozen btw.
-The white bread is better for you then the wheat as it has no sugars in it. The wheat has the lowest possible whole wheats in it to achieve its name and the brownness is achieved from molasses in the dough.
-Unless it says "melt", all fact information is based without cheese. Two slices adds 7g fat.
-Some of the cookies like the white chip have over 15g of fat.

Quizno's is alright, not as good as subway though. I somehow feel like subway's not as good as they used to be, like the quality of their bread or whatever has decreased. Is this just my imagination? My favorite place used to be Cousin's, which is a local Milwaukee/Chicago (I think) chain. But they've gotten kinda crummy. Panaera is muy tasty, but everything they have is like 10,000 calories.

Also, sometimes at Subway I'll just have them pile on as much shit as possible. Like, almost one of everything. Goddamnit I'm going to get as much shit as possible for my $5! Does anyone else do this, or am I just becoming the scrooge mcduck of sandwhich ordering?

I can't go into a subway. Each and every one of them smells like vomit. Just have a whiff next time you're in there.

Subway?

No..
Nonononono, no subway. If you value a good sandwich you'll stay away from Subway. You'll notice that any combination in any sandwich ALWAYS tastes the same. Everything has that subway-e taste to it and on top of it, it makes me burp for the next few hours.

Sandwiches are too easy and too cheap to make to waste money on sandwich shops, unless it's a really good one. Like La Bottega, or a shawarma.

Here's how to design a proper sandwich:

------------------
Step A. Bread

-Bread is important! The size, the shape, the taste.

-Square bread
-Avoid white bread, it's tasteless, sticks to your palate if untoasted and too fragile if toasted. Besides, brown is healthier.

-Rye bread is delicious but usually small.
-Sourdough is even more delicious but crumbles easily.
-Pumpernickel is a very robust kind of bread. Don't toast it too much or else it turns to concrete.
-Bagels work well but you need to use a slice of something to cover the hole or else you'll have leakage issues.
-Tortilla or pita bread is great for wraps.

------------------
Step B. Sauce

I'm a big fan of Mustard and Mayo. The mustard give you a strong taste on one side while the mayo lubricates your sandwich. Do yourself a favour and don't use yellow mustard. Have some dignity and go with dijon. If it's too strong for your taste, use honey mustard or sweet and spicy.

You can also use barbecue sauce, tomato sauce, guacamole or even humus.

------------------
Step C. Toppings

As long as you have at least 3 toppings, you've got yourself a sandwich.

-Meat of any kind is good. Go to your local grocery store and get yourself some sliced meat. If I'm out I'll fry an egg and use that instead.
Tuna is also good, you'll want to mix it with mayo or avocado (nature's mayo) and a few spices like chili and garlic powder and then spread it on your sandwich.

-Cheese is great. Don't skip on cheese. Try different kinds.
Mozzarela, strong cheddar, havarti, brie, camembert, blue!

-Veggies, you need them.
-Lettuce (big leaves)
-Spinach
-Tomato (add salt and pepper)
-Shredded carrot
-Cucumber slices
-Avocado
-Onions

Marinades, those are the best part.

- PICKLES! I go to different stores and I always buy a different brand of pickle, I even made my own, last year. They come in all types and tastes, try them out.
- Beats
- Olives (Good but they tend to leak out of the sandwich)
- Marinated eggplants (hot or sweet)
- Hot peppers

------------------
Step D. Construction

Sheldon wasn't kidding in Big Bang.

You want to layer your toppings by alternation with a flat one, such as meat, sliced cheese or lettuce, and a not-so-flat one, like a tomato slice, avocado, onion or something else.

I shove all my toppings in a tupperware and pack 2 slices of bread when I go to work. That way I can toast the bread there and make my sandwich fresh. It saves time. If you don't want to do that, make sure to keep ''wet'' toppings such as tomatoes and pickles away from the bread, or else it will become soggy.
------------------

The limit is your imagination!!

I'm hungry.

More to the point, Turkey on Wheat with Southwest Chipotle and as many veggies as you can fit.
