Subs

Anybody from Philadelphia / Jersey ?

For some reason, the "HOAGIES" taste the best vs anywhere else in the country.

Otherwise, I agree what you said about Jimmy Johns.

My rankings:

1. Jimmy Johns.

2. Any where else that delivers



Seriously, Jimmy Johns has brought me food so many times in the past semester when I was stuck in the sweeney lab for about 12 hours working on my senior design project. And the great thing is that the guys deliver it to the lab, not just to the front of the building. And it is way faster then ordering anything else.

Love Jimmy Johns. Also work there, so I might be just a tad biased.

This might be one of the best recommendations. Given what I heard about people working at Pizza Parlors, it's a wonder I even eat fast foods

In order of being able to eat healthy:
1. Subway
1a. Blimpie
3. Jimmy John's
4. Planet Sub
5. Quiznos.

Quizno's is one of the most unhealthy fast food places to eat anywhere. The large tuna melt has like 1800 calories - about 300 more than the monster thickburger from Hardee's. Most of their sandwiches have between 800 and 1000 calories in the "regular" size, and almost all of them approach 1200 in the large size.

To put that in perspective, the Angus Bacon and Cheese from McDonalds only has 790 calories, and that's the highest calorie sandwich on their menu. You could eat 2 big macs and injest fewer calories than many regular quiznos subs.

Throw in a bag of chips and a regular drink, and you're pretty easily going to hit 2000 calories in a single meal. That's close to the USDA recommended daily amount for the average person.

I'm not saying that everything on Subway's menu is good for you, but at least you aren't punishing your body as much as you are at quizno's.

Wait, What?

B and B grocery Store on the southside blows them all out of the water.

I also love the sandwiches at B & B Grocery.

I also enjoy Manhattan Deli on Ingersoll and Maccabee's Deli on Polk Blvd. Rabbi Jacobson is always good for some humor while he is preparing your sandwich.

The bread at Jimmy John's is phenomenal. The only problem with there (and, if I remember correctly, Blimpie) is that they don't have the selection of toppings that you can get at other places. I pretty much just want some lettuce, mustard, and black olives on my sandwich.

I enjoy Quizno's, but not for their sandwiches. Their honey mustard chicken salad is really good, and pretty low-cal (especially since they put the dressing on the side). The pita bread that accompanies the sandwich is pretty good.

I know Panera isn't a "sub" place, but the Bacon Turkey Bravo is pretty much the best cold-meat sandwich ever.

Little King - Omaha
Downtown Deli - Ames
Chains - Gross.

Quiznos and JJ are the two places I go for sandwiches. Subway's bread is terrible and they're packaged meats and cheeses don't taste good either. Sub City is probably the best non-chain sub place I've been to.

Regular honey mustard chicken salad w/ dressing is nearly 1100 calories.
Small is roughly half that, but a still substantial 550 or so.

This is the correct answer - if you've never had a Dads Killer, you haven't lived.

I prefer Zach's Killer Italian, but they are all delicious.

And I don't care how many calories :D

while we are on the subject, who misses the old wedge cut that subway did when they first arrived? Now it's the same old slice in half that everyone else does.

When I first started in high school they would still show us how to do it in case someone asked. I believe by time I left for college it was completely phased out though. This does remind me of my list of things that will **** off a subway employee however:

1. Order a chicken pizziola
2. Order a salmon sub when in season
3. Attempt to tell them to what level you want your sub toasted
4. Order a salad
5. Ask for the old wedge cut
6. Not as big of an issue now but, trying to use old sub club stamps

Hungry Hobo is gone now. The one on 100th was bought by someone else and the name changed.

And for small ma an pa deli's. Downtown Deli in Ames is still one of my all time favorites.

I think there is still a Hungry Hobo in the complex at the Hy-Vee on Grand.

The Hungry Hobo that was on 22nd in WDM is now a Smashburger.
