what chain restaurants bake their own bread fresh

[nageov3t]

People don't necessarily want giant piles of meat on their sandwiches.

who? :hmm:

(it's not exactly giant-pile level, but certainly more than the 3 slices of cold cuts you'd get at Subway)

Well, if someone doesn't want giant piles of meat on their sandwich, then the one with less meat should be priced accordingly instead of priced the exact same, if not more, than the one with more meat

Subway boggles my mind, really.

there's one across the street from my office building and it's always jampacked at lunchtime.

meanwhile, these people could walk an extra block and go to a non-chain sandwich shop with similar prices that makes their own bread from scratch and gives you twice the meat that you'd get at Subway.

In all seriousness, I get the runs from subway D:

cheesecake factory has some fucking AWESOME bread too. i think it's pumpernickle or however you spell it. the darker bread out of the two they give you - it's fantastic.

I think Bertucci's does, but they are a small chain in the NE and I haven't been to one in a long time.

Considering Chipotle always talks about their fresh and local ingredients, you'd think their tortillas would be baked on site, so easy to do yet they have them plastic wrapped made from god knows where!

every time ive eaten something from JJ its been on plain white flavorless and texture-less sub rolls. meat is meh and there are zero toppings besides some sparse lettuce and maybe an onion slice

im not alone in this. most of the people i work with feel the same way

id eat a MTO from Sheetz before going back to JJ

i really think you've confused subway and jimmy johns. subway bread is flavorless and has all the texture and chew of cotton candy.

We have our own solution for that in LA: Poquito Mas. Fresh tortillas made daily at every location. Yum!

Schlotzsky's

Are they still around? All the ones around here closed I think.

Outback?

Love Outback bread.

I believe Panera may but at best most places par bake loaves which are then finished at the restaurant. I can't think of one which gets out the Hobart in the early am and goes to it.

I don't consider Subway bread to be baked, its more like warmed with a light bulb.

Jimmy John's sucks to, but not as bad as Subway.

(~20 yrs ago when I worked there) It is actually baked. The bread dough arrives frozen in the shape of a long tube. It is defrosted and allowed to rise. It is then baked in an oven.

Their cold cuts are gross so I don't know why you would want more of them. I'm not a big subway fan personally, but I get why people eat there. My gf likes it because she counts calories and they are consistent in what they put on your sandwich and have lots of low calorie offerings.

yea we still got one

Portillo's

 

[tfinch2]

Schlotzsky's is the best. There are quite a few in my area.

A related topic, fresh made pasta is nice.

Anyone who suggests Subway is better than JJ is clearly trolling.

I used to eat at one in the 90s... sort of forgot about them.

 

[KlokWyze]

Subway right? I don't like their bread.

Agreed with #3 post. Their bread sucks!

Panera is probably the best because of the sheer variety. It's a true bakery.... I'm sure there's some better mom & pop somewhere, but they are great.

I enjoy Cosi's bread, but it's not for everyone.

I know this isn't bread, but.... this chain called Cafe Rio makes their own tortillas from scratch and they are GODLY. You can just eat the fresh tortilla plain.... it's delicious. Takes a big ol' shit all over bread if you ask me. Just sayin'. :sneaky:

Anyone who thinks Subway's bread is any good hasn't had good homemade bread from a restaurant.

Many of the restaurants around here make their own bread. Many make their own desserts. Pies made from fresh fruit (that they canned or froze), and homemade crust.... omg, sooo good. Personally, I find it fortunate that we DON'T have chains around here. Good food instead of reheated industrialized food.

 

[nageov3t]

I was really surprised to learn that a local, non-chain cafe doesn't actually make their own desserts.

they're certainly presented as if they're homemade, but early one morning, I was driving past and I saw a delivery truck outside. google'd the logo on the truck out of curiosity, and lo and behold, it's a distributor of prepared desserts.

still good desserts, but the prices they charge are a little more galling now.
