12" Spicy Italian on White Bread with:

Provalone
Spicy Mustard
Lettuce
Tomato
Olives
Pickles
Vinegar
Oil
Salt
Pepper
Oregano...


It's the best.

Have a real sub from a somewhere in the Philadelphia area and you'll realize that Quizno's ain't crap. There's probably more meat in a 1/4 portion of a Casupulo's sub then there is in an entire Quiznos. Hell, even Wawa makes a better sub than Quiznos.

So you're suggesting I drive up to Philly area everytime I want a sub? 😕

First time I had mine, I was like holy crap. I still love the first sub I ever had... Chicken Carbonara 🙂

LOL, no, but next time you're in Philly you should have one to establish a proper baseline for what a sub should taste like 🙂

New York Subs > Quiznos

Oh, I don't doubt that a real, hand-made, from scratch sub would be better. There's a number of local, non-franchise places here that make outstanding subs. I was just impressed that a franchise sub shop could be that good. It's kind of like going to In n' Out expecting McDonald's. (Though by no means am I saying Quiznos is on the same level as In n' Out. Quiznos is damn tasty, but In n' Out is a standard by which all others are measured)

I'll have to try Togo's. I hear that's amazing as well. It's just 1) I don't know if there's one in the area, and 2) I have coupons for Quiznos, not Togo's. 😛

Are modern culinary tastes so distorted today that Subway is actually something to get excited about? There is one on my block in midtown, which I have the displeasure of walking by every day. That rancid putrid yeasty smell indicative of only Subway makes me gag every day w/o fail.

I'm not a big fan.

To add..

I also wonder how a place, which goes through the trouble of baking thier own bread, can fail so miserably at it. How is it possible to take a fresh loaf directly out of the oven to serve and have it suck so badly?

 

[StageLeft]

Not a great diet food, but there is no doubt that if I'm looking for a large tasty meal I'll pick Q over Subway.

I somewhat agree. I don't out-and-out hate Subway, but I was surprised when one day I finally realized that of the major sub chains -- Blimpie, Port of Subs, Subway, Quiznos, Togo's -- Subway was the crappiest one. They're the McDonald's of subs. It's not necessarily bad food, but it's definitely nothing amazing, or even noteworthy. And what boggled my mind even more was that they're the biggest and most prominent sub franchise, at least in this area. Though when I think about it further, McDonald's is the biggest and most prominent burger franchise in the area. I guess both have a bigger advertising budget from cutting the "quality food" budget. 😛

There were talks of a Subway coming to my parents' town, but when the new Chevron station went in they also put in a Port of Subs inside. We were all happy the way that turned out.

Hrm, I have some issues with spicy food -- mostly heartburn -- but it does sound inviting. Mayhaps I'll pop a few Tums and have one.

You have to be in Vegas. I used to work at Port Of Subs when I was in high school. Unless you're up in Reno where they have 1 location. Port of Subs isn't a major chain..compared to the others. The number 1 at port of subs was decent (italian), but it was better when I made my own so I could put as much meat on as I wanted. Also, you're right, Capriotti's is one of the best.

I'm in Carson City, and they have 3 here alone. To put that in perspective, we have one Burger King. Reno has somewhere around 6.

How long ago did PoS (no pun intended) move into Carson City?

At least 5 years ago, maybe more. The earliest concrete memory I have about Port of Subs is when I won a free 2-foot sub from them from a local radio station. That was 1999 I think. It was shortly after the Matrix came out; I remember because it was one of those "be caller 9 when you hear this song" deals and the song in question was My Own Summer by the Deftones, fresh off the Matrix soundtrack.

I have no idea when they got the second store at the south end of town, but the one near the center of town went in last year or the year before, right near the High School. They're getting damn big.

... to yukichigai: have a coookieeeee...you like chocolate yummy warm cookies>...?🙂

 

[MangoTBG]

Wait until you get a Firehouse Subs near you. Steamed meat/cheese, toasted bread, cold veggies...the subs have more meat then Quiznos yet cost less. Not to mention for those that like spicy stuff they have a selection of over 50 hot sauces!

 

[DrPizza]

western NY... we've known for MANY years that the best subs are toasted. Quiznos - not a new concept to us... average if that.

 

[DrPizza]

Oh, and a whole sub (16 inches long) would never cost over 8 or 9 dollars.

 

[Eli]

They're pretty good. Too expensive, though.

I, too, find myself falling back to Subway. Yum!

 

[mb]

Their Chicken Carbonara is the best damn sub ever. Too expensive? Not really. You get something from Subway and it's like mostly bread, a sub from Quizno's is packed with goodness - and the bread is damn good too.
