This sandwich is or was at least at one other Blimpie’s spot in midtown that has a large South Asian customer base. I just can’t remember were it is (or was) for the life of me. Also they use Bravos for the tortilla chips if I remember correctly(they definitely were not Doritos).

WHAT is in this sandwich? Besides Doritos that is.

I have no basis for this, but I always assumed they used some generic or Utz brand cheesey tortilla chip. Using Doritos would have been way too classy.

Vegetarian, perhaps not! “Some Frito-Lay brand seasoned products, including some flavors of Doritos, contain pork enzymes in addition to herbs, cheese and other seasonings. Frito-Lay’s web site states that they use enzymes from pigs (porcine enzymes) in some of their seasoned snack chip products to develop ‘unique flavors’.”
