I guess anyone married to Hogzilla and living in abject poverty in deep rural Arkansas deserves a laugh every now and then

@nopickles, giants, jess, and StreetMeasOnsumer3008: Thanks for the bagel tips! Zaro’s is my go to when I’m commuting to my parents’ place via GTC. I love their salty lox spread and they make a pretty good bagel. I’ll have to give the other places a try.

RE: “WTF?! That’s down right unAmerican. Shouldn’t toasting be the inalienable right of a bagel buyer?”

EVERY damn time I try to get up off the floor after one of my ROFLMAO seizures (brought on by New Yawk City folks’ antics), a story like this bagel-toasting-atrocity-in-the-making comes along.

And where do I end up? Back on the floor LMAO. GAWD, I love it!

Of course, meat alone wouldn’t make a good sandwich. It’s a cheap sandwich and nothing more. I don’t fill mine up with ALL the fillers at all though. Just cheese, L&T and pickles. No need to salad up my hero like others.

$7-8 for a full loaded hero? I highly doubt it. You probably mean a decent meat-pile on a puny little roll for 7-8. Plus these delis couldn’t be giving you mountains of meat or they’d go broke no matter how processed their meats are. I do agree the meat quality and quantity isn’t great at Subway’s. However, the footlong bread can fill you up quicker than meat alone. If I can get full at $5, why pay $7-8 for a puny sandwich on roll. For a better HERO, you’re probably paying minimum 10-11+ like at Lenny’s.

for $2 more I can go to just about any midtown deli and get a loaded sandwich… I dont know that I’d call Subways even a half decent sandwich… Maybe it’s half decent if you tell them to put EVERY filler they have… I mean think about it… you gotta get lettuce, tomato, olives, pickles, sweet peppers, hot peppers, and whatever else there is if theres more… Then it LOOKS like a decent sandwich until you take a bite and you realize you ordered a salad on bread. Order one with nothing but meat and most would agree that it just pales in comparison to a $7-8 sandwich.

Most delis in the city, especially in Midtown, will charge more than $5 for the meat-piled heroes. What kinda sandwiches have you been eating, Wiz? You get their fresh bread (while I’m not always a fan of but still enjoy), and cheese, lettuce and tomato (which delis will charge you extra for) along with other vegs. Will $5 even get your half a decent hero sandwich? Subway’s all the way…..for a cheap sandwich.

hey, subways is the first place that got me to eat a good amount of vegetables and like it so i still support their basically salad sandwiches!

Really? You’d pay for a subway sandwich? Even though you only get three pieces of processed meat? Yet you get charged just about the same as any other deli serving more then that?
