Subway's "bread-notching" ripoff
blu...@my-deja.com
boycott Subway now due to our personal experiences with them, as
follows:
Great sub places slice the roll horizontally, right through the middle,
like normal people do; the filling in the middle, with half the bread on
the bottom, half on top. Like, duh!
Subway, on the other hand, does (in our opinion) this sneaky ripoff
gimmick. They take the sub roll, and cut a little V-shaped notch out of
the top of the roll, then put in the filling and replace the narrow
strip of bread back on top. Since the stupid little notch holds only a
FRACTION of the filling that a normal sub would hold, it gives the
illusion that the sub is really packed. Which in our experience and
opinion it is certainly NOT.
For someone who's never seen this, picture a sub with 95% percent of the
bread UNDERNEATH the filling. When you bite into it, all it tastes like
is a mouthful of bread (and not very good bread either), with a teeny
tiny little bit of filling.
We boycott Subway and so does everyone else we point out this little
gimmick to. Who do they think they're kidding? LOL!

That's the least of their sins -- I ate there once, some years ago -
and the soft sweet imitation rolls were hideous, soggy and nasty.
NOTHING in the way of filling, however copious, could possibly escape
from that poisonous so called bread!

Guys, that is nothing - did you know that the "ham", "salami", etc. is
all turkey-based? When you order ham at Subway, you're basically
getting "ham flavored" turkey, not the real thing!
I used to work the late shift for awhile and the only place open at
that time of night was Subway, so I used to stop there a lot on my way
home from work. I became friendly with one of the managers there and
she told me all about this little "secret". I havn't eaten there since!
Bleeahh!
I also used to eat at Blimpies on occasion as well. THat is until my
friend asked for his sandwich to be heated and they wanted to charge
him $1.00 just to stick it in the microwave!!
If you want a good sub, go to a small deli or one of those mom/pop
pizza joints. They usually have better food and you'll actually get the
"real stuff" in your sandwhich.

What is used to flavor the turkey though? That's what I want to know...
I'd prefer to take my chances and go with the real thing rather than
artificially flavored turkey.

Also, I'm sure that Subway dosn't do this because they have your "good
health" in mind. I suspect they use turkey-based meats because it's
cheaper for them.

Its posted at any of the Subway shops I go to.... I normally
get the "cold cut combo" and it states on the menu that it is
"turkey based" meat. You can buy turkey based
meats in the grocery store. I have no idea how it is made. I
cant really tell much difference in the taste though but it is
suppose to be lower in fat .......

tourist town. Subway in our area does it's biggest business after the bars
close. Drunk people don't care what they eat. Everyone loves a sub after
the bar. Not to mention that this particular town houses one of the world's
most famous hotels. The ironic part is that even in the most expensive
hotel, the glass of wine that you had, I guarantee consists of backpour from
leftovers from some wedding. Everyone wants to save a buck. Not just
Subway.

While they may have quality iceberg lettuce (is that an oxymoron?) and quality
white-bread rolls, I wonder if the fat content exceeds the meat content in their
cold cuts.
They do seem to charge a lot for lettuce sandwiches, flavored with meat-like
products.

turkey. Really! It tastes like ham, but the ham flavor is not as
"heavy". It makes a good sandwich if you're packing a lunch for work.
Someone else suggested Subway used turkey based products because they're
cheaper. Not if the local deli prices are any indication . . . it's
about the same price as real ham, for example. -Dave

We don't have much in the way of Dominoes either, with good reason.
The sub shop in town makes great subs, but I have to say, their meatball
parm subs are attrocious. I eat them with a fork (not the bread, the
meatballs; disgusting, isn't it?) so I get a first hand view of just
how GRAY those meatballs are. The rest of their food is surprisingly
good, think they could make some real meatballs ever few days? geesh.

While I usually grill a few boneless chicken breasts (marinated various
ways) on the weekend when I want chicken sandwiches for lunch during the
week, (much cheaper/lb than cold cuts and far superior), I've found that
Kretschmar has a good line of quality cold cuts - bavarian ham as an
example. They are, of course, perhaps double the price of most others.
Few sandwich places seem to offer good carved turkey, ham, or roast beef for
sandwiches anymore.
(For sure not chains)

I dont think they are doing it to mislead anyone. Its just
the way they cut their bread...you're going to get the same
amount of ingredients on that sandwich regardless of the way the
bread is cut. How can they be misleading you when you are right
there watching them make your sandwich??
steve
conspiracy theory dreamed up by someone with any irrational dislike for
Subway.
While I don't like Subway, I like "notched" bread, I've even tried it at
home. I makes the sub easier and neater to eat.
I would challenge you to do your research as opposed to citing "optical
illusion". Check the nutritional data for Subway and a couple other
national sub chains and share the results.
For me it is the poor quality and tastelessness of Subway's ingredients that
make it bad. (I would guess the meats and cheeses have a fair % of water or
oil added)

Ha ha, that's right - you're paying more money for something that
tastes like ham, but isn't. It's cheaper for the STORE, not you.

Sure I have it...It doesn't take much effort to simply
watch the person making the sandwich. If you feel you have been
deceived then thats your problem. If you are basing your
argument on TV commercials then the argument of deception could
pertain to most anything.....how many times do you see something
on TV and think, gee how come MY burger never looks like that or
MY pizza is dripping with cheese like the one in the commercial.
Hell the food on TV commercials even has brilliant color as in
comparison to some of the garbage we actually order and eat at
these places......now do YOU get it? You cant believe everything
you see in ads......

But why eat something that is an imitation of the real thing? That
can't possibly be good for you, god knows what they use for the
flavoring. And who cares about the "low fat" content. Your body *needs*
fat, although in moderation. No one's going to lose a few pounds by
choosing to eat chemically flavored turkey. Would you also eat that
Olean stuff they use to make the "Wow" version of potato chips, etc. at
the risk of saving a few calories? Bleeahh!

Well I dont exactly buy it for the low fat content at
Subway..I buy it coz thats the sandwich I like and it just
happens to be turkey based....and I dont buy nor eat chips....I
really value my health, my life and most important, my
figure.....:)

I don't eat Subway sandwiches much but, no matter how they cut the roll,
the turkey sandwich with selected toppings is an adequately filling
low-fat meal at a not unreasonable price. So what's the gripe?

When you grew up in New London, CT, one of the two cities which claim the
invention of the Grinder/Italian Sandwich (the other is New Haven--and they've
been known to lie), eating a sandwich from the Subway or any of their ilk is a
come down. Any resemblence between what they make and a real Italian Sandwich is
purely coincidental.
Grinder
or Italian Sandwich
This type of sandwich is known by different names in different parts of the
country--Hero, Hoagie, Zeppelin, Sub, Poor boy, etc. As near as I can determine
this is the earliest version, originating in either New Haven or New London,
Connecticut. Both sides claim it was first made in their citiy. Either way, it
makes a great lunch or light supper. I am sure that someone will dispute the
point and I can't find the ref with the date the first one was supposed to have
been made by an (you guessed it) Italial immigrant.. Might make a good scholarly
paper should I go for a Master's degree in sandwiches.
1 small (8-inch) loaf of Italian or French bread
6 (at least) thin slices of cotto salami
3 (at least) thin slices of provolone cheese
olive oil
shredded lettuce
sliced tomato
salt
freshly ground black pepper
red pepper flakes (optional)
Slice the bread in half lengthwise and sprinkle the cut surfaces generously
with olive oil. Layer the salami on both sides of the cut and add the cheese,
lettuce, and tomatoes. Sprinkle with a little extra olive oil and salt and
pepper(s) to taste.
Serves one.
Although I have heard this style sandwich called a poorboy in some parts of the
country. including, Texas, it is my understanding that a real poorboy is an
oyster sandwich which originated in New Orleans.
On the subject of this type sandwich, though not found in the Grinder shops when
I was growing up, this is also better than anything you'll find at a Subway.
Hot Italian Sausage Sandwich
1 link Italian sausage (4 to 6 inch)
ž green bell pepper
2 or 3 slices onion
1 8-inch loaf of French or Italian bread
oil for frying
Coarsely chop the pepper and onion. Fry sausage until browned. Remove from pan
and drain. Add onion and pepper to pan and sauté for a few minutes. Slice
sausage into ž-inch rounds and return them to the pan. Cook until sausage is not
longer pink and the pepper and onion are soft..
Slice bread lengthwise and put the sausage, onion, and pepper mixture on it.
Serve hot.
If you want, add some chopped tomatoes or some tomato sauce to the onion and
peppers. Sliced Mozzarella or Provolone cheese goes well in this sandwich.
Makes 1 sandwich.

Sounds simple, but obviously the quality of the ingredients, particularly the bread, is critical
to making a great grinder (sub, etc).
When I lived in NJ years ago, I frequented a particular small family-owned Italian market in
Milburn (since out of business) that would prepare a sub as you mention, but they would use an
imported provolone which was a bit more sharp and of a harder consistency than typical American
provolone. I gained many pounds on these items of perfection.

Sorry, but I disagree. You can SEE the amount of meat and lettuce, cheese,
etc that they are putting on the sandwich. There is NO DECEPTION, except in
your mind, apparently. I prefer the notch method, because the fillings
don't slide out when you try to eat the sandwich.

>Who does Subway think they're fooling?
This method of slicing bread keeps the stuffing from sliding out all
over the place.
If you don't like th amount of filling they provide, ask for extra.
The sandwiches are cheap and extra meat/cheese is not that expensive.
When I get a sandwich sliced horizontally, the innards end up all over
my hands. yuck.

I've noticed a trend that *all* packaged coldcuts at the supermarket
are at least partly turkey or chicken. To get lunchmeat made entirely
of pork or beef you have to go to the supermarket deli counter or to a
regular deli or butcher shop. This is a good idea, anyway, because
there are a lot of local sausage manufactuers that are better than the
big chains, anyway.

It's not labeled ANYWHERE at the Subway shops in NYC - I've never seen
that written on any signs. Your local Sbway shop may be different, so
don't assume it's the same everywhere you go.

It was a chinsy sandwich made from stale bread, wilted lettuce, sour
tomatoes, slimy baloney, and tough hard cheese that had been left
sitting on the counter.
I found a local non-franchised sandwich shop that loves my money.
Besides, who ever heard of Baloney on an Italian Sub. YUK!!!
I used to work for Blimpie years ago. I will tell you the trick to
getting a better tasting sandwich there. Tell them you want fresh cut
meat. Don't let them sell you those precut slabs of refrigerated dry
garbage. Most will do the fresh cut for you if you ask nice. If they
don't turn around and start walking toward the door. They'll start
cutting before you hit the door.
A fresh cut sandwich won't be as dry, will have more flavor and
will be bigger because the air hasn't been smashed out of everything.
Also count the slices as they place them on the sandwich.
The formula when I worked there was
On a 6"
2 slices of each large meat
4 slices on the smaller meats like peparroni
2 slices of each cheese.
2 or 3 tomato slices depending on the size
Onions enough to cover, same with lettuce
3 fingers on the hot - cold peppers
A couple of shakes on the seasoning
Bigger byte got you twice as much meat.
The meat should be cut thick enough that you can't see through it.
Thin cutting is another rip-off I've seen some sandwich shops use.
Make sure they don't cheat you. About five years ago I got a Blimpie
Franchiser thrown out because he was selling sandwiches with less meat
than the formula and using lousy off brand meats, some of which were
out of date. Blimpie Corporation investigated him and shut him down
cold.
Though it did take some major persistence to find someone in Blimpie
Corporate who would return the call and speak to me at the time. I got
a return call when I left a message telling them that I had just
called the Health Department and the local consumer TV reporter on one
of their stores.

Its "Po'Boy" or "PoBoy." New Orleanians do love their PoBoys and they
are a treat to behold should you ever find yourself there, among a
thousand other culinary treats mostly or completely unique to southern
Louisiana.
The ultimate sandwich in NO has got to be a "Debris" sandwich from
Mothers, located (if memory serves) at the corner of Poydras and
Tchoupitoulas a few blocks north of the river. Be prepared to wait in
line.
One interesting thing about NO is that you can get a PoBoy just about
anywhere. There is a gas station/convenience store chain around the NO
area called "Danny and Clydes" which has a full-blown PoBoy counter in
every store. I was quite fond of the place for quick dinner trips on
weekdays. Not the best PoBoy in the city but not bad. The fried
shrimp PoBoy, "dressed" and doused with hot sauce seemed to be the
favorite among the natives.
One thing that northerners need to get used to is that in New Orleans,
a roast beef sandwich implies hot, thinly sliced roast beef absolutely
swimming in gravy. If one wanted a cold, sliced roast beef sub (ala
Subway or most northern sub shops)in New Orleans I would be clueless as
to where to point them.
There was, to the best of my knowledge, only one Subway in Metairie.
It was dead every time I drove by it. The one Arbys was also always
dead as they do not serve roast beef the way New Orleanians like it.

Back when I was in restaurants, it was a running joke that Subway sold
a franchise to "anyone with $70,000 and a pulse." From my
observations, this appeared to be relatively true. The upside of
Subway is that they get alot of franchises open in a short amount of
time, especially considering their low startup costs. For a couple of
years there they were the fastest growing fast food chain and have
outdistanced everyone except McDonalds in total units. The bad news is
that there is very little control over the franchises (Taco Bell has
this problem as well) and you end up with alot of units where no one
gives a rat's ass about quality and food handling safety.

Franklin, I don't believe this is true unless they have changed things
in the last couple of years. They have a sandwich called a "Cold Cut
Combo" which features turkey-based Ham, Bologna, and Salami but the
fact that these meats are turkey-based is stated clearly on the menu
board. The ham they use for the ham sub is totally different and, last
time I checked, real water-packed ham.
As for the question of how low-fat the turkey cold cuts are, they are
not at all the lowest fat subs on the menu. The turkey and ham subs
are the lowest on the menu. The CCC is kind of in the middle of the
pack.

I'm from the south and it may or may not be correct that southern women are

saw in the south. At least southern women keep their fingernails clean.

TROLLS
Recently, all of the alt.discuss newsgroups (NGs) have been
under attack
by a group of "trolls".
WHAT IS A "TROLL"?
SOME SIGNS THAT A POSTER IS A TROLL
HOW TO BEAT A TROLL
WHAT IS A TROLL?
Well, in a nut-shell, a TROLL is someone who constantly disrupts
a NG
for no reason other than just because they CAN. They will often
post
off-topic, and attack members of the NG that have done nothing
to
provoke them. The troll will then often try to make it look like
the NG
member had attacked THEM. They will constantly refer to posts
made by
that member in which the member had "flamed" them (verabally
attacked
them in the NG). What they naturally fail to ALSO say is that
the posts
are in RESPONSE to a flame originated by the troll himself.
SOME SIGNS THAT A POSTER IS A TROLL:
The troll will often re-arrange the nickname of another poster,
in order
to mock them.They will also constantly point out spelling errors
in
posts. When responding to a post, they will often include some
or all of
that post and respond to it line-by-line.The troll will complain
about
how the entire NG is always "picking on them".The troll rarely,
if ever,
contributes to the NG itself.They will often call for the NG to
"get
back on topic" while constantly posting to off-topic threads in
order to
keep them going.You will also notice that a troll will respond
to nearly
every poster in a thread individually. Rather than reading the
entire
thread, then adding their view, they will click a post, respond,
then go
to the next and do it again, EVEN if they are stating the same
thing
over and over again. A troll will often lurk for awhile to get
the
"feel" of the NG, so they can know just which "buttons" to push.
They
will single out one or two people whom they think they can
intimidate,
then harrass them to the point of leaving the NG. That done,
they will
"calm down" for awhile, then attack someone else.
HOW TO BEAT A TROLL:
Unfortunately, there is only ONE sure way to beat a troll, and
that is
to IGNORE them. A troll "feeds" off of the chaos he wreaks in a
NG. If
he can get even a single person to respond to him, he will be
happy.
Once he gets the first "victim", it is only a matter of time
until he
suckers someone else into the arguement. He will turn the NG on
its ear
and make it so that the ONLY topic of real discussion is HIM and
what HE
is posting, instead of the proper topic for that NG. Posters
that
respond to trolls, or constantly post threads asking OTHERS to
ignore
the trolls wind up doing the dirty work FOR the troll, even
though their
intentions are exactly the opposite. By posting to these
threads, you
only keep the off-topic threads going, and the troll's name at
the top
of the NG, which is EXACTLY what he wants!
Bottom line, to kill a troll, IGNORE him!!
A troll that can't incite you has no power and WILL eventually
move on.
For those that have a hard time NOT responding to trolls, your
best
defense is to NEVER click on a post with the trolls name on it.
Once you
have identified someone as a troll, bypass their posts from then
on and
don't even read them,
REGARDLESS
of what you see in the subject heading! If you want your NG to
stay
on-topic, you have to make an effort to KEEP it that way. And
sometimes,
the best way to do that is to do
"NOTHING AT ALL".

Why

Because I have worked for Subway (although, admittedly it was in 1989)
and have many years of experience in the franchised restaurant industry
and it just doesn't sound kosher to me. For one thing, the menu boards
that Subways post in their stores are not fabricated in the back by the
franchisee with a piece of craft paper and a magic marker, they are
purchased directly from corporate HQ and adhere to standards. As such,
it strikes us as odd that all the stores in the localities we are from
advise that the Cold Cut Combo is made from turkey-based meats while
the signs in your area do not.
Franklin, I'm not calling you a liar, I am just inclined to believe
that you are mistaken. On the other hand, I certainly wouldn't be
flabbergasted if you were proven to be correct.
We'll settle this. To what specific Subway are you referring?

Come on, get with the times. These days they lock them in the car

This was about 3 years ago - Subway on E.23rd Street in NYC.

Oh ya, really. Just like all Southerners are barefoot, living in the mountains
or on plantations (complete with slaves), eat grits all day long, and have a
hound named Beauregard....jeezlouise.

What you must try to remember is that the world includes other countries,
and they too have a north and a south.

the comments that "poor women" or "poor southern women" have dirty long
finger nails. I'm not rich & I'm rather obsessed w/ keeping my nails short &
clean. I think the comment about black women is offensive as well.
Sterotypes suck!
That said, let's just say it's gross when anyone doesn't wear gloves when
they cook, period! My father is obsessed w/ this. When we pass gourmet
cooking segments on TV, he freaks when so-called four star cooks use their
bare hands in their food & often don't even remove their jewelry. Do u want
the same ring (with all its trappings) that went to the can in your food?
Hair nets are a pet peeve of his too. I can't say I blame him after taking a
course in microbiology although it doesn't take a course to get just plain
gross.

Well, I'm annoying that way so I gave them a call. The store is at 32
E. 23rd. I spoke with the manager and he was very helpful. He has not
worked at that store for the last 3 years (only 4 1/2 months) but he
has worked for Subway for the last 3+ years.
The ham that goes on both the ham, and ham and turkey subs is real pork
ham (Oscar Mayer brand). The meats that go on the "Cold Cut Trio",
formally known as the "Cold Cut Combo", are turkey based (ham, salami,
and bologna) and that fact is stated in plain view on their menu board.
To his knowledge it has always been that way.

scatalogical stuff on the newsgroups...and then allowed your prejudices
to get in the way, to boot.
First of all, the woman was probably wearing disposable gloves over
her hands or using a spoon or something like that. Do you think the
health inspectors would allow ANYONE, Southerner or not, working in a
restaurant to pick up ground beef or beans WITH HER BARE HANDS? Come on.
The number one health hazard is from people who don't wash hands and
then come back and handle your glass or make a new batch of tea or
lemonade. AND from other customers who don't wash hands and then touch
the door of the stall and the doorknob of the restroom. THAT should
scare you much, much more.
Second of all, long fingernails are not indigenous to the South.
Check out Hollywood and New York.
Sheeeeesh.

When Subway shops first opened the food handlers did not
wear gloves...this new safer practice started only a few years
ago.....now in the case of the ground beef or beans I would
think they had to be using some sort of utensil or they would
have burned their hands.......
