Quiznos

This entry is dedicated to Muireann (pronounced Mirren). Muireann has an awesome blog called Bangs and a Bun (shameless promotion for a friend).

Here is the snippet:

- I'm so hungry. Eating my left hand and having my pinky toes for dessert is more appealing to me than a sandwich from Quiznos, which is all they seem to have in this airport.

The above post of hers consisted of her cutting down Quiznos..... and I couldn’t imagine anyone else hating such a delicious, mouth watering, establishment. Upon discussing this with her, I realized that she has never tried the restaurant, but has somehow formulated a negative opinion about it. She has asked me to create a posting to “sell” Quiznos to her.

Here goes:

Why Muireann Should Give Quiznos a Chance…..by Merdypops

First off, you haven’t been there yet! Why would you be so resistant to sampling their cuisine (not that subs could be considered “cuisine”) when you have no reason to assume they have crap food? Recently I introduced you to Swiss Chalet....I gave you the complete lowdown on the place and told you that you would love it….but that you would either hate or love the sauce. Luckily, you ended up loving the sauce. This actually adds to the case that I am building....if you love the sauce and you love Swiss Chalet, you couldn’t hate Quiznos.
You just couldn’t.

Subway and Mr. Sub: I find Subway the worst of all sub places. Their tuna, meats and cheeses are so bland, unless you season it up with pepper and sauces.





<--a Subway sandwich [snore]







Mr. Sub is much, much better. They have excellent tuna, good flavourful meat, and have scentless restaurants. The worst part of Subway is the smell you are hit with when you walk through those front doors. The meat on a Quiznos sub is overflowing. The meat on a Subway sub is chintzy and tasteless. Did I mention Subway is tasteless? Now, although I find Quiznos the best of all subway places…I also know that I cannot frequent it too often.
It’s almost a treat to me. It’s soooo good that to wear it out would be a shame. I recall once when my dad brought home a case of 893891830131 Oreo cookies (donation to his work). I swear I ate every effing cookie and I haven't been able to stand the sight of an Oreo since. I wouldn't want to do that to Quiznos.



<---A Mr. Sub sub. Getting better. You know how sub places will ask you if you want your sub toasted? This is a fairly recent trend that most sub places have adopted, but I recall Quiznos being the first establishment to offer such a service. All of their subs are toasted by default- if you want it untoasted you must request it. Even the tuna tastes good toasted; resembles a tuna melt. Mmmm. Now I will admit that when they first started out, they would sometimes toast the bread TOO much and it would chafe the roof of your mouth. They perfected it soon afterward, thankfully.


I believe that Quiznos may be a little more expensive (a dollar maybe) but MAN, is it worth it. I find that I need to have the 12 inch Subway sub to fill me up, but the 6 inch Mr. Sub or Quizno sub fills me up just fine. Did I mention that Subway is tasteless?

If you DO try Quiznos one day, please try either the tuna, honey mustard chicken or mesquite-ish type of sub. You will not be disappointed. Just check out this menu! They have thought of everything. Not just the tasteless assorted, veggie or turkey sandwich that Subway makes. Oh, did I mention they are tasteless?

For all of you readers out there... please tell me your prefere
nce: Subway, Mr, Sub or Quiznos?



<----A Quiznos Sub. There really is NO comparison.










So in conclusion, I think I have the upper hand here. Muireann, you have not tried the sub to be qualified to cut it up - pun intended. Once you have tried one, please feel free to comment about the state of it's wonderfulness. It's captivating nature. It's mouth-watering awesomeness.

I think I may have an eating disorder. I derive waaaay too much pleasure from food.
(oh and Subway subs are tasteless)

FINE, FINE, I'LL TRY IT!! Geez.

You are right - my new found love of the Chalet may make me trust your culinary preferences a little more.

Holy crap I've never heard such intense hoagie passion coming out of a person who didn't have a penis.

RIP: the Quizno's Turkey Bacon Guacamole. Discontinued. *sniff*

OH man. I recently tried a Quizno's sub and MY GOD it was good. Mr. Sub was my fave place to go BEFORE I tried the Q. Subway makes me throw up a little in my mouth when I smell the restaurant even from afar. I'm getting hungry.......

My regular order at Subway, back in the day:
turkey, lettuce, green peppers, salt & pepper on a bun(not a 6 inch). It was cheap and filling!

I have recently tried Quizno's and yes, I agree... tastebuds you never thought you had wake up while eating a Quizno sub. Too expensive though!

If I am hungry and it is between Subway or Quinzno's... I will go to Subway just because its cheaper...

Bottom line - I don't eat for taste. I eat to take the hunger away. As long as it is palatable!

I only got about halfway through this post. Not that I have a problem with food obsessions (shout out for chocolate cake!) but I don't understand why you can't just make your own sandwiches.
