Business Insider insults OOTB posters

"The biggest issue with the Jersey Mike's sub was the oil and vinegar. They dump so much on your sandwich that it totally overwhelms the flavor. You're basically just tasting a vinegar sub. It's called Mike's Way, which apparently means it's the intended amount for the sandwich, but it's a bummer when you're eating it."

@coolwaterunc has moved on from such trivial matters

The biggest issue with the sandwich for @coolwaterunc is the gluten.

Is @coolwaterunc sick or something? I haven't seen him post anything about it.

a) Why is Business Insider doing sub reviews?

b) Why are there only 4 chains represented, and why was the "winner" a joint I've never even heard of?

c) Why should I trust the opinion of somebody so lacking in basic sandwich-eating skills that her hands end up looking like this?:

d) Who made that sub, because I've never gotten that much oil and/or vinegar applied to mine?

e) Who took that picture?

There's a lot wrong with this review. In fact, it's pretty much all wrong. Final grade: F

Which thread? I must have missed it or are you saying there is some secret thread/discussion that no one on here would know about.

There's a Potbelly uptown. I've heard it's really good and wanted to get over there to try one. That kinda went to hell though.

Looks like its a nagging illness that he hasn't been able to shake for a few months.

All the PotBelly’s make salads and they are pretty good

Thanks. I forgot about that. Prayers sent @coolwaterunc.

Trying to make it uptown for lunch on a weekday is a PITA. Looks like there's one at SouthPark, too. Hmm. Maybe I'll try it sometime.

They're called principles.

I didn't realize there was one there. That one's closer to me, but it doesn't matter anymore. *sobs*

Sub shops sell salads to taunt those who can't eat the real thing.

You might as well pull the band-aid off and try JMike's gluten-free roll, you know? If we're being honest, the bread isn't what makes JM subs good; it's the freshly shaved meats (*cringes at that phrase*), the oil/vinegar, the relish, etc. You never know -- it might totally mask the taste of the GF roll.

At least then you'll know and either 1) have closure, 2) decide if the good outweighs the bad of the taste and you wanna keep eating it to acclimatize yourself to it.

He's right. They need to settle down on the Mike's way stuff. If Mike's way means that the sandwich will undoubtedly fall apart and be difficult to eat, then do it differently.

 

[uncboy10]

Anyone who unwraps a sub to put it on a plate before eating is a psychopath.

*She, and I’ve never had a sub Mike’s way that was that saturated with oil and vinegar. Either the employee screwed up or she requested extra to sabotage the ratings. I don’t trust her.

I've never had that prob at JM's either . . I get nothing but a purrfect hoagie from them every trip.

Damn skippy.

it’s probably blasphemy on this board to order tuna from a sub shop, but their tuna mike’s way is fantastic.

I'll order tuna every now and then from a local mom and pop sub shop. But yeah, I don't do tuna at chain sub shops. I don't know why. I've fooled myself into thinking it's better quality at the locally owned shop, I guess.
