Firehouse Subs

[Suzanimal]

I called Jersey Mike. They have a free sub coupon for me but the manager said they would probably continue to ask if I want bacon. Apparently, non pork eaters order the sub without realizing there's bacon on it even though it's right there on the sign. Does lack of pork effect (affect? I can't keep those two straight) vision?

There's a Firehouse Sub in town. I'm thinking of going there and ordering the club just to see if they ask if I want bacon on it - it comes with bacon. If they don't, I have a new sub joint.

What is the percentage of non-pork eaters who don't know about bacon? Why does everybody else need to have their experience ruined by a few too dumb to know something obvious? This is not federally mandated like instructions on how to use a seat belt buckle on an airplane.

Club on a sub! Looks aight.

IDK, it seems like a trivial thing to get annoyed over but it really bothers me. I quit going to Moe's because of the same thing. I would order the Homewrecker and after telling them the meat and beans I wanted I would say, just make it like it comes. Then they would proceed to ask me what I wanted. O_o

Minimum wage employees $#@!ing with you at the behest of the corporate HQ is not a trivial thing.

12"?

Pfft...

This is a right proper New Jersey sub at 15".

Almost a big as my... well, you know.

Your Firehouse sub?

I'm going to go there his weekend to find out where they land on the bacon issue.

[osan]

Your Firehouse sub?

Yeah... that's the ticket.

I did not make it to Firehouse for one of osan's big uns but my son popped into Jersey Mikes and got Jersey Miked. He said he ordered his sub and was pleasantly surprised when the girl didn't ask him if he wanted bacon. He thinks, wow maybe they listened to mom's bitching. Then, when the girl is almost done, she asks him if he wants anything else on the sub and he's like, what about the bacon??? She didn't ask if he wanted bacon, she just left it off. He's ready to give Firehouse a try but he had enough shore points for a free sub so he went to Jersey Mikes.

He's beginning to believe my bacon conspiracy theories.

It cannot be a Club without bacon . Without bacon it is a sorority girl salad .

sorority girl salad .

Yum.

My BFF volunteered to bring subs to the tailgate party last night and I have to say, those were the nastiest subs I've ever put in my mouth. She spent a lot of time in Europe and of all the great foods you try traveling around this is the gross thing she hangs on to.

Here's the recipe for the nastiest sub evvvveeerrr...

Publix roll (starting off strong with good bread)
Boars Head Ham (you probably thinking that doesn't sound bad)
tomatoes (okay)
tons of boiled egg ()
tons of Miracle Whip (*gag*)

No salt, pepper....nothing else. My teenage garbage disposal couldn't even eat the damn things.

Blechh...WTF?

European food tastes...sigh...white people, do something.

[lilymc]

Never been there. I guess I've been living out of the country for a long time, because I'm not even familiar with the place.

But from the sound of it, I probably wouldn't go there anyway, if all they serve is thinly sliced rotting flesh coated with coagulated cow pus. But knock yourself out.

[Anti Globalist]

I've never had Firehouse Subs.

Yes we eat our fries with mayo. But they're not French fries and our mayo is different as well. (better)

[Danke]

I guess it takes a Cheesehead to be a snob about their fries (that they got from Belgium).

Boars Head is such a great name if you think about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MgyRO3c870

The mayo is Belgian.. Belgian fries are not my kind of thing. I prefer French or Dutch fries, really thin or medium. The Belgian ones are big and have a rectangular cross section, not my piece of cake. Dutch mayo is better than American mayo, but with fries, Belgian mayo is the king.. It's more acidic, mustardy, it has great flavour.

But I am a snob about my food in general. Which is why I only dine in good restaurants or get fast food, I'm more than capable of making mediocre food.

A fast food snob?

Jealous! But I understand.

I just remembered the Kracken sandwich from McDonalds (if I remember correctly) that you used to tell me about in chat. McKracken?

I finally went to Firehouse subs. I was good. I split the 4.99 medium roast beef done up however they fix 'em with my mom. My son who loves Jersey Mike's said it was just okay. He still prefers Jersey Mike's.

[Danke]

I think their business model is pure genius.
