Photo of that fat man that Casey posted. That guy has "Subway - eat fresh" tattooed in between Burger King and KFC. I wouldn't expect a guy that looks that fat to eat something as sophisticated as Subway sandwiches. lol
Plz tell me your kidding. Subway is now the largest fast food manufacturer in the world (it's surpassed McDonalds recently).

There's nothing sophisticated about it, their bread is frozen for literally months before they cook it, and most of their fillings are incredibly bad for you (steak and cheese, meatballs, all the meats). The cheese is basically plastic, the sauces are watered down.

I occasionally get myself a salad sub, heavy on the jalapenos, but everything else they serve is either incredibly bad for you or of minimal nutritional value.

They really aren't THAT much better than the likes of Burger King and McDonalds. But that small amount that they are better, is what they've played upon in order to get that position as the largest chain.

I didn't know that but I don't really know much about them since I believe they entered our market not long ago. Either that or they had a few restaurants but they weren't popular at all.
I took a sandwich from Subway twice or so lately and thought that they're pretty good apart from being overpriced. However here they barely have any meat - I believe they only have grilled chicken and ham. Other than that are only vegetables, their sandwiches are usually overloaded with them and I thought that they taste pretty fresh. Also their bread seems to be pretty fresh too (each restaurant bakes its own). I really had an impression that they serve food that is more expensive than other fast foods, inferior in taste but at least "fresh and healthy". Only that and the fact that I have one nearby my uni made me try them out.

Each restaurant gets boxes and boxes of frozen dough which they then bake. It's not made fresh. It's healthy/fresh only in comparison to much worse fast food joints, but not overall.

If you have any independently owned sandwich or baguette stores you'd be better off going to them.

^All true. This reminds me I haven't had Subway in a while. Must put this on my to do list. I used to crave their teriyaki chicken sub with the sweet onion sauce.

hahah. I won't make eating at Subway a habit then. Or at least I'll eat tortilla wraps instead of bread, I prefer them anyway.
Unfortunately I don't think that there are any other sandwich stores nearby. I have food at my university but I doubt that it's more healthy since it consists mostly of frozen foods too. We also have pizza joints and sushi but I'm allergic to fish.

I love a subway.

I have my own concoction called "The Meat Medley". It's copyright so don't be having the same, or I'll be claiming royalties. It is all the meats they sell, with some cheese. Add some lettuce and tomato (because I am healthy). Throw on some jalapenos.... And cover in shit loads of mayo. Always a foot long and always a pleasure.

I tried to make a medley back in the day and they said I could only order what's on the menu. Like, you have can have whatever kind of salad you want but you can't mix the different kinds of meats. I dunno. I don't really know how it works. I had a friend that worked there and I had him steal a whole roll of those tokens they used to do where you'd get free sandwiches for every 10 or whatever. We ate free the whole damn summer. LOL

Yeah we also can't mix meat. Anyway we only have chicken and some ham to pick from. I only tried chicken.
It sucks that they place like 2 tiny, slim pieces of chicken, only a little sauce and shitloads of vegetables (even if you pick only 1 or two kinds, and I usually want a bit of everything). I once ordered "double chicken", paid more and got one extra piece of chicken.. and they are really small.

That is lame.

I am paying more for more meat. This is a dumb fucking rule. I have only been to 3 different subways, but none of them had this rule.

Subways where I live are placed rediculously close to each other. 2 you can get to by following the same path in about 2 minutes, the other is about 5 min walk from the 1st.

Yeah in Birmingham city centre there is 4 of them, all within the same general area.
