So I've eating Subway for lunch practically every day this year and I'm therefore pretty much an expert on what is good and what is really not a winner. As such, I would feel remiss if I didn't try to somehow impart some of this knowledge to my fellow freshmen.
To begin, my highest recommendations are primarily on the 5 dollar menu. This is mainly because of my frugal nature and the fact that I buy my brother lunch everyday and buying anything other than what's on this menu would break my bank. Also, bear in mind that in my opinion the best bread to use in these sandwiches is 9-grain honey oat. Although the type of bread is not a huge deal, I have found this type to maximize deliciousness.
Let's go through the options shall we?
Black Forest Ham -- A staple of the 5 dollar menu, this offers a rather basic sandwich if you're not looking for anything too fancy. I get this one quite a bit.
BLT -- I really like bacon on my sandwiches and the BLT is one of my favorites. Despite the fact that it's a little on the meagre side when it comes to actual quantity of meat, it's pretty good if you're not ravenous.
Spicy Italian -- This may be the best 5 dollar footlong with a great deal of meat for the same price as other less meaty sandwiches. With a spicy zing to it, it's really good with southwest chipotle or ranch dressing.
Cold Cut Combo -- Not a bad sandwich. The meat is rather low grade but hey it's just a sandwich right?
Meatball Marinara -- Bleh. This sandwich actually makes me rather sick to the stomach to think about. Idk. If meatballs are your thing then go for it, but i found the vast quantity of meat juxtaposed with its low quality rather disgusting. I had it once or twice but never again.
Tuna -- never had it personally... I guess if tuna's your thing then go for it.
Veggie Delight -- Meh. Not really my thing. May as well get a salad if you're not gonna bother with meat. Never tried it personally.
This might not be all of them but these are the main ones that i remember. With respect to vegetables, I usually get olives, pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, and green peppers. Any more condiments than this and I think you run the risk of overpowering the meat in the sandwich and then all the sandwiches end up tasting the same which is rather lame to say the least.
Well, there you have it. There are a lot of other good sandwiches at subway not on the 5 dollar menu (Subway melt, chicken teriyaki, philly cheese steak, etc...) but these are the ones that I can speak with the most authority on. Eat fresh everyone.
