  • Sandwiches are one of my absolute favorite meals. I would pick many sandwiches over a steak dinner any day of the week.

    Which wich is average at best. Maybe a bit better than subway, but doesn't come close to jersey mike's, firehouse, or potbelly. I'm not even that huge a fan of penn station or jimmy johns but they are both miles ahead of which wich.

    Very confusing ordering system as well. You grab a card out of a slot, write your name on it, check a bunch of boxes, and they send it through the toaster.

  • Well, thanks for saving me the misery of going there then.  It is a shame they ruined a good name with average products.

    When I lived in IL, Jersey Mike's was the closest thing I could get to the Italian subs back here on the east coast.  I used to go there almost weekly for one.  I couldn't believe it, but they actually built one about 5-10 miles from where I currently live.  I never thought they would with all of the competition of pizza shops in the area and Primo Hoagies.  I may have to swing by there this week for a #13.

    Jersey Mike's is definitely my favorite chain. The only thing I don't like is how long it takes if there is anyone in line. I get the schtick of how fresh it looks when sliced to order, but it takes FOREVER.

  • I agree on that place being slow.  The last time I ordered on line and drove the 15 minutes there to pick it up, walk out the door, and drive back home to eat it.

  • I eat a lot of sandwiches, but they are all boring.....  ;)

  • There are no boring sandwiches!

  • Sure makes it hard to watch all this good stuff when you are trying to eat less carbs (esp bread). However, we have been removing the top of the bun/bread and having open faced.  NOT THE SAME! But better than no sammie at all.  :2cents:

  • This morning, I got a text from Jersey Mike's about a double points day today.  I ended up ordering a #13 with double meat (only $2.50 extra for a large) with Door Dash delivery.  Great choice.

    It seems that JM has cut back on the amount of bread they use versus when I lived in IL.  I think that is a great thing.  I now like them better than Primo especially with the double meat option.

  • Greek Flatbread is finished.  Gyro meat has been ground and seasoned.  I am waiting for Memphis Pro to hit 550° and I will cook about a lb of it.  It should have 24 hours to let the spices meld with the meat, but I want a gyro!  Have to go in and make just a touch of tzatziki!

  • Fortunately, you are fine with experimenting.  Sounds like you will have it nailed by 2nd or 3rd try and will be set for the rest of your life on how to make it.

  • The gyro looks tasty. It's been awhile since I've made them. I seem to go in spurts on alot of things. I used to make them often.

  • Great looking gyro. Love that stuff.

    I’m also a Jersey Mike’s fan. The pandemic has exposed me to the app so I don’t wait in line anymore. #13 Italian minus pepperoni add extra capicola. Don’t forget to ask for the sweet peppers that they keep in the back where they cook the cheesesteaks.

    My wife usually gets a 13 and I get a 6 or 9. We get minis on rosemary parm bread then each get a half of each other's. Mike's way. Add pickles and banana peppers on mine. I actually am not a big double meat sub person. I kind of prefer less meat and more bread to an extent at least. I think JM is about the perfect ratio for their normal subs. I don't do their hot subs much but their reuben is pretty solid.

  • I’d eat that gyro all day everyday.  Add hot cherry pepper relish.
