I'm trying something new at my local goodcents. I placed the order online today, so I can just pick it up and will have less face time with my guy.

We were already on thin ice with regional chains like Goodcents, and most regular sub chains can't really compete w/ specialty shops like Schlotzky's (sp?) for quality.

Get this thread under control OP.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

NJ Michael's is very good, but I'm surprised at their strong lead. Unless you get a melty cheesy one, they can be a bit dry.

If I'm wanting a sandwich, my go-to place is Eatzi's.

Catching up on this thread:

Goodcents is great.  You naysayer people make me sick.  Their bread is just on a totally other level.   A little fun fact about Goodcents is that (at least at one point) had the greatest failure rate of any franchise, food or otherwise! http://cantercommercialre.com/documents/The%2025%20Riskiest%20Franchises%20for%20Lenders%201_26_09%20NuWire%20Investor.pdf

Picklemans is OK -- they've got some decent options.  Their italian beef doesn't do it for me though -- chicago snobbery sticks with me.  They've got some pretty good stuff though.

Love planet sub.  Sometimes when I go to the planet sub downtown I see Stan Weber there and he and i talk about how great Landry played against OU this season.

I also have entered a Jason's Deli renaissance.  Their location downtown just closed their dining room for a bit, but until that happened, I would go there and hound down a steak poboy and spend the afternoon with the soft-serv machine, which is free!  There's nothing they can do to interfere with your soft serve intake.  One day I was on cone 8 or so and an employee came over and asked if I had had enough ice cream and I said "no...and you know what, I don't think Jason would like to hear about you hassling me...would you like me to call Jason and find out?" and the employee walked away haha.

The last time I ate at subway was in 2016 in Waukegan, Illinois.  It was a Friday during lent and I ordered a cheese pizza from there wtf. 

I've never had NJ Mike's.  My sandwich intake is entirely dependent on what is close to me and NJ Mike's is never really the closest good option.

if anything they are a bit wet. you have to ask them to hold the O&V, otherwise it's like not even car-safe

Jer Mike's recently ruined a light gray pullover I have. O&V squirted out on the pullover. I treated it and washed it three times and the stain never came out.

Their hot subs are very dry, in fact I used to love their phillys but I won't order from there again. Their cold subs are very wet. Do you not get the "Mike's Way?" That's where all their juice is, in the Mike's Way ordering.

Jer Mike's also has a very good rewards program, not as good as Which Wich but good nonetheless.

i’ve been to the jason deli a few times, a few key takeaways-
1) the menu makes cheesecake factory’s menu look small by comparison
2) it’s slightly less expensive than capital grille
3) it wasn’t good by any stretch of the imagination
4) jason can shove his deli up his ass


Cheesy Mustache QB might make an appearance.

I've lived across the street from a Jason's Deli for 3.5 years and I've never been. LET THAT SINK IN.

As already mentioned I eat it a fair amount and can't disagree with any of this. I should also mention I haven't been there post COVID. I went to Jason's when I wanted a good salad. I preferred Jason's salad bar to Dillon's or Hy-Vee.

free ice cream though and if they try and hassle you you can threaten to have jason fire their ass.

the steak po boy is legitimately really good btw.

Tried Mike's once or twice, but didn't enjoy. I have a free sub coupon burning a hole in my pocket rn. Will try "Mike's way" and report back.

I'm expecting angels to dance on my tongue.
