That's ok man the fit bit counted those steps you took to the counter and if you have a fancy one I think it logged your increased heart rate during your feast.

I had Wendy's for the first time in 3 months, basically since my son was born. It was a brand new Wendy's and everything was super fresh and the baconator came in a box and looked like a commercial. I've never inhaled food so fast in my life.

Jimmy Johns is just good cold sandwiches, but yeah it's nothing super spectacular. The Gargantuan is good, but I like their Italian sandwich with hot peppers.
Yeah I think the space Jimmy John's occupies is in the completely good to above average regular cold sandwiches that you can get delivered in like 10 minutes with no minimum order amount. And their customizations are good too. I usually get the Turkey Tom with double meet, oregano, brown mustard, onions, and a couple of other things.

#9 (Italian Night Club) with lite mayo, hot peppers, sprouts, no tomato, extra cheese. Deliciousness!

Pro tip for germophobes: ask for packets of mayo or else they just use mayo from the tub that stays out all day and develops a "crust" they have to swirl into the mix. I still get the regular mayo because I'm not a fucking pussy, but hey.

I ate at Jimmie Johns once. It was terrible.

nah, it wasn't bad, just unimaginative. I can't understand making a special trip to the mediocre deli. At least places like Quiznos or whatever have something I can't easily do at home.

And that crusty mayo is fucking gross dog. I just vomited a little in my mouth.

I had the gargantuan today. It was good, but hardly lived up to its name in terms of size. I ended up stopping for a box of Runts to fill the hunger gap. I think these two Jimmy John's experiences are enough. It'll be Firehouse Subs all day errday for me.

They opened up a Which 'Wich near me. My first impression was it's overpriced as fuck, but it's growing on me. Sometimes I'm in the mood for something that tastes a bit....cleaner than what Firehouse is offering.

Finally something we can agree on. Firehouse is far better than any other chain sub shop. The smokehouse cheddar brisket is fucking $$$. Gotta add lettuce to it at least though

Never had Firehouse. How does it compare to Potbelly? I think that's my favorite chain sandwich shop.

Firehouse is better than Potbelly, imo. But it is kind of two different things. Potbelly is pretty much a decent deli sandwich, Firehouse is a hot, greasy mess.

Your Firehouses must suck because while we only have like 4 in the Twin Cities Metro area here, all 4 are awesome as hell and I've had everything on their menus, none of which was greasy, not even the meatball sub. Shit is leaps and bounds better than Potbelly, Which Wich, JJ's and Jersey Mikes.

I worked at a BK, the mayo crust is the reason I haven't eaten mayo in 15 years. Shit is disgusting. Won't even eat it out of a jar now.

I meant that as a complement. The Steamer, the only thing I ever get, is just a fucking mess to eat but it is delicious. I don't really think it is a fair comparison to Potbelly though, other than being sandwiches they don't have much in common.

The whole concept of steamed vs toasted, idk. Maybe I just haven't had enough Potbelly sandwiches (and never will, unfortunately) but I never got the whole crazy messy sandwich vibe from them.

I don't think I have ever gotten a sandwich toasted at Subway since they started doing it. Only thing I ever get from Subway now is the tuna, anything else I get at Capriotti's.
