ugh subs....... i dont know, im just not into them, partly because they have meat a lot of the time, and im a vegetable..... i mean vegetarian

I live in the Boston area and am a fan of a good sub once in a while. Usually something with chicken in it. Where would I get such a food item? A pizzeria, of course. Other than a pizzeria I don't think I could find a sub near me. On highways there is an occasional D'Angelo. Sometimes I see a Subway.

Apparently, this is not the case everywhere. I understand that sandwich-specefic stores/restaurants are a much more common place to get a sub in some areas. I recently learned this and was surprised. To me, subs and pizza go together. Does this sound crazy to you? Who's crazy here?

hey man, if you ever happen to be rolling through the elitist suburbanite hellhole that is sudbury anytime you should check out a place called Sudbury Pizza on route 20, nr to blockbuster...we have a d'angelo's, but everyone knows that sud p's is the place for a decently priced and overly filling sub (avoid their pizza)...you cant go wrong with a small cheese burger sub at $2.50...i would say there are few other places you can get a filling meal and a drink for under $3 anywhere nearby

at d'angelo $2.50 would buy you pretty much nothing, although i have been know to grab a nice chicken ceasar (sp?) wrap from d'angelos in the past

have you been to the penang malasian resturant in harvahd square (close to the garage)?  lunch is 7 bucks for more food than i could eat...great pad thai

No, the best way to really get a good sub is to go to the center of historic Lexington.  After a while of searching, you'll find one place, and that'll be pricey, yuppy, and with mediocre food.

Then you go to D'Angelo's and start appreciating the good sub

I find that usually your independent or mom and pop stores have the best stuff.  For chain stores I like Quizno's and Subway-but a real good sandwich comes from Penn Station.  Oh and Jersey Mikes!  I may go get a sub now!

There's a place in the Twin Cities that has subs (they call them hoagies, even though 99% of Minnesotans do not) and pizza. There are probably close to 20 stores in the area, but I don't think they have intentions to branch out nationwide. It's not their style.

Anyway... Davanni's. The pizza isn't wood-fired but amazingly close, it's always fresh, the sandwiches are to-die-for. I loathe Subway, had Quiznos once and thought it was so-so. I'm totally spoiled by my Davanni's. Garlic butter makes all the difference.

I think my friend from last year, who went to school in PC, might have mentioned that place.

I took a year off from school last year, spent a year working full time.  I met this guy at the program I was working at, but we haven't seen each other since the thing ended, and we've only talked a couple times.

Subway is OK, but I much prefer Togo's. Mmmm...Togo's. A number 8 (roast beef and turkey) or their Pastrami Ruben is really good. Or their turkey and bacon or...or.....

The one near me burned down, so now I'm Togo's-less. whaa!

Quizno's makes the best subs I have ever tasted, and when you're eating them, so much of the stuff falls onto your plate that it's almost the equivalent of a second course.

In my opinion that's a drawback, not a benefit. A sandwich is supposed to be stuff between bread. If the stuff falls out, it's no longer between bread. The quality of the sandwich has therefore diminshed.

As faras sammiches go...Jimmy John's. Only St.Louisans and Columbians and KCs really know about that place. YUM

Jimmy John's are all over her in Michigan as well.  I like Togo's out in CA, the afformentioned #8 rocks.  Here in Michigan there is a good place called Jersey Giant, but the best place is Mancino's.  Homemade bread, and absolutely loaded inside, 18" of gastrointestinal bliss.

Mmmmm gastrointestional bliss......
I can't remember what number my sammich was but I don't think it really IS a number bec I tell em exactly how to make it. JimmyJohns rules. I know theres several here in StL but I dont think any are close enough to me for me to keep going.

Jersey Mikes in PA is pretty F-in good

Once, I went to Quiznos and got an actual human hand instead of roast beef. I was hospitalized for weeks, and had to get all of my organs transplated because they failed. So, I don't go there anymore.

Oh, and a friend of mine went to Subway and got mad cow disease and his brain leaked out his ears. It was messy. So we don't go there anymore either.

Heh... exactly. And, it's never "Oh, I got sick"... It's, "I puked my effin guts out... all night long... I had to be hospitalized!!!"
