Some areas of the country only have exposure to sub-par sammies. That's it. I've been slugging down quality hoagies since a young age and found Jersey Mike's to be so underwhelming, and - even without considering how overpriced it is - I only tried it once.

I mean, you could order any combination of what they have. I used to get the 56 with the chipotle mayo from the 43. A 99 (since they numbered everything that's what we would do).

It was down the street from work so we'd hit it once every week or two. It wasn't bad. I have no idea what it is now and all my opinions are based on what I remember from years and years ago.

That's the funniest single word I've read in a bit. I actually lol'd.

No, Mike's is tasteless garbage.

I don't understand how they're successful.

Capriottis is now nationwide, I suspect that's what motivated Mike's to try the same thing.

If there's one within a reasonable drive, go. You'll see what a sub should be.

Hell, Quizno's is 10x better than Mike's.
