Yeah, they stopped carrying roast beef, and every sandwich that uses it. The club was my faaaaaavvvvooorite

I dunno how Subway thinks it can compete against other sandwich places without roast beast. It was already near bottom tier, and only beat the others in terms of food volume vs. price. Now they don't even have that going for them. $8+ for a footlong? smdh

I like made-in-house roast beef from basically any deli that has it, but chain restaurant roast beef is like not even the same food item.

Actual roast beef is just that, a slice of roasted beef. It has some seasoning and is browned on the outside, the inside is still pink and has no seasoning, not even salt. It pairs perfectly with raw onions, pickled veg, and horseradish mayo sauce. A kimmelweck roll (kaiser roll with salt and caraway seeds) is loving amazing with some actual honest to god roast beast.

Chain roast beef, even the good stuff like Boar's Head, is closer to ham or pastrami. It is uniformly salty all the way through, and usually uniformly brown/grey all the way through as well. It is a salty cured(?) meat made from beef. It has that unpleasant "artificially made" flavor that I crave a couple times a year, in the same category as pre-made meatballs or fish balls, or store bought gravy/stuffing. It's not the real thing but sometimes I want to eat it.

I would eat either one, but actual fresh roast beef is so much better with all the accoutrements you would put on a deli sandwich.

I never went to Subway for the beef, and I am not sad that it is gone.

Yeah Subway is way too expensive now. And I was going to switch from the BMT to the club and 2 times ago when I went there I asked for it and they said their new club is with bacon instead of roast beef. The club was one of the lower calorie things on the menu and adding bacon doesn't help that.

You can get some pretty good non corpse grey Boars head but it doesnt last too long in my experience in your fridge. When i worked at jimmy johns I always had respect for people who asked for the rarest RB and hated the people who asked for the grayer ones.

The first time I ordered one of the cheese steak subs I was so excited, gently caress yeah, this is going to be tasty as poo poo, slam dunk.

And then that came out.

I should have known, Subway always disappoints.


It's reminding me of one of the first memories I have of going into a Subway as a teenager. I got the seafood sub, and as the guy handed it to me when he was done he said "Wow, I would never eat one of those, knowing what goes into it. Here you go!" like wtf, it's a standout memory of one of the worst interactions I have had at a fast food place. I'm quiet and polite, wasn't starting poo poo, so I have no idea what was going on there.

The last time Subway got me was the oven sliced turkey or whatever, showing these thick slices of turkey and then I ordered it and it's just these thin regular lunch meat style pieces, now I'll never believe they can make anything on the level with what you can get at a place nicer than subway.

There were limited times where they served what they called "carved turkey", which were actual thick cuts of turkey, but they would be more expensive and typically around during the months around Thanksgiving. It also might have been a limited market option, but I'm not sure if they've had it in years.

Carved turkey was an LTO that was made year-round until Subway's supply chain started collapsing during covid and they started doing stupid things like making it so stores couldn't order the shredded cheese (the one you need for the Italian herb and cheese bread, basically the closest thing they have to a signature offering)

Subway is too expensive for the garbage they provide. It's like $8 for a sub now for the lowest of the lowest quality of ingredients.

I like Cousins. I usually get the Chicken Cheddar Deluxe. But I have to worry about calories and Cousins is pretty difficult to work that in. Last time I went there I got their cheese curds for the first time and I was actually impressed.

Cousins is good.

yeah I've heard their curds are super legit, but I haven't tried them yet

I suppose since the subs are 8.5 inches instead of subway's 6, they will be more calories

I do like Cousin's, but agree that 8.5in is an awkward size. 4.25in of sub is not enough, but then saving 2in of sub feels weird.

That confused the poo poo out of me because that program had been dead for so long. Turns out it's just a weird scam now. Or it was 5 years ago.

The subway near me has been keeping their toppings overnight. I guess because of lack of business. I had the worst tomato I ever tasted, and had to pick that poo poo off my sub. I fear I shall not be going to Subway again

There was a 24 hour Subway that switched to closing at 9:00 during the pandemic. I would never go in there because often the worker was hanging out front with his friends and I didn't want to interrupt them.

Anyway there appears to be someone living in there now, the Carls next door is open until 1:00 and there is a guy in there with the main store lights off that you can see moving around by the light of the cookie warmer and you can tell he still has his uniform on.
