Time to check out Jimmy Johns. I haven't yet, but the original Jimmy John is a huge big game hunter.

I trace the demise directly to this series of commercials.

I liked Quiznos, it sure seemed like it took a long to me for it to run through the oven though. Not exactly conducive to "fast food". I like Jimmy Johns a lot and Potbelly. Subway is just awful, no wonder Jared lost all that weight if that's all he ever ate

My new favorite is Jersey Mikes. They make a pretty mean sandwich.

Used to be one LBJ/Coit. Went in there twice and they always just looked at me like what the $^## you want. They would just say yes and look at you. Never seemed happy that I came through the door which was odd because there was a Subway 60 ft away. Their service and attitude killed them

Man, I ain't a fan of Jimmy John's either. I can't find one where food is good, employees give a crap, or tables are clean.
Thats in several locations in several states. If I were Drew Breeze, I'd not associate myself with that franchise.

Not a huge fan of Quiznos. Jimmy John's and Pot Belly are better in my opinion, but I rarely eat a sandwich anywhere but Schlotzky's. They still make the best toasted sandwiches IMHO.

Firehouse is better than Q ever was IMO. JJ have only done delivery but they are ok.
Quiznos I tried a couple times when there was one close to work but IMO subway is better so that does not say much for them.
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true Mainstream news might be fun to watch

I never had a good sandwich at Quiznos. And their prices were outrageous. Firehouse isn't a bad sandwich but their prices are high and they have them hidden while they make them. I just don't like the place. I dunno what subway you eat at but the ones I frequent make a good sandwich for me. Sad thing is I order a veggie most of the time.
