I went to one in Florida (Tampa) ... Let's just say it wasn't Arizona.
Coming from Connecticut, I'm a tough critic.



you're right Greg, NONE of those chain joints can EVER equal an Independent GRINDER shop from New England, EVEN THOUGH, Subway is headquartered in Milford,CT.
Subway is the company name but the corporate name WAS or still is Doctors Associates. ( any more info on that is welcomed please ).
that sounds like to me they're only in it for the profits.
nothing wrong with that.
 
if I'd have invested my money in that, I'd be eating at Franklin Ave. Giant Grinder every day for lunch and Chuck's Steakhouse every night for dinner.

    If you have a Capriotti's in your area, they have JJ's, Subway and the rest of the Chain Joints beat 14 ways from Sunday. http://www.capriottis.com/
    There are better mom & pop shops, but for a chain, they're tops.


    Hey, thanks!
     
    Tried them yesterday and the food was great.
     
    One problem though:  while I (a "Jim") was waiting for my sandwich a "Tim" and a "Kim" were also waiting for theirs.  The native Spanish-speaker who was calling names pronounced all of our names indentically so there was quite a traffic jam at the ready counter.  I've encountered this before and am thinking about becoming a "Jaime" (hai'-may)!

      A friend of mine (female) always gives her name as "Bob". One memorable lunchtime, the person behind the counter called out "Girl Bob".
